Be involved; be informed. Try to be understanding and tolerant and to appreciate diversity.

The answer is, of course, to simplify, to prioritize, and in some cases, to use a well-known phrase, "Just say no!" But actually doing it may prove to be one of the real challenges in our complicated, overheated lives.

Spend your energy on things that make a difference.

The Lord does not want us to "miss supper." In fact, He has a great feast prepared for those who return clean and pure through the door.

The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.

Pray for divine guidance in your goal setting

Quite simply, our one hope for spiritual safety during these turbulent times is to turn our minds and our hearts to Jesus Christ.
