"Disciplining the natural man in each of us makes possible a
richer, a deeper, and a more enduring love of God and
of His children. Love increases through righteous
restraint and decreases through
impulsive indulgence."
-Elder David A. Bednar
Happy Birthday Dawn!
Dawn is the one on the far left and the rest of the
people in this picture are her brothers and sisters.
Let me tell you a little bit about James's younger sister Dawn. She is one of the most patient, kind and considerate people you will ever meet. She always thinks of others before herself. She is dedicated, hard-working, and determined. She has a doctorate in education and teaches at ASU. She lives with her mother and because of Dawn, the rest of the family knows their mother is well taken care of. Dawn's "school room" in their house is a favorite with the kids. She has so many interesting learning materials that are very engaging, to kids, both young and old. I have known Dawn for over 40 years and I can honestly say she is one of my favorite people in the world!!
James is leaving this morning so I get up to have prayer with him. I am in alot of pain this morning. Both hips hurt and my left shoulder is very sore. I must have slept on it wrong.
Since I have no car I won't be going shopping today. Instead I stay home and pay bills. I have a nice talk on the phone with my good friend Diana Curtis. Sometimes I get lonely when I am here alone so I appreciate friends and family texting or calling.
I can't seem to get all the things done that I want to do. I need to be working on family history and going through all the boxes of stuff in my office. By the time I finish paying bills the day is almost over. Maybe I need to cut down on my TV shows. Tonight I watched the premiere of Castle and Once Upon a Time.
