Washington D.C.

16th operating temple

Dedicated: 19-22 Nov 1974

By: Spencer W. Kimball

Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship

1 John 4:10

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Book of Mormon

Alma 1:1-14

New Testament "Come Follow Me"

Luke 18:1-14 The unjust judge and the importune widow

General Conference

The Power of Sustaining Faith

President Henry B. Eyring

"The fact that you are in mortality now assures us that you sustained the Father and the Savior. It took faith in Jesus Christ to sustain the plan of happiness and Jesus Christ's place in it when you knew so little of the challenges that you would face in mortality."

My reading in the Book of Mormon today took me to the meeting of Gideon and Nehor where Nehor slays Gideon for his beliefs. Would I be so bold as Gideon to stand up for what I believe in knowing that I would die for it?

I was especially touched in my reading of the New Testament today with uke 18:13 ...God be merciful to me, a sinner.

Sorry to see two of the great ones leave this life, Doris Day and Tim Conway. We can still enjoy seeing them on screen though. I love Tim Conway in the Hallmark movie he made, "Surprised by Love" with two of my favorites, Hilarie Burton and Paul Campbell.

I own many Doris Day movies and love to watch them. Back in the 60's she was my favorite movie star.

I reordered the book we sold today because we made over $15.

I stretched the truth today to protect myself. Do I feel guilty? A little but sometimes a girl has to look out for herself or she is no good to anyone else. No further details are forthcoming.

I listened to the Book Profits webinar this morning with four of the six figure earners, Barry, Herman, Jim, and Kris. They are good but I'm not sure I will ever devote as much time and energy to book buying as they do.

James is going to be home this evening and I am so excited to see him. He's been gone since early Monday morning. 

I made one of my dot journals my food journal.

Plain on the outside, fancy on the inside.

I watched a couple of older Kellie Martin movies on Hallmark today and loved them both. "I Married Who?" and "So You Said Yes."

 Tired

 Free textbooks!

 I love a beautiful sunset, expecially when

it includes clouds!

 I miss Abigail!

 I didn't like what I saw today from my bedroom deck,

but James assured me the fence they are building will

benefit us. I just like my privacy.

Paul's sister Tara who lives in Whales. Her husband

works on the set of "Dr. Who."

 Happy Birthday Bishop Hall!

 I miss Yannick Bisson and the part he played on

Aurora Teagarden.

When I got up this morning I see all four of Sheri's boys asleep on the couches.  Ben, Max, and Evan were in the family room and Alex in the living room.  All of the adults slept in.

I love the sunflowers!

 

James and I take the Razr and go into town to mail my prescription payment to Humana.  Evan comes with us.  It's a beautiful morning for a ride.  We see Sheri on her morning run on the way back.

When Sheri returned home, and after her shower, we went into town to get a few groceries.  We invited Kim to go with us but she said she would be going with Brian a little later.  After doing our shopping at Walmart I tried to order some green burros from LaCasita, bt could never get through.  Sheri stopped at Little Caeser's to get some pizza.  I got some wings for James and I.  We saw Bishop Hall and Lane.  I congratuledted bishop on being the Dad of a soon to be missionary.  Kendall got his mission call to Salta, Argentina.

James enjoyed the wings for lunch.  I didn't think they were that great.

Sheri took this picture today.  A walker standing outside by itself is never a good sign.  He must be on the Razr.

 

Kim tells us about how the teacher she has been teaching with quit because she was being harrassed by the curriculum director and the owner of Bright Beginnings.  Even though she had some issues Kim says she was a nice person and the kids loved her.  The acting principal of the school, Jennifer Jackman, is going to fill in until they find someone to hire.

James, Kim and I took a ride to see the falls near Buckelew Springs.  Sheri was sleeping upstairs so she missed the fun.

About 3 miles from our house

Brian fixed hamburgers for dinner and Sheri and I fixed pancakes and ham.  Ben was disappointed because they weren't my homemade pancakes.  I told him that the next time he came up I would fix them for him.  

After dinner we played Five Crowns and after Kim went to bed Sheri, James, and I watched Cedar Cove.

Dark skies and green go together.

We attended the Vernon ward today and then had a meeting with Bishop Ron Hall in the afternoon.  He seems like such a nice guy.  I am a little nervous about attending a new ward.  This is the first time that I've moved in over 40 years. 
Even though it wasn't fast Sunday James and I fasted for family members.  We may fast every Sunday. 
We finished our Victoria Holt book "Snare of Serpents" and then I made an apple cobbler.  It was delicious.  We were a little sad to come back to Chandler just because it was so beautiful this afternoon.  The clouds were beautiful and it looked like it was going to rain.
