         The new meeting schedule for Church was a good change and we must give the bishopric credit for starting right on time—no “Latin time” today.  Glade went to Church, but is still fighting his cold and sinus issue.  We did manage our evening walk after dinner, however, and a long goal-setting session before we broke our fast.  Glade really took this New Year’s Resolution idea seriously this year and has 50 items on his list!!!

         Here is the next resolution idea:  

         4. Learn more about the gospel

Before Church members can fully live the gospel, they must understand it. Elder M. Russell Ballard taught this important truth:

“In searching the scriptures and the words of past and current apostles and prophets, we should focus on studying, living, and loving the doctrine of Christ,” he taught. “In addition to developing the habit of personal scripture reading, we need to be like the sons of Mosiah and give ourselves ‘to much prayer, and fasting.’ It seems that these things which are not easily measured are of great importance. Stay focused on these simple things, and avoid becoming distracted.”

          Have a great week and good luck keeping your resolutions.   

Good Night!
