What should I pray for?
Bible Dictionary, "Prayer", paragraph 8
there are many passages in the New Testament that teach the duty of prayer (Matt. 7:7; 26:41; Luke 18:1; 21:36; Eph. 6:18; Philip. 4:6; Col. 4:2; 1 Thes. 5:17, 25; 1 Tim. 2:1, 8). Christians are taught to pray in Christ's name (John 14:13-14; 15:7, 16; 16:23-24). We pray in Christ's name when our mind is the mind of Christ, and our wishes the wishes of Christ - when His words abide in us (John 15:7).We then ask for things it is possible for God to grant. Many prayers remain unanswered because they are not in Christ's name at all; they in no way represent His mind but spring out of the selfishness of man's heart.
Jesus Christ betrayal of
Mark 14:11
And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
Book of Mormon
Mosiah 12:17-13:4
*How do you "apply your heart to understanding?"
- A great talk called "Learning with Our Hearts" by Elder Gonzalez gave great insight. Some would have you believe that all you need to know is found on the web. But good and bad information is not enough. God has given us another source. He can give us knowledge when we navigate the celestial web in our hearts and minds. We access the celestial source by reading scriptures, harkening to the living prophet, prayer, and taking time to be still. As we follow the celestial promptings (thru the gift of the Holy Ghost) we will feel and see things that cannot be learned with modern technology, but thru the mind and heart.
Old Testament
Judges 20
All Israel arises against the Benjamites, who refuse to deliver up the men of Gibeah - The Benjamites are smitten and destroyed.

" We need to be reminded that in total and over a significant period of time, seemingly small things bring to pass great things."
I took a photo of the snow this morning before it disappeared.
James's snow picture, a couple of hours
after mine.
From the Ensign I read an article called, "The Myth of Invisible Motherhood."
"Even when we think no one sees or appreciates what we do, God sees."
"As you press forward in faith, you testify to your children that Heavenly Father is a God of miracles. Those are the bricks that you lay daily in their temples."
"We never know what impact our everyday acts of kindness may have for others."
I also enjoyed listening to President Nelson's talk from April, 1995: "Children of the Covenant."
James and I had a lunch of leftovers today:
The bread is homemade by Sister Grapp
Trenda texted me this morning and said she was here if I would like to come over and see her mom's baby, Lanel Sheree. I quickly got dressed and grabbed James because I did not want to miss seeing Trenda since she was leaving at 2:30.
Trenda and her husband Emery were both at Sandra's. They live in Flagstaff where Emery is going to school to be a civil engineer and Trenda is working at a doctor's office. I asked her where she was working and she said, Flagstaff Bone and Joint. That just so happens where James has an appointment this coming Friday!
His appointment is with Dr. Flint and Trenda assured him that he was a great doctor.
I got to hold the baby the entire time we were there. We gave Sandra a box of clothes, a blanket, etc. for the baby. George was fascinated with the box and taking things in and out of it. He is going to be three in August.
Lanel Sheree is named after a legend in Vernon,
Aunt Lannie. She is our Primary President,
Aunt Lannie that is, and the assistant superintendent
of schools in Navajo county.
When we returned home it was nap time, walk time, and blog time.
James had to make a trip to town. Something about parts for the tractor he is trying to fix before his job starts on May 1st. While he was gone I heard a couple of ATV's drive up and stop and then someone knock on the door. It was his good friend Owen. Owen said he was camped up on the mountain looking for antlers and James should come up and see him when he gets home.
When James returned home I told him about Owen's visit and sure enough he went up to see him. Owen said they have been there for over a week and have not found any antlers but they did find several dead carcasses of deer and elk. This could be because of poachers or predators.
While James was gone 4 or 5 elk came onto our property to feed.
Sorry for the quality of the photos but that's
the best I can do with my phone.
When James got home he went outside and scared the elk away.
I worked on my Primary lesson this evening, the last one I will give. It is about Joseph being sold into Egypt by his brothers.
I had a hot bath after my walking and then James wanted me to watch a movie with him so we watched the next episode of "When Calls the Heart."
Mr. Fixit at work.
I love this!
Such a cute picture. I hope I look this good at 92.
What am I saying? I want to be in heaven
when I am 92!
People who complain about
Braylin is going to have a surgery on his arms that will
hopefully allow him to feed himself.
He really is an amazing boy!
My evening meal.

he's holding.
