Names of Jesus Christ
One of Brian's gifts to Kim
I need an attitude adjustment. I read "The Power of Fasting" and felt the power. I fasted this morning.
Brian's rib still hurts from yesterday. We didn't think he would make it to church, but he did. We sat in the back row as we always do when Kim and Brian come. Some of our friends, Willy Grombach, Brother Hipps, and Roger Wallace, all came back to say hello. Brian & Kim's friends, Neil & Kim Tarwater were here and Brian spoke with Neil while Kim came back to talk to Kim, and us. The Montgomery's, Dave & Tammy were here too.
I talked with Susan Crane as Tina Allen asked me to. Their family will clean on Saturday while James & I will clean on Thursday. Saturday is Aunt Faye's 90th birthday party.
Brother Dobson conducted the meeting. He made one mistake, he called Alicia Hunsaker, who led the music, Sister Golly.
I loved Kristine Hipps' testimony. I was also touched by Brother Brown's testimony about how he learned to treat a difficult child with patience, love, and kindness. He then bore testimony that Heavenly Father does the same thing for us.
I am struggling mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Being at church is helping. I didn't feel like going to Sunday School, but I went anyway. Kim & Brian left after sacrament meeting to go to Snowflake where someone named Rod is going to do a chiropractic adjustment for Brian.
Brother Applegate's lesson on an introduction to the Old Testament was good. He was very prepared with lots of discussion questions and power point slides. Did I feel the Spirit? I am not sure, but I am glad that I stayed.
At home we broke our fast. We are fasting for better health, work, and personal peace. I will pay our fast offerings this week when I pay our tithing so our fast will be complete.
I had a 1:30 appointment with Brother Tesarek to get my temple recommend renewed. James drove me. My friend Pat Tedder was there too for a temple recommend interview. Her interview was with Brother Dobson.
Brother Tesarek said I was his first ever adult recommend interview and he hoped I wouldn't mind if he read the questions. Of course not.
I passed! Now on to the stake. Next week is our ward conference and hopefully I can get my recommend signed by the stake after the block.
I saw a Christmas post by Jeanne Wallen on Facebook messenger where she sent snowman hats to all of her kids and grandkids. There were pictures of James & Sadie, Anna & Shaun, Emmy & her boyfriend, and Molly. I decided I was going to ask Jeanne if she would send me addresses for all of the kids. She was happy to do it. Now I can send them birthday cards. Anna's birthday is the 17th of January so she will be first.
James heard that his friend Greg Anderson had suffered a stroke. Greg called him back while we were out on a Sunday drive. It was a mini-stroke and he is okay.
This evening Kim and I watched the latest Hallmark movie starring Lacey Chabert & Ian Harding, "Lost in Paradise." We really enjoyed it and decided that Ian Harding is one of our new favorites.
I went to bed around 8, taking two of our purple sleeping pills. I have stomach pains and a sense of not belonging in this world. What am I looking for? James is so supportive and such a sweetheart.
The only one in the world?
big sister Mel.
I think I want to do that too, beginning with
this one.
