He explains how....

Last Sunday our Bishop quoted from the song, 
"I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home."

"I came crawling home last night, like many nights before:
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.
And she said, "You're not going to do this anymore."

She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home.
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
We'll take out the dining table and put a bar along the wall
And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

As our bishop said these words of course I'm thinking, 
where is he going with this?

But hold on, it makes sense.

He said we need to decorate our homes spiritually, by finding joy in our families so we can feel happy in our homes.

He said the way we do this is by going to the root by increasing 
our faith in God and then we will come to desire more peace, 
argue less, and hold our tempers. 

He also explained that in the home he grew up in they didn't have regular scripture study and family prayer, so when he tried to implement that in his home with his wife, it felt awkward and uncomfortable at first. 

But once they got through that awkward phase, and kept reading and praying together, then he could feel the blessings come as a family. 

And he said that is how we decorate our homes spiritually.
