What your children really want for dinner is you!
In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.
Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.
Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.
Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.
What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.
Classic Trump: Discovers a massive binational bridge—fully funded by Canada, including the entire U.S. side—that's already built and set to open any day now, then threatens to block it unless America gets "compensated," half ownership, and concessions on dairy, booze, and whatever else pops into his head.
Bonus: Throws in a bizarre rant about China abolishing the Stanley Cup.
The man spent four years in office and never lifted a finger on the "Buy America" waiver he's now blaming on Obama. But sure, strongman posturing over a project that will pump billions into the U.S. economy is peak negotiating strategy.
Utterly deranged. Embarrassing. Pathetic.
Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
Our Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to relate to one another. The great commandments in the law, He taught, were to love—God and neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39)

As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.
@draloneboy This is the same guy who wasted tens of millions of dollars on lobster and steak from the defense budget? Crazy! Go look it up.
Trying to make himself look good when they wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on fancy food, and that’s just in one year.
