Exodus 8.

Why would Pharaoh harden his heart yet again after witnessing God's miracles? Pharaoh's behavior exhibits a pattern. During the time of stress, Pharaoh was willing to promise anything. But as soon as the stress ended, he hardened his heart and became unwilling to do what he had promised. Why would he do this? Am I ever like this? Is it because of a hardened heart or because of weakness and selfishness. Am I willing to give up some sins provided God will permit me to keep others? This is not right and I must be continually watchful of the desires of my heart and my behavior.

James and I attended a meeting this morning at Cheryl Sedig's to help plan the Relief Society/Elders Quorum lessons for the next six months. Others who attended: Cheryl Sedig, Donna Beckham, and Brother Sandoval who is the elders quorum president. Here is what we scheduled for the next six months: (A is for Amy, the other teacher).

All of the talks that I wanted got chosen. I am so grateful and I am excited that I get to lead the discussions for the talks by President Oaks, and by President Freeman.

Loose ends that are bothering me: Selling the Razr engine, getting rid of the Razr and getting a new one by our anniversary. Finishing our taxes, getting our trust addendum notarized and finding out the password on my bank account instead of facial recognition.

I'm also worried about Darrel & Trina selling their home and we are praying for them. I am worried about the upkeep on our home and James dangling from a ladder or scaffolding.
