My thoughts on President Monson's talk "Examples of Righteousness"
"My young friends, be strong. The philosophies of men surround us. The face of sin often wears the mask of tolerance. do not be deceived; behind the facade is heartache, unhappiness and pain."
Never were more true words spoken.
“My brethren, I reiterate that, as holders of the priesthood of God, it is our duty to live our lives in such a way that we may be examples of righteousness for others to follow.”
What kind of an example am I?

A 12-Year-Old Deacon
My thoughts on Elder Madsen's talk "A 12-Year-Old Deacon"
I LOVED THIS TALK! Maybe it is because I have a 12 year old deacon (that is until tomorrow) and then I have to wait 13 months for my next 12 year old deacon.
Elder Madsen asks a great question, “What do you see” and then “What can you see?”
“I trust and pray that we can all see their divine potential; that we can see them going forth as bearers of the holy priesthood and as missionaries preaching ‘the everlasting gospel’ by the Spirit ‘to the nations of the earth’, that we can see them as faithful husbands and fathers and as valiant servants in the leaders of the Church and kingdom of God in these latter days.”
This has ALWAYS been my goal, desire, wish, hope, whatever you want to call it. This is my purpose as a mother—to do whatever is right and necessary to see that the above statement comes true for each one of my boys (and my girl—only she will be a “holder” of the priesthood ~smile~). Everything I do is to bring about this end. My goal as a homeschooler is to prepare my sons to be bread winners, helpmeets, great citizens, honorable priesthood holders, faithful husbands, great dads and just plain neat guys. Like wise I’m raising my daughter to be one of those herselves and to find someone who is just like them. It is my daily prayer! But it is dang hard!

Do You Know Who You Are?
My thoughts on Brother Burgress' talk "Do You Know Who You Are?"
“Remember you’re a child of God.” Was always the last thing I would here when I left the house. My mom never let me forget I was an Ostler and a Child of God. I really should try to do that with my boys and girl.
Brother Burgess tells us three things we need to ask ourselves—DAILY!
“First do you know that you are a son of God?”
“You are important to a loving Father in Heaven! Young men, pray always! Your prayers both morning and night will help you come to know that you are a son of God.”
I truly do not know how else you can find out that our Father in Heaven is “loving” and that you are truly his child unless you are praying. My mom can’t drill it into me, my husband can’t, my children can’t, the sacrament meeting speaker, the teacher, the prophet. Only through the Holy Spirit while praying do we come to know this. Even if the prayer is only a silent desire to know.
But how do we as parents “drill” it into our children?
“Second, do you know who you are in God’s plan?”
“As part of Heavenly Father’s plan, you are sent to an earthly home and to a family. The coventants you make in God’s plan, as an individual and as part of a family, will bind you forever in your family and in the family of God for all eternity. Honor and respect those names you bear. Live the standards and the commandments of God. Allow other to know who you are by the way you live the standards, as found in the For the Strength of Youth booklet. Study, ponder, and live these divine standards. They are for you!”
We had a bishop you would show the adults the SOY (Strength of Youth) booklet and have his thumb coving the “th” and say, “This is For the Strength of YOU!” it truly is a guide for every member of the church. Why would it be any different for us as adults than for the youth of the church? We have to live the same standards.
When we talk about raising the bar, I remind my children that in truth the bar wasn’t raise, Satan just dug the dirt out from under it. When I was a youth, even when my mom was a youth, if you committed a sin, you still had to repent. Smoking, drinking, pornography, sexual sins, etc will all still sins. You did them, you saw the bishop to clear things up. Today, you do them, you see the bishop. Now the methods of delivery and the amount of it around us has only increased. The same sins are still around. Knowing God’s plan and that you belong to the plan help us make the decision not to go down that path.
“Third, do you know who you are as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?”
The blessings of baptism are great—just listen to them said every Sunday during the sacrament prayers! WOW! “always have his spirit to be with us” Can’t get any better than that.
“I testify that knowing who you are and keeping your promises and covenants with the Lord will bring you happiness in your life.”
Now if only we believe it completely, especially during the times of trials.

A Matter of a Few Degrees
My thoughts on President Uchtdorf's talk "A Matter of a Few Degrees"
How absolutely horrible to that such a tragedy could have been prevented by just a few degrees or correction. How horrible to think that many of our friends and neighbors could be saved by just a little correction in their lives.
There are many examples in the scriptures of those who needed only a small correction in a moment of weakness; King Saul as Pres. Uchtdorf points out, but I wonder how many great ones we don’t know about. I think of Alma who did get a course correction.
“Small errors and minor drifts away from the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring sorrowful consequences into our lives. It is therefore of critical importance that we become self-disciplined enough to make early and decisive corrections to get back on the right track and not wait or hope that errors will somehow correct themselves.”
I know this was given during the Priesthood session, but I know he is speaking to me personally and more importantly as the mother of five Priesthood holders. As their mother it is so important for me as their guide to make sure they have set their course on the correct path. To make sure that they are watchful for the signs of course deviation and make those correction necessary to bring them back in line with the proper path. That the Iron Rod isn’t just word play, but a book that means something to them. And of course, I also need to look in the mirror. Does my charted course and actually course match up?
But what happens when they do get off a bit. Many scriptures tell us what we need to do, even the fourth Article of Faith tells us what we need to do. Repent!

And Who is My Neighbor?"
My thoughts on Bishop Burton's talk "And Who is My Neighbor?"
I love the way we, the church, without ceremony, without media, go about doing good. I know there isn’t much “doctrine” in this talk, but there is much love and warmth. I was part of the “helping hands” that helped those in the NW with the floods that hit us last December. I didn’t do much. I just tied a quilt. I truly didn’t do much as others spent days, weeks and even months trying to help those people. I didn’t do much. I just spent 10 hours hemming quilts for new baby kits for a scouts eagle project. It was only 10 hours—only 40 blankets. I didn’t do much when my son asked me to help him with his eagle project: making wood block kits for the church to give to under privilege kids. I just helped a young man reach out. We all don’t do much, but together we do a lot and we do make a difference.
We may not help in the big things--earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes—but we do help when we hold a child’s hand, comfort a sister in need, take a dinner over or just listen. We truly are serving our God when we serve his people.

Give Heed Unto the Prophets' Words
My thoughts on Elder Cook's talk "Give Heed Unto the Prophets' Words"
As I was reading this I was thinking, “This isn’t ringing a bell. I don’t remember any mention of crisis and fire.” Then in the second paragraph, I realize he is speaking at the Priesthood session. Sometimes it take a bit of time for my lights to come on all the way.
“…it is also valiant today to follow the counsel of our prophet.”
I love D&C 1:38 “What I the Lord have spoke, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; …whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.” I use this as my guiding stick. Sometimes they are hard to do and other times they are easy.
“Prophets are inspired to provide us with prophetic priorities to protect us from danger.” Elder Cook gives examples of how the prophets have spoken of dangers way before the world knew. Who knew about the ill effects of coffee, tobacco, drugs etc in the 1800’s? Who knew the family would be under attack like never before?
I want to share something with you. I don’t recall when I heard this, but I want to say it was from President Benson’s lips. I have searched and can’t find the direct quote. If you know the quote, day, time, setting, please, please email me! But I know it was after 1989 because I was married and it was devastating for me to do what the prophet asked. I do know that in the “True to the Faith” book it says on page 27 “Latter-day prophets strongly discourage the piercing of the body except for medical purpose. If girls or women desire to have their ears pierced, they are encouraged to wear only one pair of modest earrings.”
Ok, this rocked my world. How could something so little and insignificant rock the world ofa grown woman? Well it did! When I was 14 I got my ears pierced. I love it since my earlobes are detached. Earrings looked great. When I was 16 my mom took me down to get a second piercing in my right ear. She must have saved a ton of money because she bought me a real pearl earring. She told me that I was to wait for the “right” man who would treat me as a “pearl” of great price. And when that day would come I was then to go get my left ear pierced and have my husband put in a diamond earring signifying that I had “left” my father’s home for a man who was worthy to put a “diamond” on my finger. I wore a pearl and diamond in a mismatched set until I heard the words of the prophet ask me to remove them. My heart broke. I pleaded with Him to let me keep them. This was different. They weren’t gaudy pieces of jewelry. They meant the world to me. My mother had to pay a LOT of money for those pearl earrings and I know my husband didn’t have the money to fulfill my mother’s wishes, but somehow we managed. Now I had to take them out. I went to bed that night with those same earring in my ears and with a very heavy heart. But that was the last night I slept with four earrings. The next morning with tears running down my face I removed them because the prophet asked me to.
I thought the holes would fill in and never be seen again. I was wrong. To this day I could easily slip a pair of earring in them and often times when I’m putting my set in blindly I will then look in the mirror to see one earring higher than the other. They have not filled in or healed. I still have four holes in my head and a mismatched set of earrings in my jewelry box.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ"
My thoughts on Elder Perry's talk "The Gospel of Jesus Christ"
Elder Perry speaks to my heart. I collect cookbooks because of the pictures. When my mom was sane she use to give me a cookbook for my birthday every year. They were always themed. My favorite was the chocolate one. I gained 10 pounds just going through the cake section. But these aren’t just any ordinary cookbook, no they have a picture on every page! I love those cookbooks—never use them, but occasionally I crack them out to drool over the pictures. I don’t know how to cook or bake so I just drool. Elder Perry’s statement I can testify is truthful. “..there are pictures of the prefect dishes that recipes make—the fullness of the joy of cooking.” That is what those cookbooks are for me. My problem is that I know the agony of defeat in the kitchen all too well to know not to even start the process. But that could change. I could go to cooking or baking school. I could hire a private tutor. I could watch lots of cooking shows (which I do). And here is the one that gets me all the time: practice. I could do a lot of things to increase my chances of success.
I believe that is the same for the gospel. We know how it will end. Nephi has shown us that. We could be standing by the tree cheering on our loved ones who are walking the straight and narrow while holding to the rod of iron and/or weeping for those we love who are letting go or worse who are in the great and spacious building. Now how we get to that picture is through classes (church), hire a private tutor (home/visiting teachers & bishop), watch lots of cooking shows (conference and other church videos—and articles) and then practice (just live the gospel). I think I too can achieve this as well.
“It is important to begin with the end in mind, but the end represented by pictures in cookbooks is an end that is only possible if everything is done right.” That is usually my problem in cooking. I substitute and find out I don’t have something and then it doesn’t end up like the picture. “If directions are not followed or an ingredient is left out or miscalculated, the desired taste and appearance are seldom attained.” Oh, that’s my problem ~smile~. “The picture of a perfect dish, however, can serve as motivation to try again to create something that ids both delicious and beautiful.” I love how he didn’t say nutritious—because I love my chocolate cookbook.
Seriously though, he speaks wisdom. I make pancakes almost every morning and have the recipe memorized now. I can make them perfectly when not distracted. When I kid starts speaking to me I’m not sure how many eggs I cracked or how many teaspoons of baking powder I’ve put in. Worse yet, is I forget to flip them and one side is not the shade of brown I’m striving for. When I follow those instructions—memorized or not—I get the perfect back of buttermilk pancakes every time. The same goes for our life. When we follow the direction—memorized or not—we get the prefect life, or at least the life that leads us to perfection.
But unlike my pancakes, there is more to The Gospel of Jesus Christ than just buttermilk, eggs, flour and a few other things. The Gospel starts out with faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost but there is that last ingredient—enduring to the end that is so hard and difficult. And just like my pancakes which I make every morning, we too must start over constantly, weekly, even daily with faith, repentance, sacrament, Holy Ghost and that enduring to make that perfect being.
A few quote that I love:
“…we must humble ourselves before Him—off our sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit and accept His will.” I’ve heard it said that since EVERYTHING is his the only thing we can give him is our will and yet it is the hardest to give.
“Baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost are the prescribed ways to enter the strait and narrow path to eternal life.” Kind of like trying to cheat on your diet. You know exactly how to lose weight, but you cheat and the weight doesn’t come off. There is only one way to the path—no cheating is allowed.
Enduring—oh how I hate that word. Reminds me of the end of my pregnancies. “First, it requires the Savior’s redemptive power.” WOW! ”second, enduring to the end requires the Holy Ghost.” Good thing we get it just before we have to start enduring. “Third…serving and receiving service from our brothers and sisters in the gospel.” I got the serving, but receiving? Now that’s hard. But be careful the Lord has a way of humbling you into receiving. “Fourth, we must share the gospel with others.” As moms we do it daily with our children, extending that is hard. It is tough seeing someone trample on things you hold in the center of your heart. Hopefully being an example will qualify. “finally… are praying, fasting and reading the scriptures.” I want to add, with a sincere heart.
I’m sure I can create the prefect dish if I follow the recipe. I have all the ingredients and I even have many helpers, but it is up to ME to put then in my life and create it.
