"I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase, mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention with depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to that counsel. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity-the pure love of Christ-will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness."

(Marion G. Romney)( I think President Benson said something similar to this also)

COULD YOU USE ANY OF THOSE PROMISES?

President Boyd K. Packer has asked us to spend less time on things of no importance and more time doing things of eternal value. This is REALLY HARD for me because I am an evening TV addict. I used to ask my kids "Can you tell the Lord what is in his scriptures or can you tell him the lines from all the sitcoms and movies you have watched?" (OK I didn't say that word for word that but it was close).

So as I go through withdrawal, the shakes and extreme nervous irritation, just bear with me while I cut back ( I can' t go cold turkey) on the amount of TV I watch.

I love you all, thanks for listening to me rant :D
