I was up at 2:38 this morning. Who wants to sleep when there is so much to do! 

We had several tender mercies today. My computer wouldn't come on. I said a prayer and boingo, it came on. I misplaced my Airpods today. I looked everywhere I could think of and then I said a prayer. After saying the prayer I thought to look in the pocket of my jeans which were hanging up in the closet. There they were. 

James got his heat treatment on his hands, feet, and back. We read from the Book of Mormon, did the "Come Follow Me" section of the lesson for today and had prayer. 

James's big accomplishment today, as far as I am concerned, was getting the old refrigerator moved outside. He got it out into the entryway and then he asked Paul Peeler to come over and help him get it outside on the front porch. He told him it would take five minutes. It took much longer, but they did it. Thank you Paul!

 Waiting for our new frig to be delivered.

We thought the new refrigerator was going to come today but they postponed it until Tuesday. Monday is a holiday. We were a little frustrated because we waited all day for someone to come.

Jared sent me a request today. He said he would like me to tell him about my experience of being sealed to my parents because he is talking about temple work to the youth in his ward. I sent him my experience and how I felt about it.

Stacy told me today that Joshua has not received any of my texts for the past two weeks. Something is wrong with his phone. From now on I will send the scripture readings for the day to Paul and he will forward them on to Joshua. 

James was using a saw today. It slipped and it cut his pants above his knee but did not cut his garments or his skin. We consider this proof that garments really are a protection if you are living your covenants. What a blessing and a tender mercy!

Crisis averted

I cleaned one section of my closet. It took me awhile because it was the section that needed the most work. I loaded the car with stuff for Goodwill.

I made omelets, turkey bacon, and spinach for dinner. James and I both love to buy fresh spinach and cook it down with vineager. It is delicious!

I am giving a talk tomorrow during the 2nd hour about study the "Come Follow Me" lesson at home to prepare for a discussion at church during Sunday School. I typed out my outline and I believe I am prepared. Home based, Church supported gospel learning.
