"Truman G. Madsen made this comforting observation:

'If there are some of you who have been tricked into the conviction that you have gone too far, ... that you have had the poison of sin which makes it impossible ever again to be what you could have been - then hear me.

'I bear testimony that you cannot sink farther than the light and sweeping intelligence of Jesus Christ can reach. I bear testimony that as long as there is one spark of the will to repent and to reach, he is there He did not just descend to your condition; he descended below it that he might be in all and through all things the light of truth.'" (DC 88:6)

James's truck has got major electrical problems. He turned off the windshield wipers, came in the house and looked out the window and they were on. Erik told him he needed to get a new truck. This is true, but it just isn't in the cards right now.

We have so many things that need to be fixed right now, it's hard to know where to start. Where the water downstairs is coming from continues to be a mystery as the valve that was leaking last time is as dry as a bone.

Changing the fluids in the Razr is a nightmare. I believe they make it difficult so people will bring their machines in instead of trying to do it themselves. They don't know James. He is the king of "I can do it myself."

I listened to the book webinar training this morning by Kathy and Kris and then worked on books most of the day.

It rained hard here for about two minutes today. What's that about?

School started in the valley for Max, Evan, Joshua, Lola, and Ruby, and I think Rowan. I didn't see a post for Rowan as I did for Lola and Ruby so maybe not. Trina will have all four of her kids going to different schools this year. At least they are all close by.

James walked around the property this evening as I continue to circle the entry table. We had burgers and broccoli for dinner.

Watching Christmas movies is becoming quite a habit over here. I like them because they always have an uplifting message and a good ending. I can't stand sad or depressing endings.
