Prioritized Daily Task 

Debbie and I have our personal prayers, then we pray together and study scriptures or related documents to feed our spirits before feeding our bodies in the morning and before resting our bodies at night, every day.

I had a dream last night.  It was in location of dreams I had while I was in Serbia.  I was in a location somewhere I was familiar with but have no idea of where the actual location is.  I had one of a couple or more nursing homes.  At the oldest nursing home I was working to make arrangments to replace.  I was having difficulty with employees not doing the work assigned to them.  I was away and on returning a young man I recognized as Joseph Smith Jr. was cleaning the patients' bathrooms.  He had been working for a week or more without anypay doing the work those who were being paid had not and were not doing.  I told the cooks to feed him and the administrator to make sure he has everything he needs.  He would still not take any money.  When I woke I had not idea what the dream meant but after I returned from exercising at the Legacy Center it came to me that one month ago today was the 32nd anniversary of my Dad's death, 10 January 1989.  I had not thought of my father for some time and certainly not of the date of his death.

8 AM - Legacy center to exercise 
8 AM - Tylee came over and helped Debbie for a few hours to do spring cleaning upstairs in the grandchildren play and sleep room

I sent the following email to Michael, Matthew, Beth, Rae Lynn, Gavin and Alexandra.

I hope you will take the time this email deserves because I have included some things, I hope you and future generations will take seriously.  Each of you have your free agency and those yet to be born will have their agency to choose.

 

This information should not take much over an hour and after you are finished, you will know why I have done and am doing the things with the farm in Haralson County near Tallapoosa that I am doing.

 

Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fH7DqZtKsU

much of it parallels Bartram, Travels and Other Writings.

When you have finished you will know my thought on how I would like the land to be restored and maintained.

 

I love each of you.

 

Signed,

James Leonard McAlpin, son of James Olin McAlpin, son of Robert Alexander McAlpin, son of Thomas Jefferson McAlpin, son of William Alexander and Mannah McAlpin
