Jesus Christ, Creator
Psalms 33:6
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of the by the breath of his mouth.
Book of Mormon
Alma 27:16-28:8
*What has the Lord done to help you keep your covenants?
-He has given me the gift of the Holy Ghost. He has given me scriptures. He has organized, and provided The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with weekly meetings to educate, teach, inspire and encourage me. He has given us lds.org. I'm so very grateful that the Lord is willing and able to give all these amazing gifts and very real help to everyone seeing truth and light. We are truly blessed!
Old Testament
2 Chronicles 1-2
1 The Lord honors Solomon before all Israel - The Lord appears to him - Solomon chooses and is given wisdom - His kingdom is blessed with splendor and riches.
2 Solomon engages Huram of Tyre to supply timber for the temple - Laborers are organized to do the work.

"Those who know him well would speak of President Nelson facing the difficulties of life with faith and courage. When cancer took the life of his 37 year old daughter, Emily, leaving a loving husband and five small children, I heard him say, 'I was her father, a medical doctor, and an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, but I had to bow my head and acknowledge, 'Not my will but thine be done.'"
I love this!
I know it's a day late but I couldn't pass up

I want this is my yard!
Trina went to work this morning. Darrel has a remodeling project he is doing today. James and I are taking Lola to Build-a-Bear later this morning but first we had to drop off my old phone at the UPS store and go shopping at Fry's for dinner.
Nice work, Darrel!
James helped me with the shopping. We got skim milk for Addy because Darrel forgot, and stuff to make flank steak tacos. We went back home and Addy had gotten all the spices out for me. She was now gone to the gym with Darrel so I couldn't thank her until later.
I made the marinade, rubbed it all over the steak on both sides, and then put the steak in the crockpot. Lola waited patiently.
All the way over to San Tan Mall she talked about going to her mall. When we got to the store and she saw that it was outside she said: "This isn't my mall." I told her that I didn't think her mall had a Build-a-Bear store and that's why we couldn't got there. That seemed to satisfy her.
Once we were inside we found three my little ponies. I thought for sure she would be excited about them. She looked at them and said: "But I want a plastic one." We looked around for awhile and then I ordered her a plastic pony, "Serenade," off Amazon before we left the store.
I have never taken a kid shopping who couldn't find anything they wanted in a kid store.
I told Lola we were going to lunch at Olive Garden and she said, "but I want to go to Chili's." I told her Olive Garden was just as good as Chili's. She started to get a little emotional. I think she is a little hungry.
When we got to Olive Garden she remembered that was where I took her before and she was fine with it. She ordered mac and cheese with grapes, french fries, and a Sprite.
She started out sitting next to James but when he wouldn't play the video game with her she moved over to my side. We played a trivia game that was alot of fun and I think James was a little jealous.
Lola ate all of her mac and cheese and a breadstick and seemed to be much happier.
We went home empty handed and had to explain to everyone why we didn't get a stuffed pony.
James and I were a little tired so we took a nap.
When James got up he gave Darrel some advice about his remodeling and I started making dinner. I caught James after he was done helping Jared and asked him to shred the meat while I chopped the veggies, and got out the rest of the taco toppings.
I heated up the tortillas, both corn and flour and it was time to eat. The meat was good and everyone seemed to like it, including Ruby and Rowan. Lola didn't feel like eating. She just had a peanut butter sandwich right before dinner.
After the sun went down we all went to the grassy area to play croquet. This is the first time Ruby has used her croquet set. It started getting dark before we could finish the game but it was fun.
When we returned home Trina was there. She went to pick up Addy soon after we got back. Trina tried the taco meat and asked me for the recipe. Addy said she was sorry she missed the tacos but would try them tomorrow.
Time for bed.

I got this from Darrel and Trina's
