Jesus Christ, Judge

Moroni 10:34

And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead. Amen.

"I testify that God the Father lives and He loves you. He will answer your prayers. His Beloved Son leads, in every detail, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. President Russell M. Nelson is His living prophet. And Joseph Smith saw and spoke with God the Father and Jesus Christ in a grove of trees in Palmyra, New York. I know that is true. I also testify that Jesus Christ is your Savior; He loves you. And through His Atonement, you can be purified and lifted to the high and holy callings which will come to you. I so testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen."

This morning I got up and studied from Jacob 5. Yesterday with discussed the first visit of the Lord with the grandkids and tonight we will discuss the second visit which was during the meridian of time when the Savior was on the earth. I also read to them my book regarding the House of Israel so they would have a better understanding of the Abrahamic Covenant and the House of Israel.

Lola was making sure everyone had green on today. Someone, I can't remember who, said their eyes were green. She asked me if that counted and I said no. She asked grandpa and he said yes. I don't think anyone got pinched, at least if they did, I didn't hear about it. 

Joshua got up this morning and went outside for a walk. When Addy gets up she goes outside for a run. 

I made waffles and bacon for breakfast. I think everyone ate except Addy. Lola wants a tea party. I put her off until tomorrow telling her we need to go to the store first. 

James is frustrated about typing a contract. He is almost always frustrated with the computer about something and so am I. The most frustrating thing for me is my photo app and trying to download and crop photos to go on my blog. The app always, and I do mean everyday, freezes up while I am trying to add photos. That is one of the reasons I am so far behind with my posting.

James grilled steaks for dinner. I made rice, corn, and beans, and cut up strawberries and sat out blueberries. I think there was something for everyone except Evan. He didn't come down to eat.  Oh yes, we also had the rolls that Sheri sent. Steak is Max's favorite food but he needs one of his mom's rolls to go with it.

We were talking about what food Evan likes and Max said, he really likes breakfast. I said that tomorrow night I would fix breakfast for dinner so that Evan would join us.

After dinner and "Come Follow Me" grandpa built a bonfire and we all sat around it while Max sang and played the guitar. He played "The Boxer" and some other golden oldies. After I went in he played the "Sound of Silence." I am sorry I missed it.

The girls loved these pictures of Charlie!

Lola said, "It's a unicorn headband!"

I think this is a picture of the kids playing the game Jack Box. Either that or they are watching "Sponge Bob."

Dinner with everyone but Evan

Listening to Max
