Jesus Christ, Crucifixion

Galatians 3:1

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should ot obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Book of Mormon 

3 Nephi 12:25-48

*What does it mean to you to be perfect?

- Moroni 10:32 says: "Come unto Christ, and be perfected in Him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is His grace sufficient for you, that by His grace ye may be perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God." President James E. Faust explained that we must seek for perfection now so as to be able to attain it in the next life: "Perfection is an eternal goal. While we cannot be perfect in mortality, striving for it is a commandment which ultimately, through the Atonement, we can keep." We have the perfect example in Jesus Christ.

Old Testament

Jeremiah 51-52

The Father

Brian K. Ashton

"Each of us has the potential to become like the Father. To do so, we must worship the Father in the name of the Son."

James went out scouting for deer between Eagar and Big Lake. Not much luck but he went through Eagar and stopped at Aliberto's and brought me back a taco. Yum! I love their tacos.  Thanks honey!

I finally told the kids about the November 10th mini-Lambson reunion in Discovery Park. I said we weren't going because we had to work in the temple. Sheri said she would only come if we came so I told that to James. He said, "Then let's go." Now we have to find someone to trade temple shifts with someone.

I made brownies for James to take with him we he goes hunting tomorrow. I watched the new Halloween episode of "The Good Witch." I'm trying to clean things out of my DVR to make room for the Hallmark movies which start tomorrow.

I cleaned, walked, blogged and listened to "The Distant Hours" today. I also worked on our book business. I am finished with the training and ready to start making some money!

Jesus Christ Atonement through

Hebrews 5:9

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Book of Mormon

Ether 8:18-26

*What warning did Moroni issue to the people of our day, and what are the consequences of heeding or ignoring that warning?

The Prophet Joseph Smith declared: "The devil has no power over us only as we permit him; the moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power."

Doctrine Covenants Favorite Scriptures

DC 27:2

For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory - remembering unto the Father my body which was laid down for you, and my blood which was shed for the remission of your sins.

General Conference

Repentance Is Always Positive

Stephen W. Owens

"We can try to change our behavior on our own, but only the Savior can remove our stains and lift our burdens, enabling us to pursue the path of obedience with confidence and strength."

The Eternal Everyday

Elder Quentin L. Cook

"Alma asked a question in his day that is pertinent today:'If ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?'

Alma continued, 'Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time,...that ye have been sufficiently humble?'

Every time I read about Alma the younger relinquishing his role as head of state to preach the word of God, I am impressed. Alma clearly had a profound testimony of God the Father and Jesus Christ and felt accountable to Them completely and without reservation. He had the correct priorities and humility to give up status and position because he realized that serving the Lord was more important."

James made an appointment with Dr. Moffat this morning and talked me into going to town with him. While he was at the doctors, I did some shopping at Walmart. I had lunch at the McDonald's inside of Walmart after I was done shopping. James had to take 3 prescripttions to CVS and while we were waiting for them to be filled he had lunch at Arby's. 

It was 50 degrees and sunny today. We are praying for snow. On the trip home we read from "A Touch of Scarlett." 

When we got home we too naps. I then turned on a Christmas movie while I worked on my blog. These are the movies I watched today: "Christmas in Vermont," "A Prince for Christmas," "Christmas in Mississippi," and "Maggie's Christmas Miracle."

The last one was the best. I am going to save it to watch when Sheri and Kim come up.

For F.H.E. we listened to Elder Cook's conference address, "The Eternal Everyday."

I am still feeling pretty lousy and so is James.

James bringing me Pero and turning on the fan.

We are watching a movie together.

This is almost a nightly occurrence for him.
