Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship

Mormon 5:14

And behold, they shall go unto the unbelieving of the Jews; and for this intent shall they go - that they may be persuaded that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God; that the Father may bring about, through his most Beloved, his great and eternal purpose, in restoring the Jews, or all the house of Israel, to the land of their inheritance, which the Lord their God hath given them, unto the fulfilling of his covenant;

"Wilt Thou Be Made Whole"

Matthew L. Carpenter

"Our spiritual healing requires us to submit ourselves to the conditions our Savior has outlined. We must not delay. We must act today. Act now so that spiritual paralysis does not prevent your eternal progression. While I have been speaking, if you have felt the need to ask forgiveness of someone you have wronged, I invite you to act. Tell them what you have done. Ask for their forgiveness. If you have committed a sin that impacts your temple worthiness, I invite you to counsel with your bishop - today. Do not delay."

I watched a Book Profits help session today on setting price alerts and filters. I think I understand a little better now what I am doing.

I also watched Peter Valley's video but he talks way too fast and I wasn't impressed. I did some repricing, sourcing, and setting alerts.

Two young men from Chandler got their mission calls. Ian Wanlass and Adam Ray.

Ian:

Ian is one of Ben's best friends. He will be moving to Utah before he leaves for his mission.

Adam:

Brennan's oldest and one of the star basketball and volleyball

players at Chandler High School.

I took my friend Catherine to a doctor's appointment in Lakeside this morning. She saw a Curtis Birdno so I told her about when I grew up in Show Low and the Primary President was D'Rae Birdno. I'm wondering if they are related.

I came home, had some lunch, a cheese crisp with some raw veggies, laid down to rest, and then did some walking.

I had an interesting experience while waiting for Catherine today. I decided I was going to check and see if the Church had changed the name of their website. I typed in thechurchofjesuschrist.org and when the site came up I thought, wow! this has really changed. I was a little concerned when they talked about deaconnesses and the name of the women's organization was the General Ladies Uplift Circle and the youth organization was The General Missionary Benevolent Association. I showed Catherine and she said, "Oh that's the Disciple of Christ's Church that I used to belong to."
I went to lds.org and was so relieved when I saw a picture of Sister Nelson and Sister Oaks. I wonder what the new name of the website will be?

I came home and walked and blogged and made bunny tail cookies to take to the Grapp's. Here is what they looked like:

I am sad to say that James and I ended up eating these. Yes, he came home late this afternoon. I wasn't sure the Grapp kids would like them so I made some blueberry muffins to take to them.

Liana and Benson each had four, Tildy and Emsley each got one, and they saved two, one for their mom and one for their dad.

I really do like going to the Grapp home and visiting with Cammy and her kids. Today Benson had to show me that he got bunkbeds so when baby Leland is older he can sleep in his room. He showed me the baskets under his bed with all of his matchbox cars and other toys all organized.

Cammy showed me that Thomas had built her a closet in her bedroom. She has lived there several years without a closet. Can you imagine? He made her the most wonderful bed frame. I have to go back and take a picture. It is made out of meta and has quotes and scriptures inscribed all over it depicting the reasons that Thomas loves Cammy. They really are the sweetest couple.

I told Cammy about our book business and she said that Thomas has lots of textbooks from when he went to college. I told her I would bring my scanner over and we would find out if they would sell for anything on Amazon. Cammy needed a babysitter on Saturday but I told her we were working in the temple that day but I would love to babysit for her another time. Looks like April 12th will work for me.

This picture was taken in February 2018 when they were announcing the birth of baby Leland. He was born the end of July.

James and I stayed up rather late. We bought 11 books online. Doesn't sound like much but it takes awhile to analyze them and make sure they are a good buy.
