Jesus Christ, Judge
D&C 135:5
And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto the Gentiles grace, that they might have charity. And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: If they have not charity it mattereth not unto thee, thou hast been faithful; wherefore thy garments shall be made clean. And because thou hast seen thy weakness, thou shalt be made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place which I have prepared in the mansions of my Father. And now I ... bid farewell unto the Gentiles; yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love, until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ, where all men shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood. The testators are no dead, and their testament is in force.

"Giving Our Spirits Control Over Our Bodies"
President M. Russell Ballard
"Brothers and sisters, I encourage you to slow down a bit and think about where you are now in subjugating your carnal nature and empowering your divine, spiritual nature so when the time comes, you may pass into the spirit world to a joyful reunion with your loved ones - for which I testify and humbly pray in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen."

I woke up James with some Citrus Sunshine tea this morning. My three favorite teas are: Chamomile, Peach, and Citrus Sunshine, all Celestial Seasonings brand.
When he saw Sister Halcomb at the store on Tuesday James promised her he would grind her some flour so that's what he did this morning.
He ground a little too much and got flour all over the counters and floor. What a mess, but it was worth it. This is the first time we have used this grinder I bought about ten years ago for $100 and we were pleased with the results.
I had a ministering interview with Sister A. Miller today. She has become good friends with Candi and so I told her about how Jasmine said her mother, Candi, won't let her do baptisms for the dead because she doesn't think we should force people to join our church. I tried to explain to her that we aren't forcing anyone but it won't do any good unless someone convinces Candi. I told Anne so she would look for an opportunity to bring the subject up sometime when she is with Candi.
We got an email from Bishop Hunsaker today about the special fast President Nelson has asked us to do this weekend to stop the Corona virus. Basically if you are not paying your fast offerings online but in an envelope he said the bishopric would be at the church from 10:30 to 11:00 on Sunday. You just drive by and hand them your envelope.
I did some cleaning upstairs today. While I was in Darrel and Trina's bedroom James told me to look out the window. There was a herd of elk out in the field. We took some pictures.
Upstairs is really the best place to take pictures. I texted them to Addy and said, "Outside your bedroom window."
We started our fast after lunch.
I called my Aunt Gene this afternoon. Today is her 92nd birthday. We had a nice visit until her son Arlee and his wife Carol came bringing her flowers. I told her I was selling books online and she told me she had lots of books that I could have. When this whole Corona virus is over I will pay her a visit.
It took me most of the day, with a few interruptions, to do two blog posts. I am determined I am going to get caught up!
This evening as we were watching the newest Spring Fling movie on Hallmark, I got a call from my friend Jean. They have lots of unexpected company and she was wondering if she could borrow some toilet paper. I told her yes and she said Tom would come over in the morning to pick it up. When I told James he suggested we deliver it tonight. We stopped our movies, made the delivery, and came back and finished. It was a good one called "Just My Type."
Megan Wanlass got married at home today.
Happy 92nd Birthday!
