Humility
"Humility is not something reserved to be taught only to children. We must all strive to become more humble. Humility is essential to gain the blessings of the gospel. Humility enables us to have broken hearts when we sin or make mistakes and makes it possible for us to repent. Humility enables us to be better parents, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, neighbors and friends."—Elder Steven E. Snow, "Be Thou Humble"

Today's Reading in the Book of Mormon
The BoM definitely is an example written for our time.
"For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted. Yea, and this was not all; they were a stiffnecked people, insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice, save it were to their destruction." Helaman 5: 2-3.
Not only were they corrupting their laws, they were too proud to obey God's laws and commandments. Let us be humble enough to be obedient to His laws in all the ways we can.

Importance of Temple Attendance
"As we go to the holy house, as we remember the covenants we make therein, we will be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation."

Angels to help us in this life
President Joseph F. Smith declared: “When messengers are sent to minister to the inhabitants of this earth, they are not strangers, but from the ranks of our kindred [and] friends . . . . In like manner, our fathers and mothers, brothers, sisters, and friends who have passed away from this earth, having been faithful, and worthy to enjoy these rights and privileges, may have a mission given them to visit their relatives and friends upon the earth again, bringing from the divine Presence messages of love, of warning, of reproof and instruction to those whom they had learned to love in the flesh.”
So, could you use a little more help in your life? If so, keep your covenants with more exactness than you ever have before! And then ask for angels (a.k.a. your ancestors and other loved ones) to help you with whatever you need. Or ask for them to be dispatched to help those you love!
When you experience trials in your life...
Stand steady and continue in the faith.
Stand still and see the handiwork of God in the fabric of your life.

Sabbath Day Activity
I have digital copy of Gramdpa Vern's Plan of Salvation Chart. It's great for a Sunday activity. Also, try reading a story from your ancestor stories book you each have. Some of the grandchildren are reading them. Just an idea you can use on a Sunday afternoon.

Family History
So, we were doing some family history today on Family Search. Emily was browsing through her ancestors on Kristen's line (which happens to have had some professional geneologists), and Emily found this line:
Yes, we found ancestors that include David, Ruth... along with Abraham, Noah, Methuselah, and here you see Adam (through Seth). We took a screenshot of it just for fun. However, the bad news was that it states there is not enough information to do Adam's temple work. Maybe someday he will get it done though.

Tournament Time!
I'm not collecting brackets or scoring them, but to whoever decides to take this on, here's a link to where you can build one to print on ESPN. Let me know who wants to score and I will email them my bracket. I've chosen to make my picks in reverse alphabetical order this year, so Yale will be winning it all...

Speaking of being a mother...
You Know You're a Bad Mom If...I thought this was hilarious, and dead on.
Are you guilty of any of these mom misdemeanors?
