"The importance of having a sense of the sacred is simply this: If one does not appreciate holy things he will lose them.
Absent a feeling of reverence he will grow increasingly
casual in attitude and lax in conduct. He will drift from the
moorings that his covenants with God could provide.
His feeling of accountability with God will diminish and
then be forgotten. He will care only about his own comfort
and satisfying his own appetites and desires. He will come to
disengage himself from sacred things, even God."
- Elder D. Todd Christofferson
I love sunflowers. James considers them weeds.
James has two early morning pours. One was at Rio Verde where it rained. Two guys got into an argument and James had to settle it. This job he has can be very stressful.
I fixed Darrel some breakfast this morning before he left for work. He works from 8am to 10pm so he had to leave around 7. He is going to be the head pharmacist and will make an extra $10 an hour over what he normally makes. I hope he has the stamina for these 14 hour days.
I thought my visiting teachers were coming today at 10. I waited for them until 11when I made a trip to the Stanford store for a Pepsi and a burger. Their little in house deli is quite good. I really enjoyed my burger.

This afternoon I paid bills, baked cookies for Young Women's, changed sheets and finished cleaning upstairs and downstairs.
For Mutual tonight we helped the girls work on Personal Progress and had interviews. I worked with Kilee Hunsaker. Kelly Reynolds passed off three value experiences. Hope helped her and LeeAnn played games on Hope's Ipad. LeeAnn is way ahead of the other girls so I didn't mind too much.
On the way home Kilee and I went by to visit Maddie. Her mom said she had a migraine. We left her the information for this Saturday's activity at Brother Mayfield's where the girls are doing chores and then riding horses. We also left her some cookies. I had a nice visit with Kilee.
When I got home I made some taco soup out of things I had in the pantry. It was delicious and I left it out for Darrel to have when he got home.
Good advice!
