Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son

Moses 2:1

And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this heaven, and this earth; write the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God; by mine Only Begotten I created these things; yea, in the beginning I created the heaven, and the earth upon which thou standest.

'Let God Prevail'

President Russell M. Nelson

President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

As you study your scriptures during the next six months, I encourage you to make a list of all that the Lord has promised He will do for covenant Israel. I think you will be astounded! Ponder these promises. Talk about them with your family and friends. Then live and watch for these promises to be fulfilled in your own life.

My dear brothers and sisters, as you choose to let God prevail in your lives, you will experience for yourselves that our God is "a God of miracles." As a people, we are His covenant children, and we will be called by His name. Of this I testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

The Priesthood Power I Receive as a Woman

James asked Sheri if she could send his computer screen and she said she did not have time which means James wants to make a trip town tomorrow or Friday to pick it up.

We had snow again this morning. The trees look absolutely beautiful! Right now it looks like a blizzard. 

As I was listening to Follow Him with Hank Smith, John Bytheway, and Anthony Sweat they encouraged us to read Moses 2-5 along with D&C 29. Joseph Smith was doing his translation of Genesis at the same time as he received D&C 29, as a result much of Moses goes along with this section of the Doctrine and Covenants.

For lunch James took out leftovers from the frig and I cooked some fresh cauliflower and some navy beans with ham.

Even though this was a snow day, it melted very quickly. Poor Luna is a muddy mess. She is totally brown because she loves rolling in the mud. This evening I looked outside and saw a brown animal and thought it was an elk.

Luna is always waiting for feedin' time. James put oats on top of her other lunch. When he poured it in her "bucket" the oats were on the bottom. First she separated the oats from the other grains with her nose. She set the bucket down, picked it up with her teeth and tossed the other grain out on the ground. I think she was trying to send a message to James. We have a horse with an attitude.

James and I watched an older Hallmark movie filmed in Ireland starring Merritt Patterson and Jack Turner.

'We Talk of Christ'

Elder Neil L. Andersen

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

The Book of Mormon is a powerful witness of Jesus Christ. Virtually every page testifies of the Savior and His divine mission. 

In the days ahead, those who believe in Jesus Christ will need the friendship and support of one another.

As the world speaks less of Jesus Christ, let us speak more of Him. As our true colors as His disciples are revealed, many around us will be prepared to listen. As we share the light we have received from Him, His light and His transcendent saving power will shine on those willing to open their hearts. Jesus said, "I . . . come as a light into the world."

I worked on my blog this morning but was only able to do one post before it was time for me to get ready to go to town. We left for town at 10:45. First we stopped at Taco Bell for some lunch. After eating my taco James dropped me off at Dollar Tree while he went to Cal-Ranch and CVS. I forgot my phone so I could not call him when I was ready to be picked up and had to stand out in the cold several minutes before he arrived.

I love Dollar Tree for two reasons. Number one is everything is a dollar and two, they had so many cute things for my Easter baskets!

When James picked me up we went to Walmart to do some grocery shopping. I gave James part of the list, including produce. On that list was minced garlic. He called me twice saying he couldn't find it. When we were ready to check out I went over to the produce department and went directly to where the bottles of minced garlic were and brought one up to show James. "Where did you find that?" "I looked everywhere!"

Baby it's cold outside! I read to James from our e-book "Secrets and Suitors." 

Now we aren't sure that Alex and Seth are coming up and therefore if they don't come they won't bring James's computer screen. Also, Gail sent Seth's birthday card here. Seth can't seem to make up his mind what he is going to do.

I did two blogposts, indexed 100 names, and walked 12,083 steps.

'I Believe in Angels'

Elder Carlos A. Godoy

Of the Presidency of the Seventy

Brothers and sisters, I believe in angels! We are all here today, a giant army of angels set apart for these latter days, to minister to others as extensions of the hands of a loving Creator. I promise that if we are willing to serve, the Lord will give us opportunities to be ministering angels. He knows who needs angelic help, and He will put them in our path. The Lord puts those who need angelic help in our path daily.

I am so grateful for the many angels that the Lord has put in my path throughout my life. They were needed. I am also grateful for HIs gospel that helps us to change and gives us the chance to be better.

He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New.

We woke up to snow this morning. James has to get the dust permits for the Maricopa job so he got the computer first. His new screen is waiting for him at Sheri's. Alex and Seth are coming up Thursday and they will bring it up when they come. 

I had peach cobbler for breakfast. One of the first things I did this morning was look for my Easter creche. I thought I had put it upstairs in Darrel and Trina's room. I moved one box and found it under the box. Instead of putting it on the table near the entry I put it in the kitchen where I can see it more often and be reminded of what the Savior did for me and all the human family. I got out other decorations and put them on the book shelves in the family room. On the table near the entry I put the big Easter basket full of eggs and the bunnies Stacy and I made at a Relief Society activity. For some reason I have three of these bunnies. I don't remember where the third one came from.

James and I took a break this morning and watched the latest Mystery 101 episode entitled, "Killer Timing" starring Jill Wagner,  Kristopher Polaha and Erin Cahill. 

For lunch I made ham sandwiches and then it was rest time. 

As I walked today I listened to the three conference talks listed above and my book, "Forever, Phoebe."

This afternoon we had sunshine which melted most of the snow. 

I made my menu plans for the week and my grocery list. 

I cooked cabbage and hotdogs for dinner. James loved the cabbage!

We watched another Luke Perry, Judge John Goodnight, western.

Sheri texted me that for FHE Ben taught the first discussion on the Restoration.  She said it was so good and everyone was attentive and quiet. He's going to teach the second discussion next week.  

I guess the missionary discussions are a little different than they were when I served as a stake missionary. The first discussion then was The Plan of Our Heavenly Father.

Sheri's delicious chicken tacos!

I want a greenhouse like this or like the

one Trina sent me.
