Up at 2:38. 

Happy 30th Anniversary Kim & Brian! I hope you had a great time at Butterfly World today!

The first thing I do when I get up in the morning this time of year is turn on my space heater. 

Starting today I am determined to do two blog posts a day to catch up on my blog. It is beginning to drive me crazy that I am so far behind. How did I allow this to happen. Never again!

The thing that is most difficult about blogging is posting pictures. Half the time my photo app freezes or is painstakingly slow.

I just finished reading a couple of chapters from "Beloved Emma." The Saints have just been driven out of Far West and Joseph is in Liberty jail. It breaks my heart how much these Saints had to suffer. I don't understand, right now, how the Lord allowed women to be raped. I am struggling with that one right now. Hopefully I will begin to understand. 

We made a trip to town this afternoon. One of my main goals was to get chicken tenders to make my Chikfila recipe. I also bought saurkraut, green beans, corn, and DPZ. James went to Home Depot to get something he needed, a strap, or something. He is a little stressed because not only is he having to replace railings but some of the spindles are bad too. 

I listened to "Behold the Man" and had a nap with Tom. 

I am a little depressed with all that is going on in the world right now. The shooting of Charlie Kirk, President Nelson's death, and the attack on the LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Reading about the raid on Far West didn't help either.

It's funny that Kim & Brian went to Butterfly World on the same day that James explained the difference to me about moths and millers. Millers are full of fat and hide under rocks. Bears find them and eat them. Gross. Thanks honey for that wildlife biology lesson.

"We will not be deceived when we seek and take counsel from trusted individuals who are themselves faithful disciples of the Savior."

D&C 109:7
And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom, yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith; 

Kim sent shared this on A.S.K.

James wanted me to see he finished the
tack room.

I finished my bird puzzle
