Jesus Christ, Lamb of God
Helaman 6:5
Yea, and many did preach with exceedingly great power and authority, unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of humility, to be the humble followers of God and the Lamb.

April General Conference
"A Living Witness of the Living Christ"
Bishop Gerald Causse
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is a free gift offered to all who have lived, who currently live, and who will living on the earth. In addition to bearing the burden of our sins, the Christ took upon Himself our sorrows, infirmities, sufferings, and sicknesses and all the afflictions inherent in the mortal condition of man. There is no anguish, no pain or sadness that He did not suffer for us.
James's mom had asked Cathi and Laura to bring back the quilt top she gave me a few years ago for Christmas. She gave them to all of us, Cathi and Laura have one too. She knows a lady that will quilt them and that's what she wants to do this year for our Christmas. The problem is we couldn't find mine. I thought it was downstairs in the years supply/Christmas closet but Cathi could not find it. I looked in my closet and had no luck. I told Cathi to tell Lois I have too many hiding places in my house but I would go through every closet until I found it. Cathi and Terry stayed downstairs and they said it was cool, quiet and nice.
I called James back when they got ready to leave so he could say goodbye. He brought Anthony with him, as Anthony had been helping him work on the fence. We introduced Anthony to everyone before he left for home, his air conditioning and his cat. He loves the fact that he now has air conditioning.
James told me that while he and Anthony were working on the fence they both heard a train whistle. Anthony thought it was a train but James said no, it was probably a truck with a train whistle. Anthony convinced James it was a train because they could hear clicking as it was going over the train tracks. It was a quiet morning with no wind. They have a pretty straight sixty mile shot to Holbrook so, who knows, maybe they did hear a train. They both would swear that they did.
We said our goodbyes to Dave, Laura, Cathi, and Terry. We really enjoyed their visit and hope they will come back soon.
Good looking group
Laura had told me if I wanted to know more about the Laurie Vallow, Chad Daybell case I should listen to the interview Laurie's best friend Melanie Gibb gave. I asked her if it was on YouTube and she said yes, she thought it was. I watched it. It was about an hour and forty five minutes long. I now know more about the case. It is a sad one and I feel sorry for Laurie who was duped by Chad and his belief system. Melanie ended up saying that it was of the adversary.
I did two blogposts today and got my next shipment of books ready to ship. I also walked 13,797 steps and caught up on my Book of Mormon study guide. I listened to a BYU Speech by Lynn G. Robins about being 100% Responsible which was excellent.
Karen Schneider texted me and said she got the book "Grace Where You Are" that I sent her for her birthday. I was going to wait and give it to her at our next birthday luncheon, but after Governor Ducey's press conference yesterday, who knows when that will be.
Restaurants can only operate at 50% guest capacity and the governor is encouraging everyone to stay home as much as possible. He said, our grandfathers stormed the beaches at Normandy to stop the Nazi's. All I'm asking you to do is stay home and watch Netflix. I wonder if he has stock in Netflix.
This evening after dinner and riding Luna James wanted to watch a movie. I asked him if he would watch "Teaching with Power" with me instead and he said yes. He even sat next to me! At the end the next YouTube video to come up was by a man named Wayne May, and was titled: "Book of Mormon Geography in North America."
James was interested but we turned it off early because it was 10:00 and we wanted to go to bed.
Can you see how clean my kitchen
window is after James washed it for me!
These two love each other!
Charlie Mae, I love you!
