Eyring, 74, first counselor, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 67, second counselor. Running from Goodness Maybe every sin is the sin of resisting God. We may resist God because we want to be self-sufficient. Or maybe we resist Him because we find a perverse comfort in our sins. He tells us that we must go boldly to the throne of grace and receive mercy in time of need. Otherwise there can be no healing. But how can we come to Him when we are filthy? He cannot tolerate filth one whit. The very act of turning to Him and putting ourselves in His hands is the requisite act of humility. When we come to Him, He cleanses us as He embraces us. What a friend! |

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(Written after she found out she was dying from cancer).
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it meltedin storage.
I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have sat on the lawn! With my grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me
was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's"; more "I'm sorry's."
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it... Live it and never give it back.
STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.
Instead; let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.
Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.I hope that you have a great day.
The Effects of:
Music in Our Lives
By: Amy Osmond
Have you ever protested a song your child was singing and you heard him say, “Mom, it’s just a song?”
That happened to me with my five-year-old! The other day, my little kindergartener, Maia, was narrating
her life in song. While I can’t remember the exact words, she sang something like “I’m mad that you won’t
let me stay up late; some people don’t like me, and my mom punished me.” I walked into hear room,
heard the song, and said, “Maia, that’s not true at all!” She replied matter-of-factly, “Mom, it’s just a song.”
Then she went back to singing her sad, sad autobiographical narrative. (More)
The Family is the basic unit of society. Intact families fare better than broken
or cohabiting
families in many physical and psychological measures.
Men and women are not interchangeable; boys and girls need a mom and a dad.
The family is under attack and marriage is vulnerable, barring federal marriage amendments.
Examples and ideas to help you solve problems and develop a strong family.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: "Is Sex Sacred or Secret?" "Sex education belongs in the home, where parents can teach chastity in a spiritual environment as they reveal the facts of life to their children about this sacred power. There, in all plainness, the youngsters can be taught that procreation is part of the creative work of God and that, therefore, the act of replenishing the earth must be kept on the high plane of personal purity that God provides, free from all form of perversion. This responsibility should not be left to schools, friends, playmates, or strangers. (More?) Declining birthrates threaten the future of Europe. “The Irish understand that abortion contributes to national suicide. Europeans should be thinking of ways to encourage marriage, child-birth and family life, rather than indulging in their narcissistic infatuation with an atomized individualism”…by elitists who think they know what’s best for the people.” _________________ "Faith may not prevent life's problems but will
help when things go wrong. Bad things happen to good people. Accidents
occur. Some married couples may not be blessed with children. Others may

It is about "God's Plan of Life" . . . which is: "The Family!) "Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother." "Even If All, Not I" ______________ Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Marriage MUST come before Children because every child is entitled to have a

"When evil wants to strike out and disrupt the essence of God's work, it attacks the family. It does so by attempting to disregard the law of chastity, to confuse gender, to desensitize violence, to make crude and blasphemous language the norm, and to make immoral and deviant behavior seem like the rule rather than the exception."
