You may not have had the example.
But you were paying attention.

This page is for men breaking cycles
and leading homes on purpose.

Present over passive.
Repentant over defensive.
Faith lived, not quoted.

Dads building what they didn’t inherit.

I’m not a therapist but have you tried getting a double-double animal style with chillis from @innoutburger and drinking a neapolitan shake alone in a secluded parking spot?

All of our bishopric is out today….. guess who’s assigned to conduct?

Ps…. This is me working on not having my face expressing my thoughts of what’s being shared on the mic today.

@realKellyKnight After I closed my testimony and before I opened it up to the congregation I shared, “….my favorite parts of these meetings is when we share about Jesus Christ’s impact in our lives” in hopes the hint was noted lol

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@Capneo1 Hahahaha I’ll take not next time.

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@ga2268 Thank you for the compliment. Also, thankful that that isn’t the norm instruction given these days.

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@realKellyKnight We made it out well. Started with testimony of Jesus

Ended with Jesus, by our high councilor tho because it was necessary. :)

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@ForkMeMaddie Yeah I can see why you thought that. It would be very irreverent to do so. Definitely took this waaaaay before our meeting started or any people showing up. Hence why I was “practicing” .

Careful on the internet, not everything is what it seems.

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

From the stand to the ‘foyer’ class.

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@ga2268 Hahaha oh I know the call. Today was more of a Déjà vu moment for all of us but I refused to wear a suit. So lots more comfortable lol

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

@LatterDayCool ……. My wife caught me once today lol. I’ll go repent now

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

The most expensive weight loss program I’ve ever taken?

Not eating my kids leftover food…

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

A peaceful home usually comes from small consistent moments.

Not grand speeches.

This is the way

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

My body is not a temple.

It’s a haunted house.

Everything creaks.
Nothing works quite right.
And there’s an elderly ghost inside that’s annoyed by nearly everything.

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

But I am grateful for it.

Big difference.

Parents, what’s the worst advice you’ve received?

[Patrick Tafua @PatrickTafua]

Least favorite parenting advice?

“Enjoy every moment.”

I’m not enjoying the fourth request for a snack 12 seconds after lunch.

I’m not enjoying being asked to fix a toy that isn’t broken.

I’m not enjoying finding out someone used toothpaste as a science experiment.
