Alma 45:15-46:10
How do we avoid being prideful?
15 - Alma blesses his sons and the earth for righteousness sake.
16 - Alma: Cursed shall be the land unto destruction, which do wickedly.
17 - Alma blesses the Church and all those who should stand fast in the faith from that time henceforth.
18 - Alma departed out of the land of Zarahemla . . . and he was never heard of more; as to his death or burial we know not of.
19 - We know he was a righteous man. The saying went abroad in the Church that he was taken up by the Spirit or buried by the hand of the Lord, even as Moses.
20 - In the 19th year, Helaman went forth to declare the word and his brethren also.
23 - A dissensions arises and the people won't listen to Helaman and his brethren.
24 - The people grew proud because of their riches and would not give heed to their words, to walk uprightly before God.
Alma 46
1 - The nonbelievers gather against the believers.
2 - They were angry (why?), and determined to slay them.
3-4 - Their leader was Amalickiah and they wanted him to be king. Some were lower judges of the land seeking for power.
5 - They were led by the flatteries of Amalickiah.
6 - They were led by Amalickiah's dissensions even though they were high priests in the Church.
7 - Many dissented from the Church because of Amalickiah.
8 - Thus we see how quick the children of men do forget the Lord their God.
9 - One man (or woman), can cause great wickedness among the people.
10 - Amalickiah sough to destroy the Church and the liberty of the people.
According to Bruce R. McConkie, Alma was translated.

GC: "Where Two or Three Are Gathered" by President Eyring.
James helped me make whole wheat pancakes this morning. He was my sou chef. We put blueberries in some of the pancakes. They were quite delicious.
After breakfast Jared, Molly, and I went shopping at Walmart. Molly picked out her birthday cake.
Pink and purple. Molly's favorite color is now purple.
So is Addy's, Ruby's, and Kim's. They can now join
my club.
While Jared was buying groceries, Molly wants ribs for her birthday dinner, Molly and I went clothes shopping. She picked out a pink unicorn shirt. She said Emmy likes unicorns, but she hates pink so she probably wouldn't like the shirt. She got denim leggins, sparkly blue tennis shoes, a purse, some lipstick, and nail polish, both bright red. Here are some pictures in her new outfit.
The stuffed bunny is Abigal, her gift from Jared.
She got to make and dress her at Build-a-Bear.
What a cutie!
Nice pose Molly and such a cute smile.
When we got home there was a big game of Five Crowns going on.
I'm not sure who won.
James did a sleep study last night at a center in Show Low. The results were not good. He stopped breathing 60 times an hour. When they put on the cpap machine it was even worse. They guy doing the study said there were things they could do to help him but he would have to see Dr. Moffat. No wonder he is tired all the time!
Jared made an early dinner, beef stroganoff, and then took his kids into town to see a movie. My mom always made me beef stroganoff for my birthday dinner. Jared, Molly, Anna, and Joe saw "The Secret Lives of Pets." Anna is know for her puns and I guess she was on a roll during the movie. James and Emmy saw the new Jason Bourne movie.
Alex, Seth, and Adam went on a ride to Green's Peak and Alex posted these pictures.
Love it!
Someone posted this picture on Facebook.
It was taken in Show Low.
The bridge cloud and the face of the Grim reaper.
In other news about the Clintons:
There have been over 110 people dead who are associated with the Clinton's since their days in Arkansas. There have been
five in the past few weeks.
I found this on Facebook:
Maybe Hillary and Bill listen to the wrong wolf.
It makes me so sad that Hilary will probably be our
next president. She is not qualified.
I found this house and would love to build it for a guest
house. It might also make a good house for Kim and Brian.
This is so true.
Here are some Throwback Friday pictures. I love that Shoebox posts past pictures for you to look at.
These boys love to build, rather in be blocks
or Legos.
Two years ago.
More pictures two years ago in August.
Anna loves Brian and Lola!
Love these two!
Emmy loves to climb.
At Chino Bambino probably two or three years ago.
Razr fun two years ago.
