Moroni 8:1-30

GC:     Lest Thou Forget by Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"Each of us must first strengthen ourselves spiritually
and then strengthen those around us.  Ponder the scriptures
regularly, and remember the thoughts and feelings you
experience as you read them.  Seek other sources of truth as
well, but heed this caution from the scriptures: 
'But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels
of God.' Attend Church meetings, especially sacrament meeting, and partake of the sacrament and renew covenants, including the promise to always remember the Savior, that His Spirit
may ever be with you."

Elder Bruce D. Porter passed away today.
He was 64 years old.

James and I spent the morning at home studying, blogging, reading, and keeping the fire going.  We had leftover roast and veggies for lunch.  I washed sheets on three beds and then got ready to go to town.  We stopped to get mail.  We got a card from Ruth Gale and a picture, plus a Christmas card picture from the Boles.  We read from "Babylon" and shopped at Walmart and Home Depot.  I got my methotrexate and $200 worth of groceries.  

We had burgers for dinner.  James did some indexing.  Afterwards we watched "When Calls the Heart, the Christmas Special."  

Other news and memories:  
Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher's mother, passed away today.
She said she missed Carrie and wanted to be with her.
They are listing the cause of death as a stroke.

Carrie, Debbie, and Carrie's daughter.

I remember this picture.  Liz Taylor was Debbie's best friend
and Eddie was Debbie's husband.  He left Debbie to be with Liz.
I remember thinking in this picture that his eyes were definitely
on Liz.  I always admired Debbie Reynolds because she forgave them both.
