"Know Brother Joseph"
Up at 3:48. My internal clock is allowing me to sleep a little too long. It was a good morning, although my left knee is still hurting.
When I opened the door to feed Sammy and let Tom in I discovered it was raining. Oh my, and now there is fog. I am loving this weather and love it when James builds a fire in the fireplace. It rained solidly for most of the morning.
I started a new audio book today called: "Know Brother Joseph". The chapters are written by scholars who worked on the Joseph Smith papers.
When I listened to "Follow Him" this week Susan Black said the branch mentioned in Isaiah 11:1 was the Church. I wasn't sure about this so I did some research. It wasn't mentioned in my commentary so I got out my Old Testament Student Manual used in the religion class at BYU. Bruce R. McConkie had a lot to say about the branch. He says it is the Savior. The stem or stump is the crucified Christ and the branch is Christ at the Second Coming, or the Millennial Messiah. I liked his answer.
Tomorrow is fast Sunday. We started our fast at 1:30 this afternoon. James wants to fast for better health and it's his turn to choose so that's that.
James got some spindles for the railings from Cope Reynolds today. They are a little small but he is going to use them on the end or alternate them with the larger ones. This will save him from having to buy a lathe. Cope would not take any money. They are painted so James will have to sand them but he is so grateful to have them.
James and I worked on the sunflower puzzle today. All of the edge pieces are in and we finished section B except for one piece. I already finished section A. The sections with lots of green are going to be the most difficult and that includes section C which we are now starting.
I blogged two day and walked 12,000 steps, paid tithing and updated both checkbooks.
Today is Judy Hunter's birthday. I never did get her card mailed. I will take it and a small gift to church tomorrow to give to her along with a note to Debbie Schwarz congratulating her on her upcoming baptism.
James and I were in bed by 8.
"Knowing that Jesus Christ understands life's pains and joys can give us strength beyond our own as we navigate bitter and sweet."

D&C 112:24
Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
sleepover!
