Jesus Christ, birth of

Luke 2:11

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 29:1-15

*What are the differences between the judgments of man and the judgments of God?

- 29:12 - It is better that a man be judged of God, according to Gods standards, than of man, for the judgments of God are always just, but the judgments of man are not always just. Who likes being judged by man? Joseph Smith said: "While one portion of the human race is judging and condemning the other without mercy, the great parent of the universe looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard." We must refrain from making judgments on people because we lack the knowledge and wisdom to do so - We would even apply the wrong standards. How can we judge a situation we have never been in? How can we judge other's choices, when we don't know what options they had to choose from?

Old Testament

1 Samuel 31

31 The Philistines defeat Israel - Saul and his three sons are slain - Their bodies are retrieved by the Gileadites and burned.

General Conference

Introductory Remarks

Russell M. Nelson

"I am very grateful for each man who bears the holy priesthood. You are the hope of our Redeemer, who desires 'that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world.' He wants all of His ordained sons to represent Him, to speak for Him, to act for Him, and to bless the lives of God's children throughout the world, to the end 'that faith also might increase in all the earth.' "

Happy Mother's Day to all

After church today I was asked by a member of the bishopric to speak next Sunday on, intentional, righteous parenting. I said I thought James had spoken on that same topic a few months ago and he said, "Yes, we like to repeat topics to emphasize their importance.

It was a nice mother's day. I got a big Hershey's bar and a beautiful rose at church. James gave me a beautiful necklace and fixed me a green smoothie for dinner. All of my children contacted me and Autumn sent me a photo of Scarlett. Life is good.

I love this necklace!

Oquirrh Mountain, Utah

130th operating temple

Dedicated: 21-23 August 2009 by

Thomas S. Monson

Alma 7:1-13

*What are some future events that you are excited about?

*According to Alma, what was the "one thing which was of more importance" than anything else that was to come? Why do you think the coming of the Savior is the most important event of all time?

*Why do you think Alma would tell a people who already believed and had strong faith that they needed to repent?

*Elder Bruce C. Hafen: "The Atonement is not just for sinners."

*Based on what we have read in Alma 7:11-13, what do you think Elder Hafen meant when he said that "the Atonement is not just for sinners?"

*Jesus Christ suffered to save us from sin and death and to help us through the challenges of mortality.

*What will you do to rely on the Atonement as you face challenges?

Moroni 8

The baptism of little children is an evil abomination; Little children are alive in Christ because of the Atonement; Faith, repentance, meekness and lowliness of heart receiving the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end lead to salvation. A.D. 401-21.

DC 81:1-7

1-2, The keys of the kingdom are always held by the First Presidency; 3-7, If Frederick G. Williams is faithful in his ministry, he will have eternal life.

What have we been promised if we remain faithful unto the end?

* Eternal life in the mansions of the Father.

General Conference

The Jesus Beholding Him Loved Him

Elder S. Mark Palmer

"In that moment, I knew it was not just the hearts of some of our missionaries that needed changing. It was my heart as well. The question no longer was 'How does a frustrated mission president get a struggling missionary to behave better?' Instead, the question was 'How can I be filled with Christlike love so a missionary can feel the love of God through me and desire to change?' How can I behold him or her in the same way the Lord beheld the rich young man, seeing them for who they really are and who they can become, rather than just for what they are doing or not doing? How can I be more like the Savior?"

We were without water for awhile this morning. James forgot to turn the well back on and the 3,000 gallon tank emptied because he had been irrigating the lawn. It didn't take long to get back to normal. Although I think maybe we had Kim and Brian a little worried.

Brian made a delicious breakfast this morning; gluten-free pancakes and bacon. James was gone to visit our new friends the Elkins but when he returned he had some bacon and eggs. The Elkins bought 244 acres below us. He visited with them about pouring a concrete pad and a metal building. They are getting ready to dig a huge pond. I think they are going to be good neighbors. They told James he could borrow their backhoe any time he needed to and they even showed him where they hide their key.

James and I made another trip to town today. We stopped at Cal-Ranch, Sonic, Walmart, Harbor Freight, and Book Barn. James got some electric fence supplies. A boy in my Primary class who never comes had a birthday yesterday. I had his name put on a triple combination. I also got a gift bag, and card and some fun little things to put in with the scriptures, including my fidget spinner. My plan is to take one of the kids from my class with me tomorrow after the block to deliver the gift to Lej's house.

Kim and Brian left to go on a Razr ride around 6pm. At 7:43pm I got this text from Kim. "We were almost back to the cabin but the road is closed. we have to go all the way back to Christmas tree trail and go backwards. We won't be back for like 45 minutes."

Me: "Dad said to go through it. If you are coming out it is ok."

Kim: "We can't. There are ambulances. They wouldn't let us through. We are about a mile from home and this is closed too. They are air vac-ing someone out."

Me: "Maybe when they are finished they will let you through. Did you teel them you live right down the road?"

By this time they had returned.

You can't really see how much dirt was on their faces.

I teased them and told them we had not water again.

You should have seen Kim's face, and Brian's too!

Dirt you can see. This was Trina last summer after a

ride with her kids.

I was not feeling well this evening. James cooked some pork chops for dinner and then I made my way to the bedroom. I took some Nyquil and went to bed. Hopefully I can get up early and finish preparing my Primary lesson.
