"Pressing Toward the Mark"
Elder Edward Dube
Of the Seventy
It is not so much about what we are going through in life but what we are becoming. There is joy in pressing toward the mark. I testify that He who overcame all will help us as we look up to Him.
"Remember Your Way Back Home"
Elder Jose A. Teixeira
Of the Presidency of the Seventy
We have Jesus Christ's perfect example to follow, and the journey toward our eternal home is possible only because of His teachings, His life, and His atoning sacrifice - including His death and glorious Resurrection.
Family Proclamation
#7
The Family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. by divine design, father are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
Inklings
"We come to the Inn as we are, with the foibles and imperfections we each have. Yet we all have something needed to contribute. Our journey to God is often found together."
I was up at 5:30 this morning. James can't find his elk call that works. He also can't find his back brace, which he had on Saturday. This is his favorite time of year because the elk are bugling and he loves to call to them. He is leaving for the valley this morning and will have to take a different back brace than the one he likes. (When he got to the valley he found his back brace in the backseat of his truck.)
James left this morning before 10. This evening he called me and ask if his green pillbox was in the bathroom. Yes, it is. He forgot it and won't be home until tomorrow evening.
I had an appointment this morning with the second counselor in the stake Relief Society presidency, Sister Gilliland. I gave her directions on how to get here because I was quite sure she wouldn't find us on her GPS. She came, she said, to get to know me better. She lives in Lakeside near Rainbow Lake and she and her husband have been here for about 3 years. She is probably my age. She raised her 10 children in Glendale, Arizona. We had visited for awhile about our families when she told me the story of her youngest son who died of complications from Type 2 diabetes. He left behind a wife and 4 children. We shared parenting stories and she told me about the app her family uses to keep in touch. It's called Marco Polo. I've heard of it but I've never used it. She said the reason she likes it is because you can go on and leave a video and other people can see it at their own convenience. We also talked about family history and indexing. She suggested we have a "stand up" meeting every Sunday after the block. You stand up, ask who needs help, and then assign someone to help them. It takes less that 10 minutes. She also stressed the importance of the youth consultants knowing that this is an important calling and they need to help all of the youth do family history.
When Sister Gilliland left I made a trip to town. I got a birthday gift for Sister DeWitt and some more cake baking accessories.
This evening I baked a strawberry cake and I used the high altitude directions. I baked the layers in three 6" round pans. All of the cakes sunk. I then cooked them a little longer which I'm not sure was the right thing to do. I made some cream cheese frosting and mixed it with canned strawberry frosting to make the flavor a mild strawberry and a light pink in color. I frosted the cake and it looked quite good.
I was worried about the layers and how they had sunk and didn't really feel comfortable giving this cake away. I also thought that Collin might not want to eat a pink cake. I wasn't sure about Wendy. I decided then that I was going to make a chocolate cake. Again, I baked 3-6" cakes of chocolate. I did not use the high altitude recipe, just the regular one. These cakes raised and had a "hump" on top. I put them on racks to cool and then wrapped them in plastic wrap thinking I would frost them in the morning. I did the dishes and put the pink cake in the cake carrier. It was 12:30 when I went to bed. I walked over 13,000 steps today.
Happy Birthday Denise!
