In the last session, Sunday afternoon, two talks mentioned staying out late.
1. "I have always believed that nothing really good happens late at night and that young people need to know what time they are expected to come home." Elder Larry R. Lawrence, "Courageous Parenting". page 98
2. "When I was a teenager, my curfew was 10:00 pm. Today, that is the time some go out in order to have fun. Yet we know that it is at night that some of the worst things happen. It is during the dark hours that some youth go to places with inappropriate environments, where music and lyrics do not allow them to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Then, under these circumstances, they become easy prey to sin." Elder Jairo Maazgardi, "Avoiding the Trap of Sin". page 103
Two witnesses to the same truth in the same session. Great parenting advice!
I like the symbolism of nothing good happens in the dark. So good happens in the light? The Savior is the Light of the world. It's simple and easy to understand, even for children.

Merry Christmas!!!!
For Christmas Dad requested a commitment to post a weekly comment on a family blog about General Conference.
Dad explains: "Each week I (or someone else) would pick a talk from the most recent general conference and then write a paragraph about it; sometime during the week each of you would log on and add comments, either responding to a comment or adding a new one."This will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the words of our prophets and draw closer as a family.
Merry Christmas DAD, we love you!!!

Maren and I really liked the courageous parenting talk as well. Maren especially liked the part about how evil and addicting video games are. Ha ha. Being couragous in our relationships with others is important. It shows you truly love someone and care about their longterm eternal welfare if you are willing to check them or offer cousel that they don't want to hear or would offend them...sometimes the unpleasant thing has to be said.
"Parenting is not a popularity contest": it is important to be your child's friend and be close to them, but it is more important to be their parent and their "person on the watchtower". We have a divine mandate to teach and protect our children.
