He too often chooses play over the "right thing". It's hard! Although the other day I had an 'ah ha" moment. One of the primary presidency asked me to share a story for sharing time. She asked me to share a story about me, or one of my relatives or ancestors - when they made a right choice. I thought: easy enough. My parents made a book for Josh when he turned 8. It's called "stories to learn from" and it has a bunch of stories from when they were kids. I thought, I'll just pull one of those out and use it. When I pulled it out and started reading through it- they stories were all about when they had made a "bad" choice. Then I got to thinking about a story that I could tell and most of the stories that I thought about were again "bad" choices. I made this comment to Brad and he said, come on - are you telling me you've never made a right choice? But it DID get me to thinking. ...why do we remember the bad choices? and I realized it is because those are the times when we learn the most! It also made me realize that I can't take those learning experiences away from my kids. They too need the chance to learn the hard lessons - the ones they will remember into adulthood. <br />Sorry that was soooo long. Anyway, thanks for reminding me that my boy is just like other boys his age!Brad Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204171934817097550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828682935526716763.post-56654525979814747572012-03-05T16:05:15.385-07:002012-03-05T16:05:15.385-07:00It sounds like a perfect day!

It makes me laugh because during Colter's I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and kept asking him to look at me - 3 or 4 times! I would like a copy of your talk. I wish we were there too.
