Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Book of Mormon
1 Nephi 9:1-10:10
*Have you ever felt lie you were doing something the Lord asked you to do "for a wise purpose in Him, which purpose you knew not"?
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Luke 1:5-25, 57-80 God's blessings come in His own time.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland promised, "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come."
General Conference
All Must Take Upon Them the Name Give of the Father
Elder Paul B. Pieper
"Another meaning of the word take is to accept a person in a particular role or embrace the truthfulness of an idea or principle. When we take upon us the name of Christ, we accept Him as our Savior and continually embrace His teachings as the guide for our lives. In every meaningful decision we make, we can take His gospel to be true and obediently live it with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength."
Today would have been my grandpa Strickland's 130th birthday. Happy Birthday grandpa Al.
I read two articles from the Ensign, "Symbols in the New Testament," and "Phan Phon-Phnom Penk, Cambodia.
For lunch I had some of the leftover macaroni and cheese that Sheri made when she was here. It's actually Kim's recipe and uses several different kinds of cheeses, bread crumbs and bacon. He boys love it and so do I.
James fell asleep by the fire. His back and hip are hurting. He has no Lyrica unless he wants to spend $406.00.
Cathi's daughter Wendy posted on Facebook today that she does not have to have chemo therapy. That is such great news!
I am finding out that the Amazon fulfillment fees are higher that I thought. I had to go through all of our books and re-price them. I accidentally deleted two books and because they have already shipped I don't know how to get them back into inventory with the right SKU's. Our last shipment of books is still inactive and I am concerned about that too. Running a business is stressful!
James met Anthony at the post office today and took him some of the elk roast and vegetables that he cooked all night in the crockpot. Brian brought the roast up when he came. I made some biscuits to go with it and Anthony said it was one of the most delicious meals he has had in a long time.
James bought more textbooks today because this is "textbook" season.
We finished watching "Becoming Jane" this evening. It was a little sad that someone who writes about relationships never got married. It made me want to go back and read all of Jane Austen's books again.
I will never be great or successful if I can't focus and if I lack self-control. I'm 70 years old and I'm running out of time.
She's practicing her pucker.
Someone's got to change the lightbulbs.
It's either a crippled man or an arthritic old

Do you think zoodles are zucchini?
