Up at 2:18. 

Today is Dawn's 70th birthday.

Happy Birthday Dawn!

It's only the 2nd day of my 18 day quest to catch up on my blog by doing two posts a day. I can't get my computer to work. I wanted to start working on my blog at 7:30 and now it's 10:30 and I've done nothing. I am so frustrated! I'm taking a break and reading from 'Beloved Emma.' 

James had a doctor's appointment today with Dr. Oldham, an orthopedic surgeon that Dr. Smithson referred him to for his knee. He is also located in Eagar, just like Dr. Smithson. He says he's not going to get his knee operated on but the doctor is going to do surgery on his finger that catches. That surgery is scheduled the day before we leave for Texas. Such timing. 

I have been soaking chicken tenders in dill pickle juice since last night. This afternoon I made chicken strips and green beans with turkey bacon, and other seasonings. I found the recipe on the box of the four cans of green beans and it's a good one. Both were delicious!

Marinating the chicken tenders in the pickle juice made them so moist and tender. 

Besides paying bills there were two things I worked on this afternoon, reading from 'Beloved Emma' and blogging. I wanted to finish 'Beloved Emma by today, the end of the month, but I still have four more chapters. I blogged September 13th which was very slow because of all of the photos. I finished most of the writing for September 14th but still have photos to put on. I will finish tomorrow morning. 

I listened to 'Behold the Man'. The Sanhedrin and soldiers just arrested Jesus. The is going to be the sad part of the book.

James mowed the lawn and de-weeded it. It looks beautiful!

D&C 109:8

Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;
