But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

"The Melchizedek Priesthood and the Keys"
President Dallin H. Oaks
"The priesthood is a divine power and authority held in trust to be used for God's work for the benefit of all of His children. Priesthood is not those who have been ordained to a priesthood office or those who exercise its authority. Men who hold the priesthood are not the priesthood. While we should not refer to ordained men as the priesthood, it is appropriate to refer to them as holders of the priesthood."

I am determined, dedicated, and long-suffering.
We had 3 yearling cow elk and one older cow elk in our field this morning.
Heard this quote in something I listened to today but I'm not sure where: Sometimes the best views come after the hardest climbs.
Here is a quote from James, well actually from Karl Marx. James is referring to the current Covid-19 crisis: "Never let a crisis go to waste" - Karl Marx
I spent the morning finishing up my "Come Follow Me" studies. I read chapter 24 of Mosiah with James and then filled in my Mosiah 24 study guide. At 10:30 we went to the Peeler's to have the sacrament and to study "Come Follow Me" with the Peeler's, Goodman's, and Crane's.
Meeting at the Peeler's: Opening song - "Let the Holy Spirit Guide"
Prayer - James, Sacrament hymn - "God Loved Us So He Sent His Son" sacrament blessed and passed by Pierce, Chuck, and Owen.
Discussion of "Come Follow Me - Mosiah 18-24 - We Entered into a Covenant with Him". I shared my comparison of Limhi's people and Alma's people. Making covenants with the Lord and keeping them saved Alma's people from destruction and misery. It reminds me of a quote by Mary Ellen Edmunds: "In a crisis one can only hope that a covenant-keeper is available."
For refreshment we had red jello with strawberries and bananas and whipped cream. It was light and refreshing! Thank you Donna. It was so nice to have the Crane's with us today. They are hosting next week.
James and I went home to a lunch of chicken enchiladas and a half Burger King green chili mixed burro a piece. Afterwards we both took a nap and then James got up and went to visit Anthony who had requested a visit and a message. They discussed the "Come Follow Me" lesson which Anthony had not studied. James played the Abinadi video for him. Anthony said, "I miss church." Anthony's message to James: "I see UFO's out here all the time."
I stayed home and reviewed the talks for our discussion on personal revelation today. My two favorite talks were the one by Elder Holland and Elder Scott. The ones by Elder Hale and President Packer were good too. I am so glad we are having these discussions. Thank you Kim and Brian for starting this group.
When James returned it was time to FaceTime with Kacey, Jared, and Charlie. Charlie wanted to see my Olaf. I had to tell her that I gave it to my little friend Leland. Charlie was so sad, I guess she is really in to the movie "Frozen" now. I told her I would order another one and have it next week.
At 6 p.m. it was time for our Lambson Study Group skype call.
Kacey led the discussion on personal revelation and shared the personal experience about she and Jared moving to San Antonio and how they felt it was inspired but it did not turn out how they had hoped. This was a great way to start the discussion. Sheri shared a struggle she is having with Dr. Vanover regarding her disrespect for LDS people. We encouraged her to take a stand but she does not want to offend, yet Dr. Vanover is offending her. I think this is a classic example of standing up for what you believe in and it can be done in a non-offensive way. I pray that Sheri will have the strength to do this.
James and I love this time with our family. It is such a good thing to do on the Sabbath. I am so grateful for my children and Kacey and Brian and their testimonies of the gospel.
This evening James wrote a letter to Ben and I worked on my blog.
Afterwards we watched an episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford."
James is not pleased with Dorcas's casual
attitude towards the missing clockworks
package. He blames the post office and she
is defending it. Minnie took the package so
Fisher, the clock maker, would stay longer with Laura.
I watched this yesterday
Looks delicious!

Sunday Charlie

The Crane's son is involved in the
development of this park. Kathy
told us that funding had been delayed
and this is affecting Jeff's family.
They are living on their "reserves."
