This last month, I have been more diligent in my prayers and scripture study. I have been waking up at 4:30 in the morning and going upstairs to pray and read scriptures. No, I don’t set the alarm; my eyes just pop open, and I lay there thinking.

I just started teaching first grade again after 30 years. When I looked in the faces of those sweet children, I told them that I taught first grade many, many years ago.Some of my students became dentists, UPS drivers, teachers, loan officers and policemen.

Last month I wrote, “You can always tell when the Lord is trying to teach you a principle because on-task real-life on-the-job experiences come in multiples.”

Not only does He give you opportunities on how to practice, He also gives you examples of how it should be done.

You can always tell when the Lord is trying to teach you a principle because on-task real-life on-the-job experiences come in multiples. Lately, I have been inundated with opportunities to forgive.

Last issue, I wrote an article about the flag and included information from a website that told how we should honor the flag. I have thought of it often and decided that I didn’t say enough about the flag.

Last summer, I was driving down the road, and to my horror, there was an American flag being blown about on the street. It was covered with mud, and the only way I recognized it was the patch of stars and stripes that looked up from the dirt.
