So, September was a very crazy month as well. But I am going to do better.  I hope to hear more from all of you as well πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰ Last week I was reading in Alma, the war chapters, about how Moroni had the people working hard to prepare and protect there cities.  As I thought about this I thought, we don't really have to face physical battles, but we do face spiritual battles every day.  There are those who oppose and criticize our beliefs, who may mock us or even threaten us. As I pondered this I asked myself how can we prepare and protect ourselves and our families spiritually. I know the standard answers,  - prayer, scripture study, attend meetings, FHE, temple and family history work, etc - but how can we make those things more meaningful in our lives, so that they truly do strengthen, prepare, and protect us and our families, so we are not just "going through the motions".  I am aware of a number of people who for many, many years have been "active in the Church" but not active in the gospel.  And I pondered on what we, as a whole family, can do to help each other.  So, I'm asking for your thoughts and ideas.  We do not live close together, but I think we are still a close family and can help in strengthening and protecting each other.  Let me know your thoughts.
