Prioritized Daily Task

Luke Olin Lively's 14th Birthday

Open presents at Matthew, Melodie, Madeline, Bella, and Ava's

I got up at 5:30 am and everyone was sleeping.  I went back to bed and Ava came and woke me at 7 AM and we went downstairs.  Everyone was up, Vickie came over, and the family opened presents on and off all day in our PJs.  Ryan face-timed me from Logan, UT, and wished us a Merry Christmas.  I watched KC beat Pitsburg in an NFL game.  I face-timed Debbie in Twin Falls at Tony and Jody's family.  Laura and George were there with Clara and Allison.   I face-timed Beth in Utah, Rae Lynn, and her family in Clovis, CA.  I talked to Michael and later Ethan.  I called Luke Olin Lively in Heber Utah and wished him a happy 14th Birthday. Matthew and Melodie fixed a nice Christmas dinner, sugar cured ham, smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, and rolls.  Matthew cooked the chicken in a Traeger  (Wood Pellet Grill).  Later Melodie and Vickie took the dogs, Sunny and Snowball to a farm in Temecula to stay while they are gone to Utah.  When they got back Matthew and Melodie finish opening their Christmas presents and we had pie for desert.  Matthew and I watched part of a movie with Bella. Vickie went home, Melodie was packing for the trip to Utah tomorrow.  Matthew and I finished washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.  Matthew did most of the work.  He came up to the Casida and worked with his developers.  I talked to Debbie in Twin Falls; she was at a highschool basket ball game.  I had my personal prayer and went to bed.

 27 Jul 2024, Saturday Priorit ized Daily Task  6 pm - take Debbie, Tylee, Jami, and Libby to SLC Airport to catch a flight  to LAX at 8:05 pm and then to Fiji Airlines  on Jet Blue Airline Note:  “God gathers, Satan divides, and Christ unites” Note:  (This is a story I have kept for years.  It has a moral, and I hope it has meaning to you)  Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic. One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. “Why, he’s hardly taller than my eight-year-old,” I thought as I stared at the stooped, shriveled body. But the appalling thing was his face; it was lopsided from swelling and scarred, red, and raw. Yet his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room for just one night....
