"In addition to your example of growing in faith, your praying as a family can play a crucial part in making home a sacred place. One person is usually chosen as voice to pray for the family. When the prayer is clearly to God in behalf of the people kneeling and listening, faith grows in all of them. They can feel expressions of love for Heavenly Father and for the Savior. And when the person who prays mentions those who are kneeling in that circle who are in need, all can feel love for them and for each member of the family."
This morning my Meridian Magazine had an article entitled: "When Pancho Villa Appeared Asking for Temple Work."
Just like the article yesterday about the Madison's, I read this one to James. We really enjoyed it. I would encourage all of my children to read it to our grandchildren. I already asked Sheri to read it to Max and Evan.
I listened to the book arbitrage webinar this morning. Luke and John were the featured speakers. They are the owners of the company. They talked about textbook season and prizes for those who sell the most books both in the newbie category and the veteran category. I don't consider myself belonging to either of these groups. I am more of an intermediate. I have not intention of buying truckloads of books to up my inventory. Most of the big sellers probably have around 10,000 books and they are in the six and seven figure club. I will be happy if I can make a couple of thousand dollars a month doing the business. I actually love it but I would love it even more if I could make some money!
James took birthday cards to the post office today for Molly, Rowan and Joshua. Molly will be ten on the 8th and Rowan and Joshua will both be 13. I can't believe they are teenagers! They all had new addresses this year.
Today after lunch during our rest time we watched an episode of Jane Doe starring Lea Thompson. This is from a few years ago so some of the things are outdated like the cell phones. Jane Doe is an undercover agent for the Central Security Agency. She is an expert puzzle solver and always solves the case.
I got to Facetime with Jared, Kacey, and Charlie today. Charlie likes to blow kisses and she did patty cake with me. I loved it and I am so grateful that Jared asks me to do this from time to time. She is growing up so fast!
I spent the evening putting books into my Amazon inventory to get them ready to ship tomorrow. I have about 13 books to send in.
James spent the evening helping Greg Anderson and Michele Tesarek on Family Search.
We got some bad new regarding Randy this evening via Facebook.
Throwback to dance recitals in June
