"The Blessing of Continuing Revelation to Prophets and Personal Revelation to Guide Our Lives"

Elder Quentin L. Cook

"I have a firm testimony that this restored Church is led by our Savior, Jesus Christ. He knows whom to call as His Apostles and in what order to call them. He also knows how to prepare His senior Apostle to be the prophet and President of the Church."

James left early this morning for the valley. He needs to meet with several subcontractors on the job. He fed Luna before he left but I fed her at lunch time. She turned her nose up at the pellets and looked at me like, "Is that all there is?" Because she did this, I gave her a little bit of hay.

My great accomplishment for the day was catching up on my blog. The nice thing about being at home is if you don't feel well you can just take a break and lie down for a few minutes. I also caught up on my walking today, walking over 16,000 steps.

James was home by four this afternoon. When he got to Show Low he called to see if I wanted anything. I said a cherry Dilly bar. He said they didn't have cherry so he got a toffee flavored one. It was good, but not as good as cherry. 

After James's nap he went on a Luna ride. I think he rides so afterwards he can give her, her favorite food, oats. I fixed some dinner while he was gone and did my gospel study. When he got home he ate dinner and then proceeded to write a letter to Ben. I said he wouldn't be able to read it until next week and he said he didn't care he was going to write to him while he was thinking about it. I read James Ben's letter for this week. 

We watched episode 1 season 3 of "Lark Rise to Candleford" before going to bed.

Good Shepherd, Lamb of God

Gerrit W. Gong

"At this Easter season, we celebrate the Good Shepherd, who is also the Lamb of God. Of all His divine titles, no others are more tender or telling. We learn much from our Savior's references to Himself as the Good Shepherd and from prophetic testimonies of Him as the Lamb of God. These roles and symbols are powerfully complementary - who better to succor each precious lamb than the Good Shepherd, and who better to be our Good Shepherd than the Lamb of God?"

I spoke with my friend Debbie today about her cataract surgery. A Dr. Pfister from the valley came up to Barnett Delaney and did one of her eyes, and then two weeks later, did the other. She said the first thing I needed to do was to call my doctor and tell him what my plans are.

Brian and Kim left this morning. We were sad to see them go but grateful that Kim is feeling a little better.

While working and walking today I watched some of the Countdown to Summer favorite movies from past years. The first one I watched was "Summer of Dreams" starring Debbie Gibson and Pascale Hutton. Debbie plays a washed up superstar who coaches  a choir group at a high school in Ohio. It was fun.

The number one favorite countdown to summer movies was this year's "Paris, Wine and Romance" starring Jen Lilley.

I love the digital photo frame Kim and Brian gave us last year for our anniversary. They showed me how to load more photos from my phone so I am excited to do that!

It was windy today so of course I stayed inside. James is a little more adventurous than I am and went outside to work on the deck.

We watched a new Hallmark movie, "Love in the Sun." Here is my favorite quote from the movie by Kai: "There aren't any alligators, the sharks ate them all."

Ben wrote a letter to Sheri and gave quite a sermon on repentance today.

Ben has such a strong testimony and is not afraid to share it with others. What a preacher!
