"We need unequivocal commitment to the commandments and strict adherence to sacred covenants. When we allow rationalizations to prevent us from temple endowments, worthy missions and temple marriage, they are particularly harmful. It is heartbreaking when we profess belief in these goals yet neglect the everyday conduct required to achieve them."
-Elder Quentin L. Cook
James, Alex, and James Hayden get up erly to go fishing at Silver Creek.
James Hayden caught the most fish, 3.
I think grandpa's was the biggest.
Alex helped James Hayden but was still able to catch one of his own.
It was a relaxing day around the house. Kim did my Christmas puzzle, Kim, Joe, Alex and James Hayden played Hearts, and there were a few games of Five Crowns. I played Settlers with James H. and Alex. Alex won of course. I forgot how much fun the game is.
Brian and the boys watched "Heaven is Real." Joe played his guitar, I read to James from "For Elise" and Kim made her famous homemade macaroni and Cheese. It didn't last long and we could have eaten more.
This evening James, Alex, and James H. went hunting for coyotes.
They got back in time to watch Chandler win the state championship football game against Hamilton, 28-7. It kind of makes up for ASU losing to UofA.
Chandler has celebrated it's 100th year in style. They were just named the number one school district in Arizona and now Chandler high wins the state football championship for the first time since 1949.
