"The Finest Homes"
Elder L. Whitney Clayton
"From the Lord's perspective, establishing the finest homes has everything to do with the personal qualities of the people who live there. These homes aren't made fine in any important or lasting way by their furniture or by the net worth or social status of the people who own them. The finest characteristic of any home is the image of Christ reflected in the home's residents. What matters is the interior design of the souls of the inhabitants, not the structure itself."


"No Time for Contention"
Elder Marvin J. Ashton
April 1978


Anthony delivered some hay this morning and James gave him his old computer. The problem is that he couldn't find the cord to it so he gave him the cord to his new computer. He thinks he will buy a new one. I hope he is able to find one.

James made us some lo-mein noodles for lunch while I read to him from "Aunt Dimity and the Wishing Well." James was going to go to town this morning to look at cinders for the road but he decided against it. He is going to go with me tomorrow. He is so disappointed about the part to his truck. It is going to cost so much more than he thought and he will have to wait again for the part to come. Now he is fixing the small items that need to be fixed on the Cat so he can sell it to Pierce.

It took me several hours to buy three books today. I need to spend more time doing others things to keep my business going but it is taking all my time just to buy books. 

I love staying home. I love my home and where we live. I would like to make some improvements outside, such as fixing up the grass patch and planter in the front and planting grass in the backyard. It would also be nice to have the field fenced in for Luna.

Again, while James was out riding I was studying "Come Follow Me", the Restoration Proclamation, and Church History in the Fulness of Times. I love studying the gospel and strengthening my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Potstickers for dinner. One of the things we look forward to at the end of the day is sitting down together and watching an episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford." We watched episode 4 of season 3 which is one of the saddest episodes. Lark Rise is bringing in the harvest when an epidemic of measles hits. Daniel shows his true colors by staying in town to help. Little Archie Arless dies while his brother Alf is trying to bring in the harvest. James and I both loved the episode because it was real human drama and acted so well. 




James is so happy about last years flowers

I like the color!

Kona, Hawaii
70th operating temple
Dedicated: 23 Jan 2000
By: Gordon B. Hinckley
(We were in Kona in October 1998)

Jesus Christ, Family of
Acts 1:14
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Book of Mormon
Alma 30:29-45
New Testament "What Wit Thou Have Me To Do?"
Acts 7:1-36



General Conference
The Eye of Faith
Neil L. Andersen
"President Gordon B. Hinckley introduced 'The Family: A Proclamation to the World' with this statement:'With so much of sophistry that is passed off as truth, with so much of deception concerning standards and values, with so much of allurement and enticement to take on the slow stain of the world, we have felt to warn you.'
The proclamation begins: 'All human beings - male and female - are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.'
These are eternal truths. You and I are not an accident of nature."

I sent in the locksmith receipt to Liberty Mutual. Actually I lost the receipt but I sent in a copy of my credit card statement with the locksmith charge on it. Hopefully they will accept it and give me my $50 back.

My left eye and forehead is still swollen and red.

I got a text from Max today thanking me for the birthday card. In the card I told him I was sorry but I have had to cut down on the amount of money I send. I'm grateful that he texted me a thank you because I have felt terrible about having to do it. I wish I could do more for each family member to let them know how much they are loved and appreciated.

We sold another book today. One book at a time. 

I worked on books, walked, paid more bills and fixed myself a burger for lunch. I would have fixed one for James too but he seems to think they aren't healthy and doesn't want one. They may  not be healthy but they sure taste good.

These are today's Christmas movies:

"Christmas Magic"
"Christmas Detour"
"Christmas Journey"

The last one James and I watched together. James loved it. He said I don't usually like Candace Cameron Bure but I really liked her in this one. It's about a girl from the 40's who time travels to 2016 and is able to see the affect her life had on the future. It's a good one and one of my favorites!



 Over 110 in Phoenix.
Think snow!

Such a cute little southern belle!


 I love that you can see mama in the background.

 One of my favorites, both the movie and the guy!
