Deliveries

I LOVE to get packages in the mail!!! I mean come on who doesn't???
Right now in fact I'm waiting for an Amazon package to come - Love AMAZON (free shipping & no tax)!
Waiting for 3 books (Yearning for the living God:Reflections from the Life of F. Enzio Busche, Sarah:Women of Gensis, and Lemon Tart:A culinary mystery) and also a french fry potato cutter. They should be here on Thursday, trying to wait patiently...

I also really love to open the mail, doesn't matter whose mail, just like to open mail. Kenny is always telling me that it's a federal offense of something official like that when I open his mail (he used to work in the military post office in the beginning of his Army career) - LOL - like he's not going to let me see his mail anyways. I'm just saving him a step ;)

Rebekah - by Orson Scott Card

I am so loving these books and learning more about these characters! I read this one in a few days and am now waiting for the fedex driver to bring Sarah to my door...
Rebekah (Laban's sister) story is a great one!

Rachel & Leah - by Orson Scott Card

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Loved learning more about Rachel, Leah, Jacob, Laban and so many others. I read through this book so quickly, it gave me new insight on these characters. I went out and go Rebekah the following day.

Armor - by Kim B. Clark

Currently reading this book and really enjoying it!
It's a great resource for our fight in this rough world we live in. Both for ourselves as well as the children that we are raising.
Ideas I've been pondering so far...
**The scriptures "teach us & help us beyond our CURRENT understanding - because they are the word of the Lord they can speak to us in new ways that are JUST WHAT WE NEED for the challenges that FACE US NOW.
**Ideas that help - 1)Finding strength in the Lord 2)Spiritual armor (putting on the whole armor of God) 3)Standing for truth and righteousness.
**Just "getting by" is NOT what the Lord has in mind for us. We have been called to "build" the kingdom.
**We are actively engaged in a spiritual battle!
**To become Latter-day Saints - we must develop the qualities of meekness, humility, charity & patience - we can do this through the power of the Atonement
