"Your Great Adventure"
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"The third thing we strive to master in this journey of life is to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ and not be ashamed of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. We do not hide our faith. We do not bury it. To the contrary, we talk about our journey with others in normal and natural ways. That's what friends do - they talk about things that are important to them. Things that are close to their heart and make a difference to them. That's what you do. You tell your stories and experiences as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
This quote from Bruce R. McConkie in Sister Dew's book, "Women and the Priesthood", p. 104.
The doctrine of the priesthood is known only by personal revelation."
There was a powder sugar-like dusting of snow on everything when I got up this morning. By noon there was sunshine.
James cut the hanging shroud from underneath my car. It looks so much better but I'm wondering if we need to order another one as a protection for my cars underbelly.
I blogged January 11th and 12th today. I'm still 10 days behind. I would like to be caught up by the end of this month.
I did some repricing of books this morning and then made some pasta fagioli soup today. James said he really likes it but he would like it better without the pasta. I guess next time I could make no-pasta fagioli soup. He also said less hamburger. I added 1/2 lb of hamburger and 1/2 lb of Italian sausage and I loved it. Sorry honey, I don't think I can add less meat. He also wanted more beans.
At 1:45 we left for town. James has a 2:30 appointment at the outpatient center for an MRI. The spine doctore wants to see why he is still having pains in his ribs. The reason I came was because they thought he might have to be sedated and I would need to drive him home. As it turns out he was not sedated.
I went shopping at Walmart for James's birthday. The first thing I did was go to McDonald's for an ice cream and Coke to wake me up. I guess I'm still not used to getting up at 4 am.
I really just needed bananas and lemons but I ended up spending much more because of the birthday gifts. I bought James two flannel shirts, socks, and an ASU stocking cap and some pens to write with since he is always borrowing mine.
At around 3:30 James texted and said he was ready to be picked up. I was checking out. I'm glad that Walmart is right next door to the hospital and the outpatient center.
I read to James from "Aunt Dimity Next of Kin."
I walked and repriced this evening and made a salad then went to our monthly Relief Society presidency meeting at the church.
Kerri was in a ward Valentine's Day planning meeting when I arrived. As soon as she was out and Tamara arrived, we went to the Relief Society room and set up shop for our meeting.
We talked about the Relief Society assignments for the ward party, ministering - what to do about Millie, and our lesson schedule. I also gave a report from the stake family history meeting. Kerri said the missionaries are working with Cindy Brady. We decided to let Millie go on a ministering hiatus until her ribs heal and Sister Burkee gets back for the summer. We would like to ask Sister Chandler to be Sheba Myers partner.
We I returned home James made me some tea. I studied "Come Follow Me" and finished getting my steps before bed.
