Exercising Our Spiritual Muscles
Elder Juan Pablo Villar
"Thanks to the Restoration of the gospel, we can come to understand how our Heavenly Father helps us develop spiritual gifts. It is more likely that He will give us opportunities to develop those gifts rather than just granting them to us without spiritual and physical effort If we are in tune with His Spirit, we will learn to identify those opportunities and then act upon them."
Jared got a new salary offer from his employer in Tyler that will cover his expenses, so they won't be moving any time soon. We feel like our prayers were answered.
James went to town this morning and took my book shipment to mail. He got oil for the Razr. Now the hard part begins, finding where to put the oil. Everything is under something else and nothing is labeled. He has the manual but the photos are not very clear. He brought me an ice cream from McDonald's back with him.
I made rolls for the temple tomorrow and pot pies (Marie Callendar's) for dinner this afternoon. James is supposed to quit eating 5 hours before he goes to bed so we now eat around 5 p.m.
James put new light bulbs in while I worked on repricing books this afternoon.
I trimmed James's hair and ironed his shirt for tomorrow.

Today's Christmas movies:
So tired
I ordered the DVD for Addy and I to watch.
It's not a Hallmark movie.
We've both seen it and we like it.
So tired...
