We wanted to share with you a message our bishop shared today. It was about plans and goals for the new year. He encouraged each of us to list those things most important to us and then to prioritize them and choose goals accordingly. Then the most important thing he said was when he quoted Elder Ashton, which went something like this: we often use as a reason for not doing the things that should have a high priority in our lives that we just didn't have time to do them. If we simply substituted the phrase, it wasn't a priority in my day, week, year, we would probably find the real reason for not doing these things. It's the reason we sometimes fail to make real progress in our life...we fail to do those each day that should be priorities. It's easy to say (justify) I didn't have time, rather than admit the real reason, it wasn't a priority. It's self-indicting, but probably honest. We encourage each of us to take an honest personal inventory of those things in our lives that need to be changed, strengthened, overcome, and accomplished and strive for real personal progress in the coming year. We love you,
Mom and Dad, Non and Pop
