Christian Fiction
Physical Book
This is a hard book to rate.
It is rough. It immerses the
reader in a world that you don’t want to be in.
But it is powerful and, well, redeeming.
It is a most memorable story that teaches about judgment and Christ-like
love. Am I glad I read it? Not yet.
But the longer it goes since I finished it, I forget the atrocities and
evil and remember the lessons and the love.
Do I recommend it? Not yet. Maybe.
In time. Maybe.
Elder Richard G. Scott said this in 1995. I love the imagery of packets of light. I find them in the scriptures, in other people, in sermons, and in conference talks. I feel His love in those little packets.

July, 2026 I just finished reading
this most important book on the earth - again. I love this book. I know it is
the word of God. As soon as I finish reading it (I read from it every day) I
start again. I am always reading the Book of Mormon. It is truth!
Friday morning at 8 am, Kristen does a Refit class at their church. Kristen, Shonna, and Michelle went to participate and Ken and I went to watch. It was fun to see what she does.

| Morning hair. This kid has great hair! |
 |
| Kristen has an amazing thing going. She has three different teachers, including herself. The gym is darkened, but there are colorful lights and the stage is lit. The leader dances on the stage. The gym is full of women dancing. She has a playlist and the teachers know when their turn is next and go up to lead. There is such a happy atmosphere. |
 |
| She sent a video to her sisters beforehand, and they learned a dance to help lead it. |
 |
| After the dancing they all sit in a circle and share. We were surprised when she honored us. |
 |
| After breakfast, we gathered for devotional. |
 |
| And of course, put on 4th of July sparkles. |

| We made a picnic then headed to a beautiful local park. for several hours. There were many lawn games. |

| After a delicious dinner, the kids watched a movie and played games while the adults went back to the Rexburg temple to do sealings. It was such a sweet experience. |
