Long Cool Sunday

I didn't get the sacrament today.  I usually sit in the foyer, mostly because of Richard's discomfort, but he wasn't with me today.  When I realized the Sacrament portion of the meeting had concluded with none of the deacons coming to the foyer I decided it was a bit too late to give noticed that the few of us had been passed over.  I left before Relief Society after a strange visit with Diana Graham.  I let the chickens out before going to church and they apparently took a bit of sun before cooping up for the night.  Although I had vowed not to use Amazon so casually, I bought a pair of burgundy boots late in the evening.  When I weighed this morning I was just under 150 lbs., which is good in some ways.  My ketones were 1 and my glucose 91, both of which measurements are okay.  I feel satisfied at this time and don't anticipate I will eat anything before bedtime.  I went back on Facebook after a week of abstinence and not much has changed.  I am surprised at the level of ignorance about the Book of Mormon displayed by many if not most members of the Church.  While I believe the Book must be judged from a faithful perspective, for after all, it claims first of all to be a miraculous gift of God, given that I accept the existence of miracles and the evidence, once one accepts the possibility of miracles, is overwhelming, I can only believe it is the Word of God.
