Just kidding. <BR/><BR/>I love the line about the only way to have quiet children is to not come to church. I've been sorely tempted to take that approach, but I am always glad when I press onward and do my best, even if it means wrestling them for an hour or bringing half the house with me to help keep them entertained so I can be more reverent and focus on the talks.Julie Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13737557893649934725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-77214865469990281362007-10-22T11:08:00.000-07:002007-10-22T11:08:00.000-07:00I think you nailed the hammer on the hand.

Elder Bednar has an article in the September Ensign kind of similar to this topic. It really struck a chord with me.

And, if I ever do give a talk, I am insisting it is on reverence, and I'm stealing all your ideas...............

I need to work on my own reverence more. Thanks for sharing this, it's a great talk! (Mind if I borrow it for next Sunday?

I have learned in recent years that if children are allowed to be children (within the confines of courtesy) they can learn to be as worshipful as adults; just, perhaps, not always as quiet.cindy kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926229674044895164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-51611177413332971162007-10-21T07:27:00.000-07:002007-10-21T07:27:00.000-07:00Wow.

I love the idea of a Sunday journal or notebook for taking notes. I have focused on the quiet part and not the reverence part Sundays too much. <BR/><BR/>You have inspired me to do better.Sea Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818325070820349681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-14292355689629287992007-10-20T21:45:00.000-07:002007-10-20T21:45:00.000-07:00Great talk!
