"Success," it has been said, "isn't the absence of failure, but going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm."
He's handsome too!
Russell M. Nelson:4/02 How Firm a Foundation:
"The foundation of one's individual faith, if anchored firmly to eternal truth, allows each of us to reach upward with an eternal perspective."
Rescuing Wayward Children: p. 239-40:
Elder Bruce C. Hafen wrote:
" A covenant marriage in the highest sense will begin as a temple marriage. When the partners are then sufficiently righteous, the marriage will be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise (DC 132:7),
"which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true" (DC 76:53). Such a marriage will then be not only eternal in duration but also celestial in quality, for it will be a marriage that partakes of God's quality of life."
Elder Dale G. Renlund:The Melchizedek Priesthood: Chapter 4:
"The Priesthood Blesses the Priesthood Holder"
I am so grateful for my dear, sweet husband. He knew he was only going to be able to get things done for me today because tomorrow is the Sabbath and he leaves again for his job at Legacy Golf Course early Monday morning. Here is a list of the things he did this morning:
*Took the wet vacuum and blew out the dryer vent. I now have a working dryer!
*He went to the dump
*Washed the car because we are going to the temple this afternoon
*Took the shelves we got from Trina and put them upstairs where they belong.
He is the best!
When I was at Fry's yesterday I bought a boxed meal, Jerk chicken with stewed greens, with all the ingredients in the box. All you have to do is follow the directions for preparation and boom! your meals is ready.
The chicken was cooked perfectly but I didn't like the jerk seasoning very well. The stewed kale was good but my favorite was the mango salsa. James liked everything quite well too.
After lunch we started our fast. We are fasting for family concerns, our grandchildren who have gone away from the gospel, and what we can do to help them and their parents. We are also fasting that all of our children and their spouses will have family prayer, scripture study, and FHE. It is a good thing to be united together in fasting and prayer.
We left for Snowflake at 3:15 for the 4:30 temple session. I was fortunate to sit by a former temple matron's assistant during the session, Sister Miller. She says that all of the former temple presidency and their wives are temple workers. I knew we were in good company as temple workers!
James looks puzzled and I look like
I have a spider leg on my forehead.
We stopped at Walmart on the way home to pick up some ice cream. Tomorrow is the day we have our big treat for the week. We both love Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia so that's what I got, you know, one of those small containers. A 1/2 cup of this stuff has 260 calories!
I finished my 10,000 steps this evening and didn't even drink any water. I did have some sugarfree Icebreakers. I couldn't survive without my Icebreakers.
James worked on loading his truck for work on Monday and I worked on studying for tomorrow's RS lesson on Revelation and what I am going to say to the Young Women about ministering. Sister Allen asked one of us to come in and explain to the girls what the Laurels and Mia Maids responsibilities will be in their ministering assignments.
Today is my brother Dennis's Birthday.
Happy birthday Dennis!
Let's do lunch.
Looking a little tired at the state track meet
in Mesa. It was over 100 degrees.
Well, after all, he is 64!
Today is also my dear sweet friend
Betty Bogle's birthday. Here she is with
9 of her 10 children. Her oldest, Bobby,
was killed in an airplane crash several
years ago.
Congratulations Zachary!
