Jesus Christ, Condescension of
Mosiah 14:1-3
1 Yea, even doth not Isaiah say: Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground, he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Book of Mormon
Alma 22:1-14
* Why did Aaron begin teaching by establishing the king's belief in God?
- Aaron began by establishing a belief in God because that's where the king was in his understanding. That is how God teaches, by coming to the place where we are and leading us to where He is.
Old Testament
1 Chronicles 11-12
11 David is anointed king in Hebron - He takes Zion, the City of David - His valiant warriors are named and their deeds recounted.
General Conference
"Be With and Strengthen Them"
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"We will continue to visit homes as possible, but local circumstances such as large numbers, long distances, personal safety, and other challenging conditions may preclude a visit to every home every month. As the First Presidency counseled years ago, do the best you can. In addition to whatever schedule you establish for actual visits, that calendar can be supplemented with telephone calls, written notes, texts, emails, video chats, conversations at Church meetings, shared service projects, social activities, and a host of possibilities in the world of social media. However, I should stress that this expansive new view does not include the sorry statement I recently saw on an automobile bumper sticker. It read, 'If I honk, you've been home taught.' Please, please, brethren (the sisters would never be guilty of that - I speak to the brethren of the Church), with these adjustments we want more care and concern, not less."

James left for the valley this morning after family prayer. He is meeting someone about work on a golf course in Phoenix.
We are fasting for Jared today. He was in mediation all day but nothing came of it. Tricia will not bend. She won't even bring the kids half way to Tyler so he can see them once a month. She is suing him for $30,000 and was heard screaming during part of her session. Next is go to court. This session today cost Jared thousands of dollars. I am sure he wishes he had never signed that first agreement regarding alimony.
I tried to keep busy today. I paid bills, cleaned the family and living room, and work on stripping the polish off the floor. While I was sitting at my computer in the bedroom this afternoon around 4 o'clock, James tried to sneak up on me, but I heard him. When I saw him I yelled. I really didn't think he would be home that early.
For FHE we listened to Elder Holland's conference address, "Be with and Strengthen Them." James didn't get to walk much today because of all the driving so he walked while I planned.
