What a sad day for America! Scott thinks despair defines his feelings about the election and our country. I think it serves as a wake up call for all of us to get our homes and our lives in order because we are going to have to have unequaled strength to endure these last days. We can be so proud of having a candidate with the integrity that Mitt Romney has but integrity just doesn't seem to be that important any more. That is so very sad. Scott and I moped around most of the day then decided we had better go to the temple where we could feel some peace and hope. We did two sessions and on the way home I asked Scott if he felt better. "No, not really." was his answer.
I guess what I feel is determination to do and be better. The temple film has a stark reality. Satan may think he has won a big one but little does he know that it is all part of God's plan anyway and he will not win in the end. Now is the time for us to be strong not weak!
Tonight in one of our sessions there were four women and one man (Scott) One of the women was older and couldn't seem to keep part of her temple clothes on. There was one woman between her and me and the woman was trying to help her. When she finally realized it was to no avail she giggled out of frustration. Then she couldn't stop. She was shaking in her chair trying not to laugh and you know I am such a follower - I can never resist laughing with someone who is laughing, or crying with some one who is crying. The temple matron had given up trying to help. I turned the other way and tried to focus on something besides the shaking chair next to me. It worked but took about all of the focus power I had!! I felt sorry for the giggling woman because she was so embarrassed but just couldn't stop. Every once in awhile a little squeak would come out of her trying to suppress any noise.
It is wonderful to be in the temple with our friends. Most of them work a shift or two at the temple or are full time temple workers.
Nothing new here - thank heavens. Still no power in the kitchen, and no elevator. We are just waiting for Soyla's next move.
