I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.”

I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.”  

In April General Conference, 1993, Elder Richard G. Scott taught  “The Lord uses that pattern with us.  You will find correct principles in the teachings of the Savior, His prophets, and the scriptures--especially the Book of Mormon.  While easy to find, true principles are not easy to live until they become an established pattern of life.  They will require you to dislodge false ideas.  They can cause you wrenching battles within the secret chambers of your heart and decisive encounters to overcome temptation, peer pressure, and the false allure of the “easy way out.”  Yet, as you resolutely follow correct principles, you will forge strength of character available to you in times of urgent need.  Your consistent adherence to principle overcomes the alluring yet false life-styles that surround you.  Your faithful compliance to correct principles will generate criticism and ridicule from others, yet the results are so eternally worthwhile that they warrant your every sacrifice.”

For this week it will be a simple task.  Each family will email me a fun idea for next weeks post.  Something fun that you will want to do as a family.  The idea that I use will get the full points.  I may use the second place the next week or I will just pick the idea that I would use next.  Be creative and fun.  Good luck to you all.  Feel free to think about it for awhile this is not have to be posted quickly just by the end of the week.   Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!

Johnson's Song

Silent Night by Val & Jolyn

Ok kids here is your next task.  The first week we gave you all a song.  We are now half way there and are bringing that song back to haunt you.  Remember I told you to be brushing up on it.  Here is your next task.  You will need to sing that Christmas carol you were given as a family and video record it.  All family members (babies are always excluded in all tasks) need to be in the video and singing the best that they can.  Good luck to you all.  Hope you remember your song!!!  

Ok I need a QB.  Who is going to Trade me.  I don't have any good ones.  Never get out of the teens if I get into the teens.  And Tony Romo is now out (not that he was that good anyway)

Welcome to the Party Pal!

It took a while, but we made it. (tams and I)

Words of advice for Kristen...

Josh Gordon is one of the best receivers in the entire NFL... don't trade him right as he's about to come back...


Sorry Jeff... she deserves to know...
