"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" -Proverbs 3:5-6

I got up early this morning and paid two bills, realizing that they were both due yesterday. Hopefully I won't be charged any late fees.

I blogged, worked on books and did errands today. James went with me and of course I read to him. He dropped me off at Walmart while he went across the street to the new Circle K to wash Lexy.

I planned four meals for this coming week, chicken tenders, chili, meatloaf, and green chili stew. I love it when I plan ahead!

I got James a piece of banana walnut cake and me a piece of lemon cake to eat on the way home. He got almond nut crackers. He liked the crackers the best. I liked the lemon cake.

We stopped at the post office in Vernon on the way in to town and picked up a couple of packages for me. My pillows are here and my Book of Mormon journal. I'm so excited I can hardly wait to get home and open the packages.

Both Autumn and Jared posted on Facebook today. Autumn about the halftime show at the Superbowl and Jared about Mitt Romney. They were both great posts and I agree with both 100%. I am proud of them for defending what they believe to be right.

This evening was study time for me. I am studying the Restoration and of course "Come Follow Me." Today there was a new Inklings post which included DC 107:71-84 which is about the office of a bishop. Emily shared a story about a time when she was sick and her bishop left church when the meetings were less than half over to visit her.

I remember when Bishop Horne was our bishop and I was the Primary president. I had been home for church for a couple of weeks because of an arthritis flareup and the bishop asked the entire ward to fast for me. What a feeling of comfort and peace that gave me. Thank you Bishop Horne.

I listened to several chapters from "Saints" today as part of my study of the Restoration. I also read from "Live Up To Our Privileges" by Wendy Ulrich and "Church History in the Fullness of Times."

Today was so much warmer than yesterday. The high was in the 50's instead of the 20's. We also parked Lexy in the garage because she had no mud on her tires. The roads are all dried out.

Today was a wonderful day for me. I love my home, my ward, my family, my hubby, and my Savior!
