Old Testament
Exodus 24-25
24 Israel accepts the word of the Lord by covenant - Moses sprinkles the blood of the covenant - He, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel see God - The Lord calls Moses on to the mount to receive the tables of stone and commandments.
25 Israel is commanded to donate property and build a tabernacle, the ark of testimony (with the mercy seat and cherubims), a table (for the shewbread), and the candlestick, all according to patterns shown to Moses on the mount.
Old Testament Favorite Scriptures
Genesis 8:18-20
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

General Conference
"Three Sisters"
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
" Dear sisters, dear friends, if you find it difficult to hold fast to the iron rod and walk steadfastly toward salvation; if the laughter and ridicule of others who seem so confident cause you to waver; if you are troubled by unanswered questions or doctrines you don't understand yet; if you feel saddened because of disappointments, I urge you to remember Lehi's dream. Stay on the path! Never let go of the rod of iron - the word of God! and when anyone tries to make you ashamed for partaking of the love of God, ignore them."
We were going to get up this morning and go to the Gilbert temple before leaving town, but we were just too tired and we were also anxious to get home. We committed to go on Tuesday. James wants to go because Brother Coltrin told him he was going to have him officiate a session and he wants to make sure he is ready.
We said goodbye to Addy, Rowan, and Lola before we left. Ruby was still sleeping. Lola informed us before we left that she is naming her new unicorn Addy.
We stopped for gas and ice at the Cobblestone on Signal Butte before getting on the freeway. We listened to scriptures from the Book of Mormon and the Old Testament before reading from our book, "The Marshall Takes a Bride." We also read from "Life Everlasting." I am fascinated with the idea that in Paradise I can just pick up a book and know the entire contents of the book. Also, I can just think where I want to be and I will be there. Also floating is a means of transportation.
We stopped at Burger House for the best breakfast burrito which is called Tony's Special and two green chili burros. We shared the breakfast burrito and then each of us had our own green burro.
We were home before noon. After unloading and putting everything away, we started our fast for moisture with a prayer. The rest of the day I blogged, walked, worked on my Primary lesson, and took a nap. I am a little stressed about my Primary lesson on sacrifice because it talks about Cain killing Abel.
I like this quote I read in the Old Testament Student Manual by President Spencer W. Kimball: "The Sabbath day is given throughout the generations of man for a perpetual covenant It is a sign between the Lord and his children forever. It is a day in which to worship and to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Lord. It is a day on which to surrender every worldly interest and to praise the Lord humbly, for humility is the beginning of exaltation."
