Jesus Christ, Crucifixion

*How do you avoid being deceived by the flattery of men?
-Through the inspiration of the Spirit. We must stay spiritually centered and remember what really matters. See Elder Lynn G. Robbins, "Which Way Do You Face," October 2014 General Conference.

Introductory Remarks
President Russell M. Nelson
"These adjustments are inspired of the Lord. As we implement them, we will be even more effective than we have ever been previously. We are engaged in the work of Almighty God. Jesus is the Christ! We are His humble servants! God bless you, brethren, as we learn of and do our duty."
Our friend Bill from Chandler sold Rockin' R Ranch for 2.6 million
recently. I guess he can afford to loan us $16,000 to pay off our creditors from the Phoenician Golf Course job. We still have not been paid and I think they are stalling. James is about ready to file a lien.
We have two heroes gone from the American public eye. One was a real prisoner of war hero, John McCain, and one was a hero of the big screen decades ago, Burt Reynolds, most famous for the movies, "Smoky and the Bandit."
As I was listening to Proverbs today I wrote down some of my favorites:
"When the wicked rule, the people perish."
"Where there is no vision, the people perish."
"A virtuous woman is more precious than rubies."
I also read chapter ten from "The Christ that Heals," before going to my card class.
These were the people in the class today besides myself:
Linda, Elizabeth, Judy (a new one), Marsha, Lorraine, Pam, Rosie, Diana, Pebble, and Deana. Diana started out by showing us some ideas on how to decorate our envelopes.
We did seven cards today, three Halloween by Lorraine, Diana, and Pam. A birthday by Pebble, a Ladybug card by Deana, a beautiful fall card by Elizabeth, and my Burlap Daisy. Here is a photo:
Elizabeth developed her own technique for the fall leaves.
I read a chapter from "Time and Again," watched part of the Debbie Gibson movie and walked and walked and walked. I sat all morning so I had to walk this afternoon and evening.
I also read to James a chapter from "The Secret Keeper," and worked on my 2019 dot journal. I am putting in a calendar for each month and week of the year. It will take some time before I get to the fun part of the journal.
An idea I might use
James worked outside until after dark on the tree he is going to use for the Howard's counter top.
Scarlett looks like she is at the spa!
The last one of Charlie is her Daddy's favorite.
