I truly believe this.

1 Nephi 4:1-19

Have you ever been "led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which you should do?"  

DC 3:1-10

How can these verses be a comfort to us that when we fall we know that God will help us up?

GC:   How Great the Plan of Our God by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"Our mortal life is only temporary and will end with the death of our physical body.  But the essence of who you and I are will not be destroyed.  Our spirits will continue living and await the Resurrection - a free gift to all by our loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  At the Resurrection our spirits and bodies will be reunited free from pain and physical imperfections."

James is feeling sick too now.  I probably shared with him.  I should probably make us some of my favorite chicken soup, but I am too sick.

Delicious!

I am keeping my infusion appointment tomorrow because they couldn't get me rescheduled until after the 15th and I don't want to wait they long.  My appointment is at 9:15 so we will be leaving by 5:30 in the morning and coming home in the afternoon.  Thank goodness James is here to drive with me.  

I love snow but I am not a fan of driving in it.

I called Lois today and thanked her for all the beautiful Christmas presents.  She embroidered a beautiful Christmas table cloth for me and also got me a new nightgown.  

Jenifer called today and said she would like to come to Jared's wedding as she only lives three hours away from San Antonio and she has a friend who will drive her.  She lives in Del Rio, Texas but is in the San Antonio temple district.  

I also talked to Jared today about travel arrangements.  James and I are driving and will be spending one night in El Paso at Jared's house both coming and going home.  Since it's a 14 hour drive, this is great.  El Paso is about six hours from Chandler which is where we will be leaving from.  

I read to James from our book "Adam ondi-Ahman today, even though I am sick.  While James was working I watched a movie I have seen before, "Honeymoon for One."  Is there such a thing as a Natterjack toad?  James says he thinks there is.  It was mentioned in this movie as living in Ireland.

It was very windy today.  I think a storm is blowing in.  I am sad I have to go to the valley tomorrow just because I feel so lousy.

It's another beautiful day in Arizona!

While I was checking out and taking a picture of the sunrise, James was upstairs "checking out" the wildlife.  Somethings he does just about every morning and evening.  After the checks he comes down and gives me the report.

James fixed himself a big breakfast, but I settle for toast and Lois's homemade pineapple jam.  The jam is delicious!

I am feeling a little better today, so I go in to my computer to pay bills.  After working at the computer an hour or so I go get something to eat and lay down on the recliner to take a nap.  I can't use the bed because I am washing the sheets.  

I read scriptures to James because he has no voice.  I said our prayer and then we read from "The Daughter of Highland Hall."

I watched "A Crush on You", and then James and I went to the post office.  I was reading to James on the way back when Sheri called.  She took the day off and Alex and Ben missed school and they went on a hike with Joe and Michael.  

 This years birthday hike

Last years birthday hike.

I posted on my blog and then made German chocolate cupcakes for dinner.  We also had Tostitos and bean and cheese dip.  The bean dip is delicious and reminds us of Serrano's.  After dinner it's movie time!

 Olaf, waiting to be sent to Ruby.
