Cathy had set up an afternoon with Erica to travel up to Salt Lake to visit the FoodNanny store and then go to lunch. Erica, our grand daughter, is doing very well and Cathy has developed a very good relationship with her. She has enjoyed showing Erica how to do a lot of home making activities and Erica seems to enjoy learning. Anyway, Cathy urged me to go along. I had planned to let them just go alone because it seemed like a nice activity for them more as friends rather than grandma and granddaughter but I decided to go ahead and go. I think that turned out to be a good choice because traffic was the worst that I can remember both going and coming and I drove. Cathy is a good driver but she struggles some with heavy traffic and in finding her way in unfamiliar areas. We both when it was over agreed that it had been a very good idea for me to drive because traffic was worse than anytime I can remember. We had lunch at a nice little Cafe called Nomad East near 1700 east on 1300 South. Erica and I shared a really good pizza and Cathy had a salad. They had no glutton free  stuff other than salad.

I noticed this morning that my GMI was down again to 6.8 which is a very good thing. GMI is glucose management indicator and is an indicator of one's A1C. For a diabetic, an A1C reading of 6.8 is very good. So good news.

We are going to the Woodland Biscuit Company for breakfast today. This is a sort of chic Cafe according to Cathy. It's out near Kamas and we're taking Jake and Meredith with us. Should be fun.

Come Follow Me 

Alma 41:14 Therefore, my son, see that you are merciful unto your brethren; deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually; and if ye do all these things then shall ye receive your reward; yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto you again; ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again; and ye shall have good rewarded unto you again.

"The Apostle Paul said that persons who have received the Spirit of God “have the mind of Christ”. I understand this to mean that persons who are proceeding toward the needed conversion are beginning to see things as our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, see them. They are hearing His voice instead of the voice of the world, and they are doing things in His way instead of by the ways of the world."
