Temple #49
In Exodus 17:15 the word Jehovah-nissi means "the Lord is my banner." The victory is always the Lord's. Their dependence, Israel's, is always upon him.
I thought my cats were gone when I looked outside and couldn't see any of them. I felt guilty because I kept thinking they were a hindrance if we wanted to move. Thank goodness they are still here.
Gabe Peralta is helping James sand the logs this morning. I worked on my blog this morning until it was time to get ready to leave for the valley. We left at noon to go see James's mom. Gabe was still working as we left. I gave the cats enough food and water to last them until tomorrow evening. James got East Crane to feed the horses.
We went the Payson way and listened to Elaine Dalton on "Follow Him." She talked about what we feel when we study, what we are learning, and what we are going to do differently in our lives. She also talked about developing holy habits and righteous routines.
I love Sister Dalton.
We stopped at the Costco on Baseline & Arizona Avenue. Gas was $3.54 a gallon but the line is so long it would probably take over an hour to get gas so we declined.
There was no Perk left and no individual meals like I saw on an ad on my phone. We got a case of Fairlife shakes and left, headed for Cathi & Terry's.
Cathi & Terry's was very quiet. Dave & Laura were on duty as Cathi & Terry were gone doing errands. Mom's bed was in the middle of the family room and she was asleep on it. She looked drawn and so different from the last time we saw her. She had a couple of small bandages on the gash over her right eyebrow. I held her hand for a minute and spoke to her and then moved so James could take her hand and talk to her. He stayed by her for awhile. I could tell how sad he was.
Stacy, Paul, Adam, Dallin, and Joshua came by this morning and Stacy said she had all of the boys give her a kiss. Aunt Faye and a friend were here too and Rebecca and Scott came and left before we got here, so the house has been busy.
Darrel & Trina came to say goodbye to Mom. Afterwards they went down to Sheri's with James and I. Kim & Brian had been there earlier, but we missed them. Sheri was making chicken tacos as she normally does on Saturday for Max to take to work. Ian came out to say hello and then Evan came out in a tux with flowers. His girlfriend is still in high school and he is taking her to prom.
I had a couple of Sheri's chocolate chip cookies before we left and said goodbye to Darrel & Trina. James and I headed for Walmart to pick up a few things to eat tomorrow. Afterwards James wanted to go to Del Taco for a chicken taco.
At Stacy and Paul's, after getting settled in James went for a walk and I sat on the couch to visit with Stacy & Paul and the dogs. Stacy showed me an interview with Nick Shirley, the return missionary who uncovered the government funded scams in Minnesota and California. Now he has to have a bodyguard. Elon Musk gave Nick $100,000 and praised him for what he did.
"Our congregations and families can be gathering places where we cheer each other on."

Exodus 17:12
But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
