"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.
-Revelations 21:4
"The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar...When you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual will be swallowed up in God's will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give."
-Elder Neal A. Maxwell
"When our thought are focused on the Lord, we become able to receive and recognize inspiration for our lives."-Becoming His, p. 32
It is 2 degrees outside this morning and there are snowbirds hopping around everywhere. While James is gone to finish up at Horne's the guy from Spring Mountain Materials finsihes delivering our cinders. When he is finished he comes to the door and I give him his check. It is comforting to know that the Crane's will reimburse us for half. The total was a little over $1,600.
There was a Relief Society dinner this evening at Wendy Dewitt's home. We had soup, chili, rolls, chocolate cake and hot chocolate with all kinds of "mixins". The Dewitt home is very nice and their kitchen table can seat over 20 people. We had about 30 sisters attend. Rosie Lauritzen, Rosa Westbrook, Ruth Wallace, and Wendy Dewitt all shared Christmas stories. It was a fun evening. Afterward Collin Dewitt, Jim Diewald, Diana Curtis, Kaeli Nicoll and I had a Young Men, Young Women planning meeting.

I came home and James cut my hair and we watched the movie "The Twelve Dates of Christmas." I bought some more of Kathy Crane's jalapeno jelly. James and I both love it.
