3. Man is that we might have joy.
4. The Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath.
5. Don't take yourself too seriously.

8. The greatest accomplishment in my life is my family.
9. It is easy to let lust and greed be your motivating factor in your life (your gods).
10. The people I most admire are those who keep the commandments (the most righteous). They are also the most enjoyable to be around.

12. Service to others brings the greatest happiness in life.
On a side note, Elora made Grandpa Dennis this heart for Father's day.
He loves the homemade gifts the BEST.
Thought I should tell you it is a heart in case you don't recognize it.
