Careful or Casual?

Okay, so it has been a bit since we last wrote, but life seems to fly and then when you get a new computer it is a ominous thing to have to redo everything and that takes time to make the new computer feel good like the old one did!

School is buzzing, piano is moving and we are all thinking that time is swirling like the speed of light. This past year flew by and when thinking upon it, I feel like more things in my life have needed to be accomplished. New goal - we are going to make this year a better year for service to others! That is our main family goal this year!

We have a new saying (as of today) in our home! Are you being careful or casual (refer to Henry B. Eyring talk). We had a Great family discussion on this and since we have adopted BYTS ( Be your True Self) our next level of knowledge will be this Careful or Casual) Careful is where we are focusing on those things that will draw us closer to the our Savior. Casual is becoming light-minded in All things, even down to "Are you really listening in family scripture study? " These little sayings seem to really work with our kids and have helped our home become much more unified and helped our older four children keep gospel perspectives in their everyday lives, whether at school, home or with friends! Wayne and I get these blitz of enlightenments that are amazing and we feel so grateful to the Lord for blessing us with these small but powerful gifts to teach all concepts of the gospel to our children.
