James says he can build this for me!
Alma 28:9-29:7
9 - End of the 15th year of the reign of the judges.
10 - From the 1st to the 15th year there has been brought to pass an awful scene of bloodshed.
11 - War is the cause of death and sorrow. Endless woe versus neverending happiness.
12 - there is a hope in Christ that many are raised to dwell at the right hand of God in a state of never-ending happiness.
13 - Satan causes inequality because of sin and transgression.
14 - Sorrow because of death and destruction and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.
Alma 29:1-7
1- O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth and cry repentance unto every people!
2 - I would declare unto every soul repentance and the plan of redemption that there might not be more sorrow upon the face of the earth.
3 - I sin, because I should be happy with the things the Lord has allotted unto me.
4 - the Lord honors the will of man whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.
5 - . . . he that knoweth not good from evil is blameless; but he that noweth good and evil, to him it is given according to his desires.
6 - Why should I desire more than to perform the work to which I have been called?
7 - Why should I desire to be an angel to speak to the ends of the earth?
GC: "I Am a Child of God" by Elder Donald L. Hallstrom
I read scriptures and a chapter from Corinna with James. He shows me his plans for the backyard. He goes out to work and I work on cleaning the garage.
For lunch I had cooked cabbage and broccoli and to top it off, a couple of swiss cake rolls.
Here is a list of the books I am reading right now: 1) Fablehaven, 2) Discovering the Word of Wisdom, 3) The Washington Hypothesis, 4) The Lincoln Hypothesis, 5) The Seven Miracles that Saved America, 6) The Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World, 7) Christ in Every Hour, 8) The Power of Everyday Missionaries, 9) Raising an Army of Helaman's Warriors, 10) The American Covenant. Whew! I read from Fablehaven and Discovering the Word of Wisdom everyday after lunch. I read an hour on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday evenings. I read from two books each night. I like doing it this way. I have more time to savor a book rather than rushing through it.
James needed to go to town today so I went with him. I saw Kaeli Nicoll at Walmart. She is supposed to be in the valley but she is here taking care of a sick horse. I told her about my lunch with Jean.
James and I got dinner at Panda Express. Obviously we have not completely given up meat in our diet but we are definitely working towards cutting way down.
Let me tell you about one of my heroes. His name is Timothy Ballard and he is the author of three of the books I am reading. He is a modern-day abolitionist. Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the world. Two million sold into sex slavery are children. This just makes me sick. Brother Ballard is a part of a team of former federal agents working to rescue children all over the world; Columbia, Honduras, Haiti, Mexico, India, and the United States. The name of Brother Ballard's operation is: Operation Underground Railroad.

Not sure if this movie will be out again but I would like to support it.
There are modern-day heroes.
