Up at 2:25. I love the early morning hours!

Every day I set a goal to stand as a witness of Jesus Christ. That is one of the reasons I look for opportunities to serve. Also, I never got to serve a full-time mission. I told James that's why I give so much service. 

Today I am making Geno Woods's birthday cake. He is turning 10 and is the cutest, sweetest kid. 

Geno wants a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I started this morning to allow myself plenty of time and I am glad I did, although everything went smoothly as I prayed it would. 

James drove us over and I held the cake. 

My cakes are not fancy like Kim's.

Pantera who is 7, Cress their grandmother who is

raising them, and Geno. Jacob their 11 year old

brother was at football practice and Grandpa Richard 

was at work. I love this family!!

When we got home I was so tired. I sat down to rest on the bedroom recliner and tried to watch the premier of Dancing with the Stars but I just couldn't get into it.

After being outside all night Tom came in to spend some time in the house. These are the questions I ask him when he has spent the night outside: Tom, did you party in the pines? Did you frolick in the field?

And because of the rain I asked if he romped in the rain? He never answers me just looks at me and wonders if I'm going to give him a treat.

I am getting no more response from Rowan, Evan, and Joshua when I send them the scriptures to read each day. I do hear from Max, Adam, and Michael from time to time but I miss my R.E.J.

James cut a board for my Matthew 11:28-30 scripture which goes under my yoke. I think it turned about looking good:

In other good news I got an Amazon order delivered to the house today. Inside the box were the following items:

A new purple dress, an exotic bird puzzle, a cape, hearts & circles for our family birthday calendar, and a book reading light. It's always a happy day when an Amazon order arrives!

"We feel God's love when we do things that draw us closer to Him ... and stop doing things that distance us from Him."

Let no man be afraid to lay down his life for my sake; for whoso layeth down his life for my sake shall find it again.

I think the small one actually belongs to a

neighbor but she has adopted Dennis.
