1 Nephi 14:12
And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.

"True Disciples of the Savior"
Elder Terence M. Vinson
"Giving our all doesn't mean that we will be continually enveloped in blessings or always have success. But it does mean that we will have joy. Joy is not fleeting pleasure or even temporary happiness. Joy is enduring and is founded on our efforts being accepted by the Lord."
RWC: "Inasmuch as we succeed in securing eternal glory, and stand as saviors, and as kings and priests to our God, we will save our posterity."
I read from "Women and the Priesthood" by Sheri Dew this morning. I also discovered that I already have the book on my bookshelf upstairs. Kacey, if you would like a copy, please let me know.
As I am sitting at the dining room table working at the computer, I hear Orson, the woodpecker, or as some people think, the ghost, outside pecking away.
The Churches initiative, "Light the World" started yesterday. Since I forgot to post yesterday's, I will post it today, along with today's.
Company worthy dinner: Green chili stew with Dennis's spanish rice. mmmmm
We made a trip to town today. Two new tires for me and because of warranties they only cost us $68.00. James left his truck at Discount Tire and they will put a new tire on, which they had to order, and we will pick it up on Friday on our way home from the valley.
We went to Walmart to get bananas and spinach so we could make smoothies. James makes me one for dinner plus some chamomile tea. We watched two Christmas movies today;
Lifetime: "A Sweet Christmas Romance" and
Hallmark: "Christmas in Rome"
I only did one blog post today instead of two. At this rate I will never catch up. I spilled water on my computer and then melted some of the keys with the blow dryer so I am having to share James's computer with him which makes things a little interesting. I ordered two new computers, one for him and one for me.
We waited for our creditor checks from Amrock all day. We went online and saw that they were on the UPS truck going out this morning. We kept checking the front porch but no enveloped from UPS. As we were going to bed around 10 pm I noticed an envelope stuck behind the wrought iron on the front door. Our checks are here!
