This morning's sunrise.
Alma 40:15-26
What happens between death and the resurrection. It says in verse 21: . . . there is a space between death and the resurrection of the body, and a state of the soul in happiness or in misery until the time which is appointed of God that the dead shall come forth, and be reunited, both soul and body, and be brought to stand before God, and be judged according to their works.
GC: "Refuge from the Storm" by Elder Patrick Kearon
Rowan and Ruby started school today. They are in a new school so it will be a challenge to make new friends.
Ruby is in 2nd grade and Rowan is in the 4th.
I love these two sweeties!
James had to make an emergency trip to town for more plumbing supplies for the sprinklers he's putting in. I went with him and we had lunch at Panda again and I went to Walmart to pick up a prescription while he went to Home Depot. I think we may be in a rut. On the way home we finished reading "The Washington Hypothesis." I loved this book and have gained a new appreciation for John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Knox, and especially George Washington. Where are men like this when we need them right now. I don't think the people of America are honoring God and our National Covenant, 'If ye keep the commandments, ye shall prosper in the land.' I fear for America.
When we returned from town Alicia Hunsaker brought us some Protandim which is a new supplement designed to help rid your body of free radicals.
James and I both want to feel better and so in addition
to changing our diet we are trying this supplement.
I am always tired when I return from town so I put on my comfy clothes and laid down in the recliner and watched an episode of "Chopped." Afterwards I got ready for my visiting teaching visit with Claire Mercado. I prepared this handout:
The lesson was on the blessing of children and
our potential for parenthood.
I really do like Claire and she has been an example to me on how to eat right. She is a vegan and seems to be quite healthy.
We had a really nice visit. I feel like she has become my friend.
For dinner we had beans, salsa, chips, radishes, and cucumbers. It was quite tasty and we ate the last of the beans I cooked last week.
Tonight I studied "The Seven Miracles that Saved America." One of these miracles was Christopher Columbus and that's who I am reading about now. I also read "The Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World." One of these was Christianity and it's effect on the thinking of the people of Europe. Fascinating reading and I am learning so much.
When Dallin came to visit he took this picture.
I hope he remembers the Savior everyday of his life.
Today is Claire's birthday. She is Dallin's friend and came with him to the cabin. I hope she had a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday Claire!
