Daniel 9:26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a food, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Book of Mormon #1
3 Nephi 12:1-24
*How do you make sure you aren't putting your light under a bushel?
- The Savior's transcendant message in the Sermon on the Mount is of burning-bush importance to all of us. 'But seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish His righteousness' (JST, Matt. 6:38). This message needs to penetrate into our hearts and souls. As we accept this message, we are taking our personal stand in this life." (Ensign, May 2004, 67 - President James E. Faust)

"In the crucible of earthly trials, patiently move forward, and the Savior's healing power will bring you light, understanding, peace, and hope."
James went out early this morning scouting for deer. Sheri and I woke Kim up texting about "Dancing with the Stars." Oops...
I picked my friend Catherine up at 9 am. and we headed for the Snowflake temple. My car wheel wells are filled with mud. While I was waiting for Catherine I found a stick and tried to dig some of it out but I wasn't very successful.
It was beautiful and sunny when we left Vernon but halfway to Show Low it became very foggy as if we were in a cloud and pretty much stayed that was until we got to Snowflake.
We made it in time for the 10:30 session. It was as full as it can get with 54 patrons. The Gilbert temple is still closed and we met a sister from Gilbert. I wonder how many more were from the valley.
They showed my favorite film so I was happy.
One the way home we stopped at Sonic. Catherine got a hotdog and tater tots and a diet cherry limeade. I got a corn dog, fries, and a small cherry limeade. Catherine shared that Sonic originated in Oklahoma where she is from. She talked about her childhood and being raised by her grandmother. She loves to talk and I love to listen.
Catherine told me some sad news just before we went in to our session. She said that Elder Allen, who just left for his mission in the Philippines in September is back home. He was diagnosed with ADHD. I wondered why he was posting pictures taken in Arizona on Instagram. She doesn't know what his plans are but both of us are concerned for him and his family. I couldn't stop thinking about him during the session.
I had a message on my phone that Jared Ammon broke his foot in three places. He had to have surgery and have plates put in. He is staying at his girlfriend's house. Poor guy.
I finally got an email from Ben. He had his P-day on Wednesday so he could go to the temple but he can only go four times on his mission so next week and from now on his P-day will be back on Mondays.
I am tired because lately I have been eating junk. I need to get back on a better diet or eating program. James came home hungry and I made him a couple of chicken quesadillas which he loved. I had a cheese crisp and a cinnamon sugar tortilla. (See what I mean about lousy eating.)
James went out to site in his gun for his hunt. I forgot and went outside on the deck to walk when I heard a loud BANG which scared me back inside.
James went into town this evening to pick up supplies for Howard's job while I stayed home and worked on our book business.
We are both very tired when he returns so we go to bed a little earlier than normal.
And there she goes!
I'm not very good at selfies.
Such a handsome group!
One happy baby except when you put
her in her car seat and in the car.
