Alma 10:17-32
* 1. Become angry and defensive. 2. Doubt the importance of the counsel. 3. Criticize the person who gave the counsel. 4 Question or debate the counsel. 5. Humbly listen and obey.
What are some reasons people might respond to correction in these ways?
* How did the people of Ammonihah respond to Alma and Amulek? (See Alma 9:2-3; Alma 9:4-5; Alma 10:13, 16-17; Alma 10:24; 28-30.
* Why are these responses spiritually dangerous?
DC 84:40-53
33-44, Men gain eternal life through the oath and covenant of the priesthood; 45-53, The Spirit of Christ enlightens men, and the world lies in sin;
What spirit "enlighteneth" every man/woman?
* The Spirit of God which is given to every man/woman. We sometimes call it our conscience.

Certain Women
Linda K. Burton
"When her son was needed to volunteer for the Mormon Battalion, at first Drusilla resisted and wrestled in prayer with Heavenly Father until, "it was as though a voice said to her, 'Do you not want the highest glory?' She answered naturally, 'Yes,' and the voice continued, 'How do you think to gain it save by making the greatest sacrifices?'" We learn from this certain woman that covenant-keeping discipleship requires our willingness to sacrifice."
James hurt his back working outside. He came in and took a couple of aspirin and now he is lying on the floor. I feel so bad for him. There is so much he wants to do around here and it is difficult when you are only one person and you are working with pain and injury.
I read an article in the Ensign this morning while I was ironing James's white shirt for tomorrow. The title: "Face Uncertainty with Faith." It was directed at the young adults. I wish my grandsons would read it. There were several suggestions: 1.) Educate your desires. 2.) Align your desires with His. 3.) Move forward with faith. 3.) Glory in the mystery. 4.) Enhance the opportunity to grow.
Alex started a discussion on Facebook about the children of Israel being fed "rain bread" and wandering in the wilderness for forty years and how the rain bread on a daily basis was impossible. We are fasting to know how to help him and our other grandchildren who are struggling.
We started our fast after lunch which was tuna sandwiches with tomato soup. James and I then watched a Brooke Shields Hallmark movies and mysteries series which turned out to be pretty good considering neither one of us like Brooke Shields very well.
James worked on his trailer and I worked on my blog and my Primary lesson. When the sun went down James came in to work on his Sunday School lesson.
Jared was supposed to have his kids this weekend but the two older ones would not get in the car when he went to pick them up. It might have something to do with the fact that Tricia and Jeremy got a boat and they promised Emmy for her birthday on Sunday that they would take the boat to the lake. It looks like Jared, Kacey, and Molly had a good time anyway.
Jared says that Molly adores Kacey.
I think it is pretty evident that she likes her!
Kacey's last day of school
This was taken last weekend. James and Tanner
fishing at Canyon Lake in Texas.
Their line got snagged so they had to swim out
to untangle it.
Playing the game Speak Out.
I can't decide who looks the best.
Celebrating National Donut Day!
Summer
She is so cute!
I am amazed at how high she is!
Molly loves to climb at the park.
Oh yes!
Her hair is getting so long!
Don't do it Kacey!
Six Flags a few weeks ago.
Tanner has the world on his shoulders, or should
I say head.
Scripture study
Sunset between El Paso and San Antonio.
Trina's weekend in Colorado Springs hiking
Pikes Peak:
I am not sure they were expecting snow!
While the moms were away the kids got to go see
one of the favorite characters from Studio C.
