Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
Luke 23:23
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voice of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
Book of Mormon
Alma 62:19-33
*Has the Lord ever relieved you from a great burden? How did it feel to no longer carry that weight?
-Some burdens are relived just by being over. But some become strengths to us. Some burdens aren't lifted quickly but the Lord is mindful of us and know what we need to carry them longer.
Old Testament
Proverbs 11-14
General Conference
Meek and Lowly of Heart
Elder David A. Bednar
"Meekness is an attribute developed through desire, the righteous exercise of moral agency, and striving always to retain a remission of our sins. It also is a spiritual gift for which we appropriately can seek. We should remember, however, the purposes for which such a blessing is given, even to benefit and serve the children of God."
We had a bit of a scare thinking Ruby had pink eye but it looks like she doesn't. Lola wouldn't touch Darrel's birthday balloons because Ruby touched them with her pinkeye.
Trina and Lola left taking Ruby and Rowan to school and then going on to the gym. After the gym Lola had preschool. She cried about going but once she gets there she likes it.
James and I were home alone a few hours. It was relaxing and I was able to do some catch up on my blog. James left around 11:30 to drop Tramadol by to Stacy and pick up our ice chest and then on to a meeting with Bill Valentic and then Armando Perez.
He spoke with Bill Valentic about getting paid for the Phoenician job and what the legal ramifications are. He ended up borrowing some money from him to pay off White Cap and Desert Ready Mix.
James enjoyed his visit with Armando. He has five children that he adores. He lost his license for a year and James made him an offer about using his license.
Because Carmen Chavez and Tom Howard paid us some money I was able to pay the Verizon bill and James's line of credit.
When James returned we headed out. First we were going to go to Red Lobster to eat but I forgot the gift cards, leaving them at Darrel and Trina's in my other purse. We got quarter pounders at McDonald's instead and then did some shopping at Hobby Lobby and then on to Costco for the Grapp's.
It was fun shopping for the Grapp's, I sent James in one direction while I went in another. When we were finished we headed back to Darrel and Trina's.
The kids wanted to make more cards which we did. It was fun.
Trina is training for a sprint triatholon. She will run, ride a bike, and swim. The event is on September 29th.
We went with Trina to pick up Rowan at the bus stop. So did Ruby. She showed us the lot for their new house. Across the street the house being built is just like theirs so we took a tour.
Each of the kids will have their own rooms
and Trina says they are putting a bed in the
den for us.
Trina made pancakes for dinner. They were yummy.
Mom is great she makes us chocolate cake!
While I was at the kitchen table working on my blog, Rowan layed down on the couch. He kept talking to his Google Play. Google, play "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Carry On," "Top of the World," and "Freesion."
Addy is so disciplined. She comes home from cross country, does her homework, showers, and then goes to bed because she has to get up at 5:30 and do it all over again tomorrow.
