Jesus Christ, King
Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

"I feel blessed to have a worthy father who can provide priesthood blessings whenever I need them and who helps me to see my strengths and eternal potential, just as Lehi did when he blessed his children."

"How the Priesthood Blesses Youth"

"The priesthood is the authority to administer the ordinances and covenants of the Savior's gospel to those who are worthy to receive them. Through these priesthood ordinances and sacred covenants come the full blessings of the Savior's Atonement, which helps us achieve our divine destiny."

I fixed James a big breakfast this morning before he left for the valley. Sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and toast with jam. Everything was yummy except for the bacon and sausage. I got Farmland brand because I usually like their bacon but not today. I will probably throw the rest out and the same goes for the sausage which had way too much fast. James did eat the Jimmy Dean regular sausage. It is a little spicy, I wanted mild but couldn't find any.
While James ate I read to him from the Book of Mormon and then we had family prayer. I always say family prayer in the mornings and James says it at night.

Before James left he announced that the car mouse had eaten the bait but did not get caught. He did catch one the other day. It gives me the creeps to think that when I get in my car a mouse could crawl up my pant leg!

After James left I cleaned the kitchen and did the weekly clean of our bedroom and bathroom except for changing our sheets because James had already made the bed before I could grab the sheets. I guess I will have to change them tomorrow.

I did not feel well this afternoon. I had one Tramadol this morning, the last one that James found yesterday. I had no energy and an upset stomach with a potty run every few minutes. I did manage to go out and feed Luna her lunch. 

No book sales today. We did get a message that $487.65 was being sent to our account today and another $675.63 on May 28th. One of my best months, if not the best, ever. I began today entering all of the books I have sold since January 2019. My first book was "Heidi Grows Up" and I made a profit of $12. James is going to do my taxes for me but I need to gather the information for him. 

We got an inspirational message today from Brother Grapp a member of our bishopric. Since he is over the Primary he shared a story that young children could understand. He is such a good and kind man, and I am grateful he is a member of our bishopric.

This afternoon I ran off some lesson helps from The Redheaded Hostess website for this week's "Come Follow Me" message. 
I am doing this for the Grapp family since I am Cammie's ministering sister and I am not sure if she thinks it might still be too early for me to visit. 

It was after three before James left the job and headed for home. He stopped at Burger House and picked up some green chili burros and a bean burro. I do love their bean burros as well as the green chili. James likes the mixed green burros. He also went to Walmart to pick up my Tramadol and some Skinny Cows and the raspberry dark chocolate bars that he likes. He was home at 7:30 and the first thing he did was go out and feed his baby, Luna.

He took a shower and then we watched our episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford."
Lark Rise to Candleford
Season 2 Episode 4
The residents of Lark Rise and Candleford are experiencing more and more changes, and the old ways are receding faster than some like. When an accident happens on the path joining Lark Rise with Candleford, Dorcas Lane and James Dowland clash once again.
Quotes
Laura: 
"It had taken many months for Miss Ellison to secure an invitation to the rectory for a humble postman no matter how ever devout. Miss Margaret had been praying that her father would make Thomas Brown feel welcome, but families have a habit of never quite behaving as to plan.( Her father is lying dead on the floor).















Trina's post. When I saw it I added

James forgot his charger and these important
papers when he left for the valley today.

This girl is so funny!

Cedar City, Utah temple
under construction

2 Nephi 27:12-35
How have you seen people draw near to the Lord with their lips? How have I drawn near to the Lord with my lips?
Alma 22:19-23
23- Religious freedom is proclaimed-The Lamanites in seven lands and cities are converted-They call themselves Anti-Nephi-Lehies and are freed from the curse-The Amalekites and the Amulonites reject the truth.
DC 39:12-24
15-21, The Lord's servants are to preach the gospel before the Second Coming; 22-24, Those who receive the gospel will be gathered in time and in eternity.

Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?
Elder J. Devn Cornish
Alma proclaimed,
"Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness."
With repeated sinning, we distance ourselves from the Spirit,
become discouraged, and then stop repenting.

International Women's Day

One of my favorite quotes!


Twenty-four elk spent a little time in our yard today.  I saw them but I missed the two cow elk up on their hind legs pawing at each other.  James said it was hilarious.
I love their light colored bums.

I talked to Stacy today and she said that Michael is having trouble with his lungs.  I think it all is related to the fact that he had RSV as an infant.  Also, he has terrible allergies.  

I managed to blog for February 24th and 25th today.  It is taking me forever to catch up.  I hope I never get this far behind again.  It was a day of little accomplishment although I got up at 4 am.  I had to take an hour nap before noon.  I did finish my gospel study, paid some bills and took a shower.  Things I planned to do but didn't:
Fix a meal using items from our years supply, a chicken and stuffing casserole.  Clean upstairs.  I did go upstairs and discovered Sheri and Ian's toilet needed some adjusting.  After dusting the ping pong table I went downstairs to tell James about the toilet.  I never made it back upstairs.  James worked on a bid for Desert Highlands Golf Course most of the day.  

Instead of having a nice meal for dinner James had some leftover chili and refried beans with one of the biscuits I made. Whatever I get a craving for is what I end up fixing.  I wished I craved vegetables or something healthy.  

This evening we watched: "Stop the Wedding" and "The Sweet Life."

If this really true?

A few years ago I wrote the Book of Mormon out in long-hand.
I found out this week in my Primary lesson that Oliver Cowdery was ask to do the same thing by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
