Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
Acts 9:20
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 26:12-30
How do you recognize the subtle flaxen cords around your neck before they become too strong?
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Matthew 8:18-27; Mark 3:31-55; 4:35-41
"Spiritual Healing:," James E. Faust, 4/1992
General Conference
Truth and the Plan
President Dallin H. Oaks
"Our loving Heavenly father wants His Children to have the joy that is the purpose of our creation. That joyful dstiny is eternal life, which we can obtain by pressing forward along what our prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, often calls 'the covenant path.' Here is what he said in his first message as President of the Church: 'Keep on the covenant path. Your commitment to follow the Savior by making covenants with Him and then keeping those covenants will open the door to every spiritual blessing and privilege available to men, women, and children everywhere.'"
Jesus performed more miracles in Capernaum, the Savior's own city, than anywhere else. Jesus used the title "Son of Man" 80 times in reference to himself.
We left a little after 9 for the valley this morning. We stopped at Walmart in Show Low to pick up the shakes James left in our cart on Monday. I go for a little walk and get a drink at McDonald's while James is getting the shakes
On our way we stop at the McDonald's in Globe so I can use the little girl's room. This is what we saw in the parking lot.
So many motorcycles on the road. I said to James that a lot of
people in Globe love to ride and he said I will bet most of them are from out of state. Sure enough, I started checking, Ontario, Canada, New York, Minnesota. I guess that's one of the reasons people like to come here in the winter.
We met Sheri and Kimmy for lunch at the Cafe Rio in Chandler. Stacy couldn't come because she had a doctor's appointment. James ate lunch and then left for his doctor's appointment at the Southwest Sonoran Spine center in Tempe.
After lunch I saw a set of missionaries go in to Mechie's frozen yogurt next door. Sheri said they were the missionaries from their ward and she had just fed them the other night. She went in and paid for their yogurt. While she was doing that I tried the mango and lemon yogurt mix. It was delicious!
Kim and I dropped Sheri off at work and then went to park on Washington St. by the high school to wait for Max to get out of school. There was a house for sale and I thought it would be perfect for James and I when we come down to stay. Too bad we don't have any money.
This is the next door neighbors yard.
On the way to take Max home Kim tells a funny story about when she and Brian were in Nebraska for his grandma's funeral. They were out in the middle of nowhere when the neighbor lady came out and rang a bell. Kim said hundreds of cats came running and she doesn't know where they came from. She looked at Brian and said, "What just happened"? Anyway, it was funny when she told it. I guess you had to have been there.
While I a waiting for James to pick me up from Kim's I scanned a few of her books. She has some nice art books but she doesn't want to sell them.
After James arrives and picks me up we drive to Scottsdale to Shea Honor hospital to see if our friend Donna from Vernon is out of surgery. She is not but we visit with her husband Owen and our neighbor and Owen's good friend Chuck. We stayed over an hour waiting for her but then we had to get back to Darrel and Trina's to keep an eye on Ruby and Lola. Addy, Rowan and Trina are all going to Mutual and of course Darrel is at work. Trina was just called as the Young Women's president. When they moved from their old ward she was the Primary president. You just can't get away from the fact that you are pretty awesome Trina.
We took Ruby and Lola to Peter Piper Pizza. They had already eaten dinner and weren't hungry for pizza so we ordered a cinnamon dessert pizza and played some games.
I guess Max is pretty upset that we aren't leaving for the cabin tomorrow night. We promised Owen we would come back tomorrow and see Donna and we won't be able to go until evening because we are babysitting and picking up kids for Darrel and Trina tomorrow. Darrel was supposed to have the kids but one of the guys he works with needed to switch with him. Darrel says this guy always accommodates him so he wanted to do this for him, hence I said I would babysit.

Susan is a friend from Chandler. James used to
do repair work for her at her house all the time.
Her daughter Christine was married to Cody Birch.
Our dear friends the Tolman's and their grandchildren.
Lola lookin' good in a blue sports car.
Darrel & Trina's rental house. A few more
weeks and they will be gone from this house.
I brought each of the kids a surprise egg.
The frog is Lola's and the bunny is Ruby's.
Rowan got Star Wars and we aren't sure what
Addy's was.
Love this face!
She's waving!
