I believe it is of particular importance in our day, when Satan is raging in the hearts of men in so many new and subtle ways, that our choices and decisions be made carefully, consistent with the goals and objectives by which we profess to live. We need unequivocal commitment to the commandments and strict adherence to sacred covenants. When we allow rationalizations to prevent us from temple endowments, worthy missions, and temple marriage, they are particularly harmful. It is heartbreaking when we profess belief in these goals yet neglect the everyday conduct required to achieve them.

Always be grateful for your blessings, especially your heritage. When we are blessed with goodly parents, we should be grateful. This is the debt each of us owes for our heritage.

Husbands and wives are equal partners. They have different but complementary responsibilities.

I have felt an urgency to counsel each of us to seek the higher ground---the refuge and eternal protection of the temple.

We can thrive and bloom if we are rooted in our love of the Savior.

It is vitally important that our children know they are loved and safe at home
