My view of the world in the early hours of the morning is my dining room window.  I open the blinds when I get up and wait for the sun to rise.
This picture didn't really capture how pink the clouds were.

Today I read Elder Dube's conference talk, "Look Ahead and Believe."  Here is a quote from his talk:
"In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go."  I also read Sister Carol Stephens talk "Do We Know What We Have?"  She says that Priesthood ordinances and covenants provide access to the fulness of the blessings promised to us by God, which are made possible by the Savior's Atonement.

We helped clean the church again this week.  Chuck Crane, Jerry Scott, Millie Scott and James did the cleaning while Kathy Crane, Ruth Wallace and Diana Curtis and I took down the Christmas trees and decorations in the two foyers.

Blain Curtis and I took all of the boxes back out to the storage shed in the back of my car and unloaded them.  Kathy says we need to make sure everything is stored properly because there may be mice in that shed. Diana said: "Well they want to stay warm too."  Kudos to the Curtis's and Ruth for going the extra mile and helping us.

As we left I asked James if we were going to go to town and he said no.  Back at home we had leftover taco soup for lunch.  I worked on my blog, doing three daily posts, paid some bills and finished up my 2013 Sunday Journal.

We watched two Mrs. Miracle Christmas movies and enjoyed both of them.  I was going to give James a hair cut but it will have to wait until morning.
