DJ, I understand what you are saying. But, at my age it is important to have social contacts outside of our home life. I have found that if you want or need social contacts, I have to make the effort to connect. I can't wait for someone to come to me and talk more openly. For example, we had a Hallo...

I've been asking myself the question: why do I go to church? My wife & I have been going back to church (since our FC) about 12 years. We recently moved into a new ward & stake. We could of stayed home & waited for someone to contact us. Instead, one of the first things we did was find t...

Over the years there have been many good discussions about our personal lives, doctrine & the other teachings of the church. Of the topics I've highlighted, I don't think I commented on any of them. I think my future efforts will be to review the "old" posts. There is a lot of wisdom t...

A similar question for me is: why didn't he choose Elder Uchtdorf?
