General Conference
The Sacrament Can Help Us Become Holy
Elder Peter F. Meurs
Elder David A. Bednar taught:
''The ordinance of the sacrament is a holy and repeated invitation to repent sincerely and to be renewed spiritually. The act of partaking of the sacrament, in and of itself, does not remit sins. But as we prepare conscientiously and participate in this holy ordinance with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then the promise is that we may always have the Spirit of the Lord to be with us. And by the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost as our constant companion, we can always retain a remission of our sins."
James tried flying his drone today and ended up crashing it into the house. He was quite frustrated and said he could only fly it about 100 feet when it is supposed to go a mile. He spoke to David and David told him he had it in beginners mode.
The guy in control. Or is he?
Here it comes!
James is leaving for the valley today. When he got ready to leave I followed him in to town and we had lunch at Licano's. James ordered a turkey and avocado sandwich that was heavy on the turkey with very little avocado. He didn't eat much so I gave him my taco. I had a chicken enchilada and some refried beans and rice. I couldn't even eat all of it. I was going to take the taco home but I donated it to a worthy cause.
A group of old guys came in the restaurant while we were eating and I made the comment: "It looks like the motorcycle gang is here." When we went outside we saw this:
I was right!
After lunch and saying goodbye to James I went to Walmart to pick up my folic acid and then went home.
The first thing I did when I got home was watch the premier of Dancing with the Stars. I am happy for Emma and Sasha. Emma's partner is Rashad Jennings, an NFL player who is really good. Sasha has Simone Biles, the most decorated Olympic gymnast ever. Sasha and Simone got the most points, 32, and Emma and Rashad got 31. I am not sure why I am watching Charo, Mr. T, and Chris Kattan try to dance.
When James is gone I have a tendency to keep the TV on for company. It isn't a complete waste of time because I work on my blog as I am watching television. I watched the new Aurora Teagarten mystery and I also watched "Birthday Wishes" and "I Married Who"? I have seen both of these last movies before.
I miss James.
