(The angel Moroni is doing a balancing act)
Alma 9:7-18
*Why do you think the Lord had higher expectations for the people of Ammonihah?
*Why is it fair for the Lord to have higher expectations for those who have received the knowledge and blessings of the gospel?
DC 84:1-16
1-5, The New Jerusalem and the temple will be built in Missouri;
6-17, The line of priesthood from Moses to Adam is given;
Why is a priesthood line different from an ancestral line?
*A Priesthood line is passed down by one having authority. An ancestral line is one's biological family.
General Conference
Foundations of Faith
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"Ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class-expert in anything."
The Gospel Doctrine Sunday School lesson this week is "Looking Forth for the Great Day of the Lord to Come."
In my ebook, "Twelve Steps Closer to Christ" I found these quotes:
"Consider prayer the central labor of your life and hold it in the center of your heart."
"To not be left alone Jesus sought a place to be alone, to pray."
"To be closer to Christ requires that we move in His direction."
I also listened to Jeffrey R. Holland read from "Christ and the New Covenant. Elder Holland says that one of the major messages of the Book of Mormon is, "Look to Christ and Live!"
Thanks Jared, I am really enjoying my mother's day gift!
Stacy picked me up at 10:30 this morning to go to brunch at a cafe by the Fry's on the corner of Germann and Alma School called Biscuits. I had the Joe's scramble with two biscuits and homemade strawberry jam. It is my new favorite breakfast. The scramble has eggs, potato chunks, bacon, spinach, tomato and is topped with parmesean cheese. The biscuits were so moist and the strawberry jam takes like the fresh strawberry freezer jam I used to make. It was so delicious! Thank you Stacy. I will definitely be back!
After brunch we did a little shopping at Fry's and then went to Hancock to pick up Evan and Joshua from their last day of school. They seemed a little sad about leaving school because they say they will miss their friends. I told them Trina and her kids were coming by later to go to Bahama Bucks and that I would pick both of them up to go with us. If you made it to grandpa's table you were at the cool table:

A few blue lips before we left.
After Bahama Bucks took all of our money we went back to Cathi's to visit her pets and hang out in her backyard.
Of course Indy wanted his belly scratched.
Scooter was a big attraction for these three.
At one point he was trying to eat Rowan's
blue shoes.
Cathi suggested they feed him his
favorite food, a hibiscus flower.
He swallowed it whole.
You are never too old to swing.
Later, on the way back from taking Joshua home we stopped at Sonic so I could get a corndog. I mentioned to James that what I really wanted was some cottage cheese with tomato. Later he went to work on his trailer and came back with cottage cheese, tomato, avocado, and cranberry celebration. How very thoughtful of him!
I know it is true love because before he went to bed he gave me a pedicure.
Fun Photos:
On Monday Rebecca and Brent's daughter
Christina had her third baby, a little girl
they named Winter. Here she is being held by
her three year old sister Eden.
Ander isn't quite as confident as Eden.
Congratulations!
This is Johnny. He loves to dress
up for church. His mom loves
his mullet, his dad hates it.
Either way, he is very handsome!
I want James to make us one of these.
He said he would, if he has time. That's the disclaimer.
