Wednesday
Thankful for...
A good home cooked meal.  I have been crafting and our dining room table has been occupied!  Only 4 can fit around our kitchen table.  That is where the kids have eaten the last few nights.  Tonight I cooked us a good dinner and the kids and I ate at the dining room table.  Dinners together are good.

Study time...
Mosiah 26:3 - '... because of their unbelief they could not understand...'  Faith is the first principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  If you don't believe Him how can you understand Him?
Sherri Dew said, 'Faith is a principle of action. It is our willingness to believe in the Savior that unleashes His power in our lives.'

I appreciate the situation of Alma not knowing how to handle certain church protocol.  Where did he go?  First he went to king Mosiah and tried to get him to deal with it.  But, Mosiah didn't want to, these were church matters, rightfully so.  He received his answers straight from the Lord.  He 'poured out his whole soul' before the Lord told him what to do and how to handle it.  I have total confidence things are handled in the same way today.

ch 27 - King Mosiah finally sends out a decree that basically tells everyone to be nice to each other.  Let people believe what they want w/o persecution.  We have been hearing the same words over the last several years from the Prophet, we are no better than any man.  Be kind to those around us.  We don't want to be persecuted for what we believe and certainly should do the same unto others.

Took the kids to playgroup today, shocker!!!  They had a great time at the mall play yard.  We even did lunch and a carousel ride.  We had fun me and my boys.
