"Take the long view. What is the effect on our future of the decisions we make in the present? Remember the importance of getting an education, studying the gospel, renewing our covenants by partaking of the sacrament, and attending the temple."
I read the Ministering Principles article in the Ensign this month, "Can I Help Someone Change"? These are the bullet points in this article:
1. Don't Be Afraid to Invite Change
2. Remember It's Their Choice to Change
3. Pray for Others Ability to Change
4. Teach Them to Rely on His Power
5. Treat Them as They Can Become
6. Let Them Go at Their Own Pace
7. Don't Give Up If They Relapse into Old Ways
"We have the responsibility to see individuals not as they are but rather as they can become." -Thomas S. Monson
"Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve." - Jeffrey R. Holland
James and I heard a loud crash this morning. I was in the hallway and he was leaving the bedroom. He went back to the bathroom where the noise came from to find the full length mirror which was on the back of the bathroom door shattered on the floor. I'm not sure who is going to have the seven years of bad luck. I think it may have already started.
James cleaned up the mess while I finished my blog post. He left some chards on the floor and I cleaned them up.
We went into town today. Our first stop was the UPS Store to mail one of James's returns. Since we were in the neighborhood we stopped in for lunch at Firehouse Subs. We shared a large sandwich, chips, and a drink.
Our next stop was at the post office in Show Low. It was closed but James dropped his return package, which already had been paid for and had the label on it, so he dropped it in the parcel box.
On the way back to Vernon we stopped at Dairy Queen to spend my $10 gift card on a box of Dilly bars. First I ordered a cherry dipped small ice cream cone to eat on the way home, and then I ordered a box of cherry Dilly bars, but when James made a face I changed it to chocolate. I was shocked to find out that my ice cream cone cost over $3.00 and our bill was over $12. Glad I had some cash. My cherry dipped cone was good but not worth $3.19. The cones at McDonald's are under $1.00.
Back at home after my rest time I did some walking and book repricing. This evening James and I watched the new Hallmark movie.

Erin Krakow, Ryan Pavey, and the two

This one fierce lady is Jackie Arnett
The other girl is a Hunsaker whose
parents are in our ward.
Sunflowers and Verbina everywhere right now!
Stacy said that Rowan was the "last man standing."
He beat out about 40 other competitors.
This girl loves to flush,
she's got that part down pat.
This was a video and she was dancing.
I guess I didn't download it right.
