We rejoice that more temples are being built across the world. With the dedication of each new temple, additional godly power comes into the world to strengthen us and counteracts the intensifying efforts of the adversary.
I've decided if I am going to get up at 4 o'clock, I need to go to bed by 9. I am very tired this morning.
I listened to a talk that Kacey recommended by Sheri Dew called, "Prophets Can See Around Corners." It was really good. I love my gospel study time!
Around 11 I went in to fix myself some lunch. James asked me to go to town with him. He guilted me in to going. We stopped at the post office and Sonic. Those were the only two stops that I had anything to do with. We were in the truck so James could pick up some pipe for Barbara B's job. He bought several large pipe from Central Arizona Plumbing. He forgot to get caps for the ends of the pipe so we stopped at Home Depot. They didn't have what he needed so we went across the street to Lowe's where he found everything he was looking for. Usually it's the other way around. A point for Lowe's.
We dropped the pipe off at Barbara's on the way home. She was outside talking to Brother Skousen who was doing something to help her. She came over to the truck to talk to us. She had some news. Her son and his family are not coming. She has spent so much money for this home for them as a gift and now they are not coming. It is too rural here. They don't want to travel 25 miles to buy groceries. The mobile home cost her $175,000, plus all of the cost to have it installed. Barbara always cheerful and with an optimistic attitude says, "It's going to be my home now."
I went home and took a nap and then when I got up I worked on my budget, walked, and watched a new Christmas movie, "A Royal Christmas on Ice." It was okay, very predictable.
James had a productive day. Along with getting the pipes he needed for Barbara's job he fixed the log splitter and finished our rocket stove. He actually made a new one and drilled the hole in the dining room, leaving metal shards on the table and floor. I'm not complaining, just telling it like it is. I was grateful he finished the rocket stove. All we need now is some gravel and a grate for the top. I can get the gravel outside and will order a grate from Amazon.
The Wilhelm kids always sell pies to raise money for their wrestling programs. I hadn't received a call from any of them so I was wondering if they were selling this year. I was on Facebook where Sandra announced that orders needed to be in this week. I ordered four pies: triple berry, cherry, key lime, and pumpkin. Pumpkin is my favorite, key lime is for James, cherry is for Stacy, and triple berry is what I made for Sheri's birthday and it was so delicious I wanted to try it again.
This evening I watched "Dancing with the Stars." It was 90's night and they played hiphop/rap music and it was not to my liking. There was a double elimination. Heidi had the least amount of points/votes so she was eliminated first. Then it was between Vinnie and Trevor. Trevor got votes from Carrie Ann, Derek, and Bruno so Vinnie is going home...finally! He is always at the bottom of the leader board and he really is the worst dancer.
