Men

If you are raising a son, I strongly recommend watching this video by Elder D. Todd Christofferson:

Some of the lines that stood out for me:

• Life is not a competition between men and women.
• Adult men need to be worthy models, to teach young men...how to pursue hobbies without becoming addicted.
• We have a perfect Master who wrought a perfect Atonement.
• The church, world, and women are crying for men of God.

Being a More Christian Christian

I listened to this talk today by Elder Robert D. Hales and was especially impacted by his recital of the qualities of those who hear and heed the Savior's voice:  love, faith, sacrifice, caring, service, patience, peace, forgiveness, conversion, endurance to the end.  I want to be better at internalizing and showing these qualities.  And I look at them and think how the world could change for good if more of us followed the Savior.

I wanted to do this age progression to see how my kids have changed from year to year.  Shockingly, I have two children who have run the full cycle from birth to senior year of high school - ahhh!  I designed these in Photoshop and had them printed at Costco.  I love both of those tools!  It was wonderful and a little tearful to see how they've changed from those tiny babies I first held in my arms to the fabulous adults they are today.  Now on the wall in our office so I can travel down memory lane whenever I want.
