Alma 60:1-13
Moroni writes again to Pahoran.
2 - Moroni reminds Pahoran of his responsibility to provide provisions and soldiers for the war.
3 - He tells Pahoran of the sufferings of those involved in the war.
5 - Great has been the slaughter among our people and great has been your neglect toward us.
6 - Why are you neglecting us?
7 - Are you sitting upon your throne in a thoughtless stupor?
8 - You could have saved thousands from falling by the sword.
13 - For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that His justice and judgment may come upon the wicked; Ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; but behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God.

Deep Thoughts:
These thoughts are taken from an article about prayer that was published in Meridian Magazine:
"The tidy pretense of being a good person did not hold up to the painful reality of my fallenness."
"O Jesus, thou Son of God, Have mercy on me." (Alma the Younger)
"If I make myself humble He makes me clean."
"Prayer is not a polite beg-a-thon. No, it is a lost and confused child in a hostile and foreign land calling home for directions."
"Begging for mercy is different from presenting our demands."
James and I seem to have good timing. We have been deciding it's time to go to town right around lunch time. Today we went to Grumpy Jake's. It was our third choice but Persnikkity's and Darbi's were too busy.
I had the pulled pork sandwich.
James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Home Depot. It was raining hard, but we didn't get any rain in Vernon. On the way home we finished our book, "With Every Breath." We liked it.
We had a quiet relaxing afternoon. Even though we didn't get any rain, it was overcast and cool.
This is a picture of Rainbow Lake in Lakeside, just
down the highway from Grumpy Jakes.
James's dad had 12 brothers and sisters, having one sister who died in infancy. Now there are only two siblings left, Elton Kay, and Delbert. Today is Delbert's 93rd birthday. We hope he has a great day!

He is an artist too.
During my gospel study today I came across this diagram in the gospel doctrine Sunday School manual.
This is called the Pride Cycle and was the
downfall of the Nephite society.
I wonder if we will follow their example, or
learn from their mistakes.
My desires have evolved from wanting James to build a playhouse to having him build a guesthouse. Here is one I like because of the porches.
James said the flat roof might not work too
well when it snows.

I love it!
