Jesus Christ, Creator
DC 29:31
For by the power of my Spirit created I them; yea, all things both spiritual and temporal -
Book of Mormon
Moroni 48:1-18
*What can we learn from Moroni's character?
- Trust in the Lord and live up to our divine potential. Pray as if every thing depended on the Lord. Work as if every thing depended on you.
Old Testament
Job 35-37
35 Elihu contrasts the weakness of man and the power of God - Our wickedness hurts other men, and our righteousness helps them - Man should trust in the Lord.
36 Elihu says, Those who are righteous are prospered - The wicked perish and die without knowledge - Elihu praises the greatness of God.
37 Elihu concludes, saying, The Lord controls the laws of nature - God reigns in terrible majesty.

Teaching in the Home:A Joyful and Sacred Responsibility

" Family scripture study is an ideal forum for teaching doctrine in the home. President Russell M. Nelson said, 'Not only are parents to cling to the word of the Lord, but they have a divine mandate to teach it to their children.'"
Happy 12th Birthday Rowan!
I've never seen Rowan drink a soda. That must be
one of his dad's. When this sweet boy was asked what he
wanted for his birthday he said: "I'm getting the priesthood, I don't need anything else." You will not find a better brother, son, grandson, or friend that this young man. He is incredible!
Marvin J. Ashton, a former member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and one of my favorites, said this:
Tragedy and frustration are the unexpected intruder's on life's plans."
The question we as a Relief Society presidency are considering today is whether our next council meeting in September should be about dealing with depression and suicide prevention. I am praying for an answer.
Today I made hamburger soup for lunch and for the weekend. Luckily James loved it. He said he was pleasantly surprised when he got here at lunch time.
I also made rolls for the temple tomorrow and chocolate chip cookies for Brother Moore's baptism. It was a day spent in the kitchen.
James worked at the Howard's most of the day trying to get their bunkhouse finished and ready for their open house on the 25th.
I read from Dragonwatch, The Way of Kings, The Secret Keeper, Loving Lieutenant Lancaster, and Life Everlasting, the last two with James.
It was a hazy day. I read that the California fires and causing smoke throughout the United States clear to New York.
We started having some thunder around 4:15 pm. It rained a while but in Tempe they had what they are calling a 100 year storm, if you can believe the media. They got 3.5 inches of rain in less than an hour according to my friend Karen.

Love the cone shaped roof
If I got these for the yard I wonder if James
would try to feed them.
Whiteriver gets the most!
