Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship

Helaman 8:14

Yea did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so shall he be lifted up who should come.

Book of Mormon

Alma 8:18-9:6

New Testament "Come Follow Me"

Mark 12:18-27

General Conference

Build a Fortress of Spirituality and Protection

Elder Ronald A. Rasband

"Go ye unto your homes, and ponder" is the next step in taking to heart the words of prophets and Church leaders spoken in this sacred setting. Christ-centered hoes are fortresses for the kingdom of God on earth in a day when, as prophesied, the devil "rages in the hearts of the children of men, and stirs them up to anger against that which is good."

As I opened the blinds this morning I noticed LaVerne walking across the back field by herself. You of course remember our two antelopes, LaVerne and Shirley who came a few days to stay last year. James says it is their time to be alone to have their babies. I couldn't tell for sure if LaVerne was pregnant but she was walking pretty slowly. I'm not sure which direction she went. She was probably headed somewhere for a little privacy, away from my prying eyes.

I heard this quote today: "Where much is given, much is expected." It's a good reminder of how much I have been given and how grateful I am and how much I owe to my Savior and Heavenly Father.

I paid down my credit card today and also paid my tithing. I am grateful we have the funds to do both of those things. We got back over $600 from our book business this month. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's a start. We have now sold 88 books. In the webinar this morning Jim reminded us that: "We spend money to make money." Buying books is expensive but well worth it when they sell.

I had 15,000 steps by 5 this afternoon. This is my new goal. I finished watching the Iron Chef Challenge between Iron Chef Mike Symon and cake baker, Duff. It was close but Mike won. Jane Seymour was one of the judges. I wonder what qualifications she has?

I prepared shipments of books to be sent out tomorrow. Fourteen books total in three different shipments. I wish Amazon would just let them all go to one place.

He just got back from a tour,

I hope he takes a break before going again!

Wish I lived here. Reminds me of

the book "Heidi" from when I was a girl.

Glad my days at camp are over.

The Ray family. Adam graduated

from Chandler high, the 4th generation to do so.

Wow!

Jen Lilley of Hallmark movie fame. She is holding a baby that

she fosters. She also fosters his older brother and wants to adopt them both. She is pregnant with her own child, a girl.

She is an amazing woman!

In honor of our anniversary I am sure!

119th operating temple

Jesus Christ betrayal of

1 Nephi 11:32

And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look! And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was judged of the world; and I saw and bear record.

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 21:9-27

*Why did the Lord not see fit to deliver the people of Limhi out of bondage (21:15)? How does this relate to our trials?

- sue_heugly: "Vs 15, the Lord was slow to hear. The Lord did not see fit to deliver the people of Limhi from bondage. Why? Because the people needed to make genuine changes. When going thru hard things we exercise our agency by showing whether we will be bitter and angry, or become more humble and draw ourselves closer to God and seek His help."

Old Testament

1Samuel 6-7

6 The Philistines send back the ark with an offering - The Lord smites and slays the Israelites in Beth-shemesh who look into the ark.

7 Samuel exhorts Israel to forsake Ashtaroth and Baalim and serve the Lord - Israel fasts and seeks the Lord - The Philistines are subdued - Samuel judges Israel.

General Conference

Am I a Child of God?

Elder Brian K. Taylor

"This great war over divine identity rages fiercely as Satan's proliferating arsenal aims to destroy our belief in and knowledge of our relationship with God. Thankfully, we have been blessed with clear vision and understanding of our true identity from the beginning: 'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,' and His living prophets proclaim, 'Each human being is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.'"

I paid bills today and it's a good thing I did because I had made a mistake in my checkbook register and I would not have had enough money to pay all my checks that were out and then would have had to pay an overdrawn charge of $34. I made a transfer from our line of credit and took care of the problem.

Russell M. Nelson, 10/2000: Living By Scriptural Guidance

DC 88:36-38

36 All kingdoms have a law given;

37 And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom.

38 And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there are certain bounds also conditions.

Rescuing Wayward Children: Unity of Faith through Purpose, Action, Fasting, and Prayer.(223-24).

Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive. DC 29:5-6

"Accessing the power of the unified faith of thousands through the temple prayer rolls, and of the faith and help of those across the veil, whom we help when we do the work for the dead, we can effectively gather in the Lord's name as we strive for the salvation of our children and loved ones, knowing that Christ's grace and power is thus in our midst and we are His."

Elder Dale G. Renlund: Melchizedek Priesthood: Chapter 2: Priesthood Offices and Keys

It has been raining/snowing for quite sometime now! We had moisture off and on all day and I am so thankful because there are now two fires in our state, the Rattlesnake and the Tinder.

I woke up at 1 a.m. this morning with severe pain in my upper left arm. Yesterday when getting out of the bathtub I hurt it. I got up, ate one of my rolls, took a couple of aspirin, and laid down on the recliner. I couldn't sleep so I finished watching the new Candace Cameron Bure movie on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, "You Reap What You Sew." Afterwards I fell asleep. I slept a short while and it was time to get up for the day. I ate, took some Tramadol and began to feel better in about an hour after taking the Tramadol.

Our dry does not get hot. I did laundry today and hung things around the house.

Because of the broken skidsteer James did some errands with Alex, who was one of his workers today, and then decided to come home.

I cooked him his favorite for dinner, cooked cabbage. He was so happy.

I had a meeting tonight to plan the next ward activity which the Relief Society and the missionary department is in charge of. Laurann was home with sick kids so it was Tamara, Kerri, myself, and Brother Reidhead the ward mission leader.

It was a great meeting. Tamara had the idea to use family history as the theme and we all just brainstormed from there. Here is what we came up with:
