Two years ago at the Gilbert temple

Alma 43: 41-54
41-44 - The Nephites encircle the Lamanites and the Lamanites fight like dragons and slay many Nephites.
45 - Nevertheless the Nephites were fighting for a better cause. 
46 - They were doing their duty towards God.
47 - The Lord has said: "Ye shall defend your families unto bloodshed."
48 - As the Nephites began to shrink before the Lamanites Moroni had to remind them of what they were fighting for.
50 - They began to stand against the Lamanites with power  As they cried for their freedoms, the Lamanites fled before them.
51 - There were twice as many Lamanites as Nephites.
52 - The Nephites surround the Lamanites and the Lamanites are struck with terror.
54 - Moroni commands his men to stop fighting.

What "better cause" inspires you to fight.

GC: What Shall We Do?  Sister Marriott


James and I played a game of Five Crowns with Kim and Brian before they left.  This time Kim was the winner.  They really did not want to leave but Brian has to go to work tomorrow.

Great smiles!

James finished spreading the top soil and is ready to plant grass.  He got this completed before the rain came.
Working in spite of his pain.

The monsoons hit so hard in the valley that some places are flooded.  The Bogles posted a picture on Facebook of their road that is now a river.  They live in south Chandler formally known as Ocotillo.

I am grateful for my husband.  He worked hard outside then he came in and helped me.  He changed a lightbulb, hung some pictures, and fixed the vacuum.  This evening while we were watching our Hallmark movie he fixed me some Pero.  He wanted to watch our movie tonight since we will have company on Friday and we might not get to watch it then.

For dinner this evening we had squash cooked in my new cookware without water or oil, and a sweet potato.  It really was a most delicious meal.  I am reading a book right now called The China Study.  It says at the top that it is the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted.  The author highly recommends a whole food plant based diet, which totally agrees with the Word of Wisdom.

Interesting

Greg Trimble says: "God will not save a nation of pseudo-Christians."  This has me a little worried, but I totally agree with Brother Trimble.

This brings back fond memories.  I saw these three 
almost everyday after school playing together.
