I was listening to a podcast by a Dr Leonard Sax last week
and I've been pondering 2 of his sentences since then:
"The problem with a lot of good parents today is they don't
preach what they practice. So the parents believe in virtue and
honesty and decency, but they don't talk about it."
I had to wonder, why don't they talk about it? Too busy? Kids too distracted by their phones? The
parents beliefs aren't politically correct anymore? Not sure what it is exactly.
Then yesterday morning while watching General Conference, that podcast was brought back again to
me, when Robert D Hales said,
"Parents and grandparents, we tend to bemoan the state of the
world...that schools are not teaching moral character, but there is
much we can do. We can take advantage of the teaching moments
in our own families. That means now. Don't them slip by. When
an opportunity comes to share your thoughts about the gospel
and the lessons of life, stop everything, sit down, and talk to your
children and grandchildren."

That was such a good talk! Also, I love the sign about WiFi.
Wasn't it a great conference? And his talk was among my favorites.
Where is this sign? Love it!
