'That All May Be Edified'
Chad H. Webb
I was still in bed trying to get a little extra sleep when Tom climbed up on me. He wanted me to get up. He started playing and got a little carried away, scratching and biting me on the arm. He drew blood. I was pretty upset and he knew it. No treat for him this morning.
Someone or something took one of the bags of cat food I had on the porch by Sammy's food bowl. James looked for it outside but never found it. He says he only remembers two bags and I assured him that there were three. I texted Kim and she confirmed there were 3 and that she had seen them on the porch before she left. Needless to say, I brought the other two boys inside. So, the mystery remains, where is the missing bag?
I called the attorney's office to speak with JoNell regarding our "Downwind" cancer case in New Mexico. JoNell wasn't in, but I spoke to the actual attorney, Tommy Thompson. He said things were slowed down because of the government shutdown and new personnel and because New Mexico is a new area. Basically the same thing JoNell told me. He said first, we needed to be assigned a claim number and that should take another three weeks or so. After we are assigned a claim number, our case needs to be approved and that should take another three weeks or so. He said then it will be another three weeks or so for payout. So I guess we are looking at another 9 weeks or more. A little disappointing since we have had the information in since August.
I was working on my blog when I got a text from one of my ministering sisters, Susan Goodman. She asked if she could come by and bring me some Christmas goodies. I texted back, "certainly."
She only lives a couple of miles away, so I hurried to make myself presentable. I told her that she made my day by texting and coming by because it was nice to know that someone was thinking about me.
She gave me a bag of candy, a mini jar of Vaseline, and some cute Christmas spatulas. She said Pierce was out in the car waiting for her as they were going to town, so we didn't talk long. She loved our tree and I told how Kim had been decorating our Christmas tree for years and that the tree had almost 5,000 lights.
I did two blogposts and wrapped Darrel's Christmas present. I would have wrapped Lola's too, but Tom was asleep and I didn't want to turn on the light and wake him up. Afterwards I decided I wasn't going to give him that much consideration anymore because he is keeping me from reaching my goals and besides, he bit me, even if he did think we were playing.
We finished watching the First Presidency Christmas Devotional this evening. We listened to President Holland and President Eyring. I think out of the four talks I liked Brother Farnes's and President Eyring's the best.
I forgot to post about the gingerbread house party at Stacy's tonight. Kim was the only one who actually made a house, but there were pictures of others who were there. Pictures of the party will be on Thursday's post.
"The Holy Spirit can bear witness to your heart that you are indeed a child of the Most High.

Article of Faith 1:3
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
