And Life Rolls On: March 2008

...of our son and brother TONY represents literally thousands of miles, years of study, classroom and Internet instruction, clinical work at hospitals, dealing with oppressive bureaucracies, but included awesome support from Jayanne, the kids, and extended family, doctors, and nurses at the Duchesne County Hospital, plus persistance, integrity, and a desire to serve others. So this is not really just a SIMPLE BADGE. You're Awesome 'Tone'!

Elder M. Russell Ballard counsels...

“I am especially concerned that we communicate openly and clearly with our sons about sexual matters. Your sons are growing up in a world that openly embraces and flaunts early, casual, and thoughtless promiscuity. Your sons simply cannot avoid the blatant sexual imagery, messages, and enticements that are all around them.… Be positive about how wonderful and beautiful physical intimacy can be when it happens within the bounds the Lord has set, including temple covenants and commitments of eternal marriage” (“Fathers and Sons: A Remarkable Relationship,” General Conference, Oct. 3, 2009; Ensign, Nov., 2009).
