Jesus Christ, Jehovah
D&C 128:9
It may seem to some to be a very bold doctrine that we talk of - a power which records or binds on earth and binds in heaven. Nevertheless, in all ages of the world, whenever the Lord has given a dispensation of the priesthood to any man by actual revelation, or any set of men, this power has always been given. Hence, whatsoever those men did in authority, in the name of the Lord, and did it truly and faithfully, and kept a proper and faithful record of the same, it became a law on earth and in heaven, and could not be annulled, according to the decrees of the great Jehovah. This is a faithful saying. Who can hear it?

"With the new class organization, all classes will be referred to by the unifying name of 'Young Women.' We will retire the names 'Beehive,''Mia Maid,' and 'Laurel.'
The final area I wish to address is the importance of class presidencies. No matter how Young Women classes are organized, every class should have a class presidency! It is divine design that young women are called to lead in their youth."
When I got up at 4:30 this morning it was 40 degrees outside. My shower gets me going. I sit at my desk and begin to review and write down the happenings of yesterday. When I am finished planning I pray over my plans. I wanted to work on "Inklings" the study with Emily Belle Freeman regarding the priesthood and the Restoration. Right now we are studying DC 107, but Emily had not posted for this week yet. She usually does it on Thursday morning but she is not an early riser.
Emily did have a post about the Savior:
Donuts for breakfast is never a good way to start the day, but that's what I did. Must get rid of sweets!
I'm still working on cleaning upstairs getting ready for Darrel and Trina's family tomorrow evening. The curtains in the common area and the ones in my office keep falling down. James bolted them to the wall so they will never fall again. Thanks Honey!
This afternoon I made rolls, minestrone soup and a salad for Pat Tedder and her son Jeff. At the last minute I decided to divide everything in half and take some to the Scott's too. Millie has fallen and broken two ribs and is in a lot of pain. I texted to check on Kathy Crane today but she is feeling much better and is actually serving in the temple today.
I made an apple pie for us. I started too late for everyone else. I peeled and cut up twelve apples. It took awhile, and then cooked them for a bit on the stove before putting them in a pre-made pie crust and then put it in the oven.
As I was working in the kitchen I looked up and realized that the rain that had been falling had turned in to snow. James and I were both surprised because snow was not in the forecast.
As I went in to the bedroom to make myself presentable to make deliveries, James finished packing everything up. Before we left around 5 pm I put the pie in the oven and set it to 350 instead of 375 in case we were gone for more than an hour.
We took because by now it was blizzard like conditions. First of all the truck is very difficult for me to get up in to. Once I was in my seat, James gave me one of the containers of soup to hold in my lap. His windshield wiper on the passenger side does not work so all I could see when I looked up was a big blob of snow on the windshield.
We were going to go to the Scott's first. We couldn't find their turnoff so we went to the Tedder's instead. James delivered the food because I had soup spilled on my pants and it is so hard for me to get up and down out of the truck. There was a container of soup, nine rolls, and a salad.
We went back up the road towards the Scott's. We had an epiphany and suddenly remembered you turn down 3151 to get to the Scott's. Jerry came out to the truck to thank me for the dinner. What a kind thing to do.
When we got home, the kitchen was a mess and James offered to clean it because my left foot was really hurting. I sat down to blogged and when the pie was done, that's what I had for dinner. James had had some soup earlier.
I still do not have my Tramadol.
My perfect breakfast: 1 egg, 2 slices of
turkey bacon, whole wheat toast with butter
