What do you think it means the books shall be read upon the house tops?

General Conference
The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches Us To Pray
Elder Juan A. Uceda
"At the very moment we say, 'Father in Heaven,'
He hears our prayers and is sensitive to us and our needs. And so His ears are now connected to you. He reads our minds, and He feels our hearts. You cannot hide anything from Him. Now, the wonderful thing is that He will see you with eyes of love and mercy."
The Relief Society lesson for this week is from the Gordon B. Hinckley manual and is entitled, "Daughters of God." I like this quote:
"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous educational effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many."
Kacey posted this today on Facebook:
We are so grateful to have Kacey and her children in our family!
James said he heard on the radio today that President Trump said Planned Parenthood can receive federal funding as long as they stop performing abortions. I hope this is true!
James went to Susan J. today to do some home repairs. I had lunch with my friend Charlotte at Pei Wei. I ordered the Pei Wei spicy chicken salad but I was a little disappointed in the chicken. After lunch I went back to Charlotte's and tried to help her with her I-pad. I finally got to her emails. She had 443 of them. James came to pick me up so I couldn't help her for very long.
James and I went home to Vernon this afternoon, stopping at Burger House on the way. The weather in Vernon was gorgeous when we arrived. It was 57 degrees and there was no wind!
We unloaded the car and unpacked our suitcases and then settled down to watch a Hallmark movie we had seen before: "With All My Heart" starring Lacey Chaubert and Brennan Elliott. After the movie we watched the latest episode of "When Calls the Heart."
