On Being Genuine
It’s official: “there’s nothing wrong … with hiding the dirty dishes before the home teachers come.” It is easy for the desire to look our best to slide into deceit and hypocrisy. Many of the things you can count don’t count and some of the things you can’t count really count. We come to church…

Priesthood and Personal Prayer
All of us must speak and act in the name of God in moments when our unaided judgment will fail us. We do not have to cry out to him with many words … what we need to do is come before Him often and recognize Him. Get that entire quote. It is easier to…

Fatherhood—Our Eternal Destiny
Let our eternal destiny drive all our decisions. My example is clearly not very effective right now. How can I set an example that will influence my children deeply and effectively?

Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying
I have no idea what this one is even about. As God allows us to keep trying He also expects us to allow others to keep trying as well. If we don’t try we’re just latter day sinners. If we don’t persevere we’re just latter day quitters. If we don’t allow others to keep trying…

The Music of the Gospel
“I can teach you to dance but you must hear the music.” Sometimes in our home we teach or children to dance but we don’t teach them to hear the music. We learn the dance steps with our minds but we hear the music with our hearts. No power or influence can or ought to…

Why Marriage, Why Family
This sounds like a really good talk on marriage. I’m busy parenting so I can only listen tangentially. Even if you aren’t able to have the ideal circumstances (not being married or unable to have children) everyone can contribute to the building of succeeding generations.
