5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

"Deceive Me Not"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Oct 2019
"These are stories of mistaken identity - presuming the real thing to be something else. In each case, the consequences were minor.
However, many today grapple with these same issues on a much larger scale. They are either unable to see things as they truly are or are unsatisfied with truth. Moreover, there are forces at play today designed to deliberately lead us away from absolute truth. These deceptions and lies go far beyond innocent mistaken identity and often have dire, not miner, consequences."
When Darrel called to wish James a happy birthday, he also told him that Peter Ray had been called as a bishop in his ward. I texted Sheri and told her because she is one of Peter's patients. She said, "He will make a great bishop." Jared said the same thing.
I cleaned our bedroom and bathroom today. No matter how many times I clean James's mirror, it always has water drops on it. I think it happens when he combs his hair and he doesn't even know it.
I paid the propane bill of $1,500 today. James ordered from Owens because they were the cheapest, but they don't take credit cards so I had to write a check. Ouch to my bank account.
Around 10:00 this morning I left for town. I have a lunch appointment with Pam Giles and her friend Jen at the Aliberto's in Wagon Wheel. My first stop was at the post office where I picked up a couple of books I ordered. I wanted to go to the carwash before lunch but there was no time. Had I known Pam and Jen were going to be a little late, I would have gone to the carwash.
I ordered the Arizona burro even though I didn't see it on the menu. Jen and Pam were both ordering one too and they convinced me that it is delicious. Steak with potatoes, chesse and pico de gallo.
They were right, it is delicious!
I have always liked Jen and been impressed with her gentle spirit. Now I even love her more. She has her brother and his family, which includes triplet girls and a toddler, and her mother-in-law living with her. Pam was telling about Jen's boss, Pam's former boss, who she considers mean and she has a mean gang of girls that hang out with her. Pam tries to avoid them. Jen just walks past them and greets them with a "hello".
I enjoyed my visit with these two friends and look forward to our next lunch date!
I went to Walmart to get James bigger shirts. The ones I got him for his birthday were too small. I got three instead of two. They did not have the black and red checked one in his size. Boohoo!
James told me that today was Tanna's birthday so I got her a small cake and a birthday balloon to go with the card we signed for her.
I'm going to wait to take it to her until James can go too.
On the way home I stopped at Splash and Dash to wash my car. I did not get gas.
When I got home James had taken his bumper off his truck and has found a new one online in Show Low. He won't go look at it until next week.
James also finished the dust control permits for the Chacon job. Mario is upset with James and Armando and has halted construction on the job. James and Armando have bent over backwards to please him and be fair, but he doesn't understand. There is a communication problem and James thinks his nephew, who is the translator, is not giving the correct information. It is a big mess and I don't know what will happen.
I texted Tanna and asked her if we could come by and see her for a few minutes. She said she was gone and wouldn't be back until late tonight. I asked if we could drop something by for her birthday and she said yes, so off we went. James taped the card to the cake, and left the cake and the balloon on the steps by the door. She texted later and said the cake was delicious and thanked us.
I made rolls for the temple tomorrow and was trying to wash my dress and James's shirt when the washer broke. I had washed the rug by the front door earlier and there were little pieces of rubber all over inside the drum. I wonder if that's what's causing the problem.
We rinsed our clothes out by hand and put them in the dryer. James said he would look at the washer on Monday and if need be would call a repairman.
The hem partially came out of my temple dress so I spent a good part of the evening re-hemming it. We wanted to go to bed by nine but it was closer to ten.
This girl has been asking for braces for a long time.
She's thought about it...
Yes Ruby, you are getting braces!
It's that tooth in the front that Ruby wants to take care of.
Miss Lola loves to model!
Miss Charlie loves to read!
She also loves to "get down"
