After the Trial of Our Faith
Elder Jorge M. Alvarado
"As we follow God's voice and His covenant path, He will strengthen us in our trials."
The following is from Emily Belle Freeman's book
"Making It Through the Middle"
"Do not question too much, dear friend,
For the God who ordained the beginning
Can safely be trusted with the end,
As well as with all that lies between."
Did you know that the Lord Jesus Christ is mentioned by name over fifty times in the four chapters of Philippians.
James had an elk answer around 6:30 this morning so he went out "camera stalking" for about two hours. Here are some of the photos he took:
If you look closely he has an x on his nose.
Looks like he's been in the mud.
I asked James what a satellite bull was. He said it's a bull that
follows the herd bull and his herd, hoping the herd bull with
share a cow or two with him.
As I was walking this morning I got a call from my brother Harold. He was out walking his dogs and was just checking to see how I was doing since we haven't seen each other for awhile. How thoughtful. We talked about the Show Low football team and how they have been riddled with injuries, including Quentin, Monte's youngest. They are down to their third string quarterback and Harold says he doesn't think they will make it to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. At the beginning of the year they were very hopeful that they would be one of the better teams in the league.
I don't think I got enough sleep last night because I was extremely tired this afternoon. I sold my Catmopolitan magazine and James went to the post office to mail it not realizing that it was Columbus day. Now I have another book to mail, "The Warded Man." I guess they will both have to go out tomorrow.
James went over to the Kostusiak's to help finish the ramp they are building for Dave's wheelchair. He saw Colin DeWitt there and Colin said he would help clean the temple Saturday night. Let the recruiting begin!
James went to town and got what he needed to fix the woodsplitter. He got some wood split before it broke again. I told him I didn't think he should leave it out in the elements. He needs to get a cover for it.
I bought two books this evening.
Brother Curtis and Sean Hunsaker came over this evening and gave James a blessing of health. He is having surgery in the morning for his hiatal hernia.
We watched "Crossword Mysteries" this evening starring Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott.
