Family prayer is the greatest deterrent to sin, and hence the most beneficent provider of joy and happiness. The old saying is yet true 'The family that prays together stays together.'
More Quotes from Thomas S. Monson:
The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility.Thomas S. Monson
He who gives money, gives much. He who gives time, gives more. He who gives himself, gives all.

We have the right to choose, but, likewise, we have the responsibility to choose. We cannot be neutral. There is no middle ground. The Lord knows this Lucifer knows this. So there is a great campaign being waged today. On the one hand, Lucifer has attractively painted his road signs. You have read them you have seen them. They are bright they are attractive. They read something like this 'Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' Another may read 'It's the popular thing to do.' Another one may read 'Just this once won't matter.' On the other hand, the Lord has prepared His road signs for our guidance. They read 'Fear God and keep his commandments.' See II Kings 1736-39. Another one may read 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap.' See Galatians 67. Another one 'There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.' (DC 13020-21) Thus we have two roads to follow, and we have the responsibility to choose.
Thomas S. Monson
In the private sanctuary of one's own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the stature of true potential.
Thomas S. Monson
Do we give thanks to God 'for his unspeakable gift' and His rich blessings so abundantly bestowed upon us.
Thomas S. Monson
When called to the Council of the Twelve, October 4, 1963, he said in the Salt Lake Tabernacle I think of a little sister, a French-Canadian sister, whose life was changed by the missionaries as her spirit was touched. As she said good-by to me and my wife in Quebec, she said, 'President Monson, I may never see the Prophet. I may never hear the Prophet. But President, far better, now that I am a member of this Church, I can obey the Prophet.'

Most of the hotel gym's are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren't going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don't have dumbbells and benches.

Uncertainty is the worst of all evils until the moment when reality makes us regret uncertainty.
