Our Bishop's Family


Our Bishop gave a talk this past Sunday that I really liked. He talked about focusing on the why of things and not the what. For example, "Do I need to go to church every Sunday?" WHY? Do I need to take the Sacrament every week? WHY? WHY do we do the things we do? I am really trying to apply this to myself. Sometimes I feel that if i get caught up in the what, then i miss the mark. The what must to be accompanied with the why. Interesting application. In pest control, we were taught to always give the feature and the benefit. "We spray around the base of the home (feature), to keep anything from crawling into the home(benefit). What are the features of the gospel and what are the benefits. Even writing this has helped me to think about that more. I think Im going to study with the benefit in mind. Thanks for being so awesome Jayce. What an awesome example you are. May the spirit guide you in your exams this week. I will be praying for you. Love you, Elder Tilley
