Cathy is not comfortable with undertaking our journey home on a Sunday, as originally planned, with a $50 "new" tire from an unknown, open late Saturday, tire repair shop in Mesa. Can't say as I blame her. We were both amazed to find that our car has no spare tire and, of course, still has no spare tire. So I can easily understand her reluctance. We will go to a local Costco tomorrow and try to get a new tire to match our three remaining Costco tires. Then, hopefully we will be able to get started home.

Today we will just relax and try to enjoy a free day here with Becky and Kevin.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 56:17 Wo unto you poor men, whose hearts are not broken, whose spirits are not contrite, and whose bellies are not satisfied, and whose hands are not stayed from laying hold upon other men’s goods, whose eyes are full of greediness, and who will not labor with your own hands!

18 But blessed are the poor who are pure in heart, whose hearts are broken, and whose spirits are contrite, for they shall see the kingdom of God coming in power and great glory unto their deliverance; for the fatness of the earth shall be theirs.

"I have learned that selfishness has more to do with how we feel about our possessions than how much we have. The poet Wordsworth said, “The world is too much with us; late and soon, / Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” A poor man can be selfish and a rich man generous, but a person obsessed only with getting will have a hard time finding peace in this life."
