I read about the martyrdom of Stephen today and watched the video in the "Come Follow Me" lesson. I read this quote for the New Testament Student Manual: "Stephen's declaration that his accusers were like their forefathers and had rejected the Savior is what ultimately led to his martyrdom."

Feasting Upon the Words of Christ

"Enos likewise shared his personal experience of the enlightenment that comes from contemplating the words of Christ. As Enos let the words that his father taught him regarding 'eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sink deep into his heart,' his soul 'hungered; and he kneeled down before his Maker ... in mighty prayer' (Enos 1:3-4). In that prayer he came to know the Savior and learned that we have great worth, are loved and can be forgiven of our mistakes, and are truly children of God."
James went to work at the Howard's this morning. He was gone a couple of hours and then he came back home. He needed to go to Springerville to get a couple of log spindles for the railing he is making and wanted to know if I wanted to go with him. I am beginning to get cabin fever and I said yes I wanted to go as long as I didn't have to see anyone face to face. He assured me all he was doing was going to pick up the spindles and then we could go to a drive thru for lunch.
The drive to Springerville is pretty desolate but I do love Eagar and the drive up the 260 to the log place. The place is owned by the Nicoll family who are also from Ramah, New Mexico and James knows them.
I tell him I'm just going to wait in the car and he says it shouldn't be too long. Well after 15 minutes I begin to wonder what's going on. It's about 85 degrees outside and my arm is in the sun and getting hot. I'ms afraid because I am on methotrexate that it's going to break out like it used too when I would work in the yard when we lived in Chandler.
I texted James and he texted back, "Just a few more minutes." Ten more minutes went by and I rolled up the windows and turned on the air conditioning. Five minutes later he threw the spindles in the back seat and said he was sorry. I said, "I thought the order was ready." He said, "So did I but evidently it wasn't and they had to make them on the spot."
We drove back into Eagar and ate at the Aliberto's. I had two beef tacos and James had the carnitas. We drove to the McDonald's parking lot and ate our food. Afterwards James went and got me an ice cream. It was a nice outing even though I had to wait in the car so long.
Here are the Christmas movies for the day: "Sounds of Christmas," "Christmas Bells Are Ringing," and "Operation Christmas."
I forgot something that happened on Monday that I am going to tell about here. My friend Cammy, a sister I minister to and her family, love "When Calls the Heart." They have watched all of the past seasons but don't have "live" TV so they have not seen the latest season. I had told them I would have them over to watch this seasons episodes. I texted her Monday to explain that I was sick and would have to postpone for awhile. She texted back and ask if she and the kids could bring us some bread and some get well cards the kids had made. I told her that I really couldn't see anyone right now and she said, "Well, we will leave them out on the rocking chair on your front porch."
A while later the door bell rang. James went to the door and sure enough, there on the rocking chair was a beautiful loaf of Cammy's homemade wheat bread and several get well cards the kids had made.
Cammy's wheat bread is the best James has ever tasted. Those are his words. When he texted her to thank her he ask if she would give him the recipe so we could make it. She said she would do better than that, she would show him how to make it whenever he was ready. My husband is going to learn how to make homemade bread! I'm so excited!
I don't know how I forgot to tell this story on Monday but we are most grateful for the Grapp family. Cammy offered to bring us dinner but I told her the bread was enough. She said they would be praying for us. I said that would be wonderful!

You threw away the ice cream?
Go for the gusto!
So happy for these girls!
