Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
John 20:31
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 25:14-26
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Mattew 8:1-17; 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12 "Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole"
"Healing the Sick" Dallin H. Oaks


General Conference
Laying the Foundation of a Great Work
Elder Steven R. Bangerter
"I believe that it is less a question of whether our children are 'getting it' in the midst of our teaching, such as while striving to read the scriptures or to have family home evening or to attend Mutual and other Church meetings. It is less a question of whether in those moments they are understanding the importance of those activities and more a question of whether we, as parents, are exercising faith enough to follow the Lord's counsel to diligently live, teach, exhort, and set forth expectations that are inspired by the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is an effort driven by our faith - our belief that one day the seeds sown in their youth will take root and begin to sprout and grow."

Be Not Troubled
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"Be not troubled." No matter how much wickedness and chaos fill the earth, we are promised by our daily faithfulness in Jesus Christ the 'peace of God, which passeth all understanding.' And when Christ comes in all power and glory, evil, rebellion, and injustice will end." 



Ensign "Your Adventure Through Mortality," Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Come Follow Me."

Brother Howard had lunch with President Shumway today and found out that he is going to be a mission president in Chicago. He leaves with his family in June. He will be a wonderful mission president but we will miss him here in Arizona.

Tom told President Shumway about taking family names and going to the temple. President Shumway told him he needed to continue doing that. Tom asked James to help him find his family names. 

James called the realtor in Deming, the name Hailey gave us. She doesn't want to sell our lots because she says there isn't much commission involved. They don't have water so they are only worth about $10,000 a piece. We have two of them. I guess we are going to have to go down and put for sale signs on them and try to sell them ourselves.

I had to pay some Lambson Construction bills out of our personal account today: Verizon, the line of credit, and Desert Ready Mix. 

We did sell a book today, "Freedom at Midnight," one of the library books we bought for ten cents

I lost half the blog post I did so I got discouraged and quit. I will have to come back to it another time. 

This afternoon James and I did errands in town. I shopped at Walmart while he went to Home Depot to find lightbulbs for the front porch. I got the stuff I need to take dinner to the Campbell's tomorrow night. I also got Tanner's birthday card and mailed it along with my bill from Sallie Mae and the one for Desert Ready Mix. 

We listened. to "Healing Hearts" on the way home. Scarlet fever has broken out in Savage Wells. 23 of the children have it and the doctor is out of town so of course Miriam takes charge.

Today is Ben's email day. I always look forward to hearing from him. 

I finished walking when I got back from town and while I was walking I watched "The Shoe Addict's Christmas."

The Bowen's gave James's name to the Judd's as someone who could build their house.


Sheri's post 




 Last one in the trilogy and the best.
Maybe it's because I guessed 
whodunit.






 Scarlett's sad because it's Monday
and Charlie is sad because she
got her shots today.

Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
John 20:25
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Book of Mormon
Helaman 9:18-41
*It isn't always easy to stand up for what you believe. What do you do to stand strong and defend your beliefs?
- Are we seeing the damage being done to our nation because we don't want to offend anyone? Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, past General Young Women's President said: "Members live in such an atmosphere of avoiding offense that we sometimes altogether avoid teaching correct principles. Of course we should use sensitivity, common sense and our understanding of the plan, to be bold and straightforward, but if we don't teach true doctrine - and teach it clearly - the world will teach those we love Satan's lies.
Old Testament
Isaiah 28-30
General Conference
"Be With and Strengthen Them"
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"Our prayer today is that every man and woman - and our older young men and young women - will leave this general conference more deeply committed to heartfelt care for one another, motivated only by the pure love of Christ to do so. In spite of what we all feel are our limitations and inadequacies-and we all have challenges-nevertheless, may we labor side by side with the Lord of the vineyard, giving the God and Father of us all a helping hand with His staggering task of answering prayers providing comfort, drying tears, and strengthening feeble knees. If we will do that, we will be more like the true disciples of Christ we are meant to be."



This from my novel, "The Lake House":
"Boredom is the province of the witless."

James went out this morning and took pictures of the six bull elk that live near us. Hopefully he will get them downloaded so I can share some of them on here.

We had a nice rainstorm today. I love how fresh and clean everything seems after it rains, except for the mud of course.

I am tired today as I usually am the day after a trip, but I just kept moving, albeit slowly. 

James went to Springerville this afternoon to pickup the slabs of wood he had cut from our juniper tree. He also picked up some poles to replace those worn out on our railing. He had wanted me to go with him but I needed to do my ministering interviews for my district. 

I am not so sure the sisters are catching the vision of what it means to minister. Most of the interviews I had today went somethig like this, 'Yes, I spoke to all three of my sisters but I didn't contact my partner.' Maybe we need to do some training.

This evening as I was reading from the Old Testament Student Manual I became extremely tired and had to go lay down on the coach. Of course, I had to turn on the TV, DWTS. I just watched a dance or two and fell asleep. James said it was time to go to bed, and he was right.


 Sleepin' like a baby

Cutie Pie!

Ben and friends 


Ben's last day in the MTC. When his friend,
Elder Goodman, Peter and Sarah's son, left
for Washington today, Ben said he cried like a baby!



 I like this card, except for the color.
Maybe the photo is in black and white.


 I hope these are the fabrics I get this month!

My journal is not this artistic.
