"Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven," Christ taught in New Testament ties. And in our day: "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." It is, however, important for some of you living in real anguish to note what He did not say, "You are not allowed to feel true pain or real sorrow from the shattering experiences you have had at the hand of another." Nor did He say, "In order to forgive fully, you have to reenter a toxic relationship or return to an abusive, destructive circumstance." But notwithstanding even the most terrible offenses that might come to us, we can rise above our pain only when we put our feet onto the path of true healing. That path is the forgiving one waled by Jesus of Nazareth, who calls out to each of us, "Come, follow me."

I woke up to the message that we sold another book; "The Indian Triology," the story of the Indian in the cupboard.

In other good news someone deposited $920 in my bank account. Good things to wake up to.

This quote from one of my Hallmark movies of the day, "Lucky in Love:" "It's how we rise to a challenge that defines us."

James and I split, hauled and stacked wood while it was snowing the morning. Snowmageddon is supposed to hit sometime tonight or tomorrow, depending on what part of the state you live in.

I came in from the wood project before James to start the Book Profits webinar. The news for the day is the group coaching, which I would love to do but it costs another $2,000. I would love to be a part of Kris and Kathy's group. Oh well, I guess we will spend out money on buying more books.

Tilapia for lunch. Score: James 3, Karen 1. We both loved it.

We went into town today to check the mail. A book James ordered came but the two books he ordered to trade to Amazon still haven't come and he is supposed to mail them by the 23rd. On the way home we stopped at the library to source some books. We had been working in the .10 cent room for probably 30 minutes when I changed positions and found just the kind of book we were looking for, a textbooks called Anatomy and Physiology. I scanned it and the low Prime price on Amazon was $42.95. Yipee! This made the entire trip worthwhile.

We were supposed to go to the temple today with the Howard's but they cancelled because of the snow. It is supposed to snow all afternoon and evening and they were afraid they would not be able to get back up their road home.

This evening we sold another book, "The Rosie Project." All of this selling is probably the result of James doing some re-pricing.

I inventoried several books this evening. We are selling the anatomy book for $40 and will make $25 if it sells. This is exactly the kind of book we needed.

This book is big...8x10 and about

2-3 inches thick.

Brian texted this evening and wanted to know how much snow we had. Right now it is minimal. He said there was 14" in Payson and 33" in Flagstaff. This storm is coming from the west and the brunt of it has not reached us yet.
