Labor Day greeting and using our senses.

Tomorrow we get to celebrate Labor Day here in America.  For that holiday I get to have a three day weekend, with no school or work.  YEAH!  So far my schooling has been good. 

We all know our senses, touch, taste, sight, etc.  There is an old saying that goes "See no evil, Speak no evil and Hear no evil"  we might as well add, "Touch no evil and Smell no evil."  Instead we should change it around to be more positive instead of negative.  "See that is good, Speak that is good, Hear that is good, Touch that is good and Smell that is good". 

• See wholesome entertainment, good books, beauty of the Earth, good websites. 
• Speak positive words, words of love, forgiving,
• Hear uplifting music, hymns, holiday music, children laughing,
• Touch good books, holding hands,
• Smell home cooking, flowers,

This is all I could think of.  Its not a complete listing of course but enough to let you know what I'm trying to say. 

                               Have a great holiday weekend and lets uses our senses for good.

Falling asleep in church services, mainly Sacrament Meeting.

I know that Sunday is a day of rest, from what the 10 Commandments tell us.  That we should take the Sabbath Day and make it a holy day and be rest from our labors.  For some reason when I was younger I wouldn't fall asleep as much during Sacrament Meeting but, now for some reason I'm so tired and exhausted that I can't stay awake during Sacrament Meeting.  I do try and stay awake.  I do sing the hymns and listen to the prayers but I usually lay my head down on the bench in front of me and just close my eyes but leave my ears open.   I'm sure there are several of you out there that do the same thing I do.  Try and fall asleep while we get told to stay awake and listen to the speaker.  The most embarrassing would be is to be up by the podium and falling asleep and making the podium go up and down to the speaker.  I hope that won't happen to any of us.
