Jesus Christ betrayal of
John 13:21
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Book of Mormon
Mosiah 19:25-20:11
* Why did the Lord let Limhi's people end up in bondage?
- sue_heugly: There are two kinds of bondage: The self-inflicted kind from poor choices and iniquity, and the kind that comes from the consequences and choices of others. Limhi's people chose sin, which is to serve Satan. Abinadi warned and prophesied that the people would be brought into bondage because they hardened their hearts against Abinadi's words and wouldn't repent. The dues of discipleship do not come cheap. If we want blessings and freedom from bondage, we must be loyal to God, obey his prophets, keep the commandments and remain humble, submitting our will to His. A blessing always carries with it a responsibility, and a consequence. 
Old Testament
1 Samuel 4
The Israelites are smitten and defeated by the Philistines, who also capture the ark of God - Eli's sons are slain, Eli dies in an accident, and his daughter-in-law dies in childbirth.

I am a little sad I finished this book today because I have really enjoyed it. Next I am going to listen to Elder and Sister Renlund's book, The Melchizedek Priesthood.

At 8 a.m. I left for town, about 20 minutes behind James. We are taking the truck and Lexy in to get new tires. James has to pay for his, I don't have to pay for mine. It's to replace the used one they put on a few days ago when I got a flat coming home from the Morrison's.

 They got our tires on in less than 30 minutes. We took a short walk and it was time to go. Next stop, Walmart, to get the oil changed in Lexy. James made the arrangements and then left. I walked down to the mailbox and mailed the note I wrote to President Shumway.
Now it's time to go in and do my weekly shopping.

I took my time shopping, calculating all my expenses. I checked out and then went to see if my car was ready. I sat in the little waiting room and watched some of Harry Potter. I could see the hood still up on Lexy so I took a spin around the store. This trip is going to be more costly than it seems because I found things to put on my wish list: Grabbit Stick, Black memory foam shoes, "Oh The Places You'll Go" Dr. Seuss book, "Coco,"the movie, and "Coco book and playset. "Star Wars 5 Minute Stories." I actually went home and used my Amazon gift card to by two of the books and the movie. I also bought the movie, "Wonder" because Stacy said it was so good. 
Two more things on my wishlist, cute photo album papers, and some new Ginger scissors.

Finally after a few more trips around the store and the passing of two hours, Lexy was finished. I paid the girl, got my report, and loaded up Lexy for home.

I got home and put everything away and sat down in my recliner wondering where James was. He came in a few minutes later with Brother Howard's Cat skidsteer on his trailer. I was watching a Hallmark movie and he sat down and finished watching it with me. 

For dinner we had cooked cabbage. For F.H.E. we listened to President Nelson's conference talk from October 1999, "A Testimony of the Book of Mormon."

James took me outside to show me how to feed the bunnies. There was a full moon behind clouds that looked rather eerie.

These two are pretty amazing.

Happy 26th Birthday Adam!
My favorite picture of Adam

Happy 19th Birthday Joe!

James left for the valley around 5:30 this morning.  He has a doctor's appointment with his cardiologist, Dr. Memon, at 9:45 in Chandler.  I stayed home in an effort to get some more rest and get well.  It seems like I should be getting better by now.

Dr. Memon told James everything looked good with his heart.  He also mentioned that the plans are almost ready for his 18,000 sq. ft. building he wants James to build.  He says he needs to retire because the government is making it harder and harder for him.  James checked online.  Dr. Memon made around $967,000 last year.  

James also went to Erik's about his truck.  On the way home this afternoon he lost his muffler pipe.  He also went to Glendale to check out the job site for the job he is bidding right now, and then he came home, with a stop at Burger House.  He was home by 4 this afternoon.  He was gone about 10 1/2 hours.  

Chuck Crane found a knife in the road and called James to ask if it was his.  It wasn't but James had seen the knife too and just never stopped to pick it up.  Chuck said it was a really nice $500 knife

Kim posted this picture on Facebook this evening.  She took these boys to dinner at Red Lobster to celebrate Joe and Adam's birthdays.
Nice looking bunch.

James and I watched an Amish movie on the Up channel called, "Charmed."  We both love the Amish culture and their values!
