General Conference
By Divine Design
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
" When we are righteous, willing, and able, when we are striving to be worthy and qualified, we progress to places we never imagined and become part of Heavenly Father's 'divine design.' Each of us has divinity within us. When we see God working through us and with us, may we be encouraged, even grateful for that guidance. When our Father in Heaven said, 'This is my work and my glory - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man, He was talking about all of His children - you in particular."
The Heart of the Widow
Elder O. Vincent Haleck
" My prayer for each of us is a plea to have the heart to bear our burdens, make necessary sacrifices, and have the will to do and to give."
We had five elk bedded down by our fence outside the bedroom window this morning. Soon they were up and walking around with several of their friends. Everyone was asleep. Darrel was the first up, besides James and I and he caught a glimpse of them. Addy told me that next time I should wake her up!
Darrel and Trina and the kids clean and leave by 9 a.m. because Darrel has to go to work.
Not sure why Darrel looks so worried.
Before leaving James played a match game with Ruby and Lola. Does he not know that Ruby is the queen of the match game?
Lola is actually pretty good at this game too.
James said they were pretty even until Ruby
went on a run and took all the cards that
were left on the table.
Goodbye one more time!
They were home before one and I got a text saying that Lola had taken a remote and the toy phone. The remote is to an old DVD played that we don't use, thank goodness. I told her she could keep them if she would let me play with them when I come down. She agreed.
I watched part of a new Hallmark movie, scrapped polish off the floor, walked, and caught up on my gospel study today.
We went to the post office and picked up two packages. When we got home I realized there should have been one more package and so James went back and sure enough Debbie said to him when he walked in: "You forgot a package." All of the packages were books that I had ordered.
I was especially excited to receive the book, "A Reason for Faith."
Sister Hales got the idea for this book because she couldn't answer all the questions her kids asked about the Church, so she consulted the experts.
James and I watched "Heartland" this evening.
Look how much they've changed!
We saw "Cinderella" together.
Look at the price of the ticket.
Unbelieveable!
Interesting
