     “I was going to do that tomorrow, but I think that’s too soon.”

     Well, that certainly is an attitude, and there are always lots of things holding us back.  You might be the specialist – someone who knows a lot about a little;  or a generalist – someone who knows a little about a lot.  But, what you are not can always be the opportunity for someone else to help you accomplish what you should.

     “Every seed sown brings a harvest, every thought becomes a seed.

     As you consider what you plant, think of He who died for thee.”
     No one becomes the perfect gardener overnight.

     The psychic diversity manifest in everyone as a unique creation of God can none the less reveal common symptoms from actions or inactions that keep psychologists and psychiatrists in the business of defining normalcy and assisting in modifying personal behaviors to conform.

     But, for the rest of us there is this simple gospel reality:  STANDARD WORKS STANDARDS WORK.

     The most difficult maneuver for an aircraft pilot to master is a steady hover.  Many aspire, but few can — flight schools wash out over 50%.  A rotorcraft is capable of flight in any direction – it can take off straight up or even backwards.  But, no less than 8-16 hours of dual instruction is needed before one acquires the “hover bug.”  “The instructor will step out of the left seat and tell his scared to death student to “go solo.”  No atheist survives as God is fervently petitioned to “be my co-pilot and help me hover.”
     Mastering a rotorcraft alone exhilarates even fair weather pilots.  The machine wants to fly apart, and will for the want of a single cotter pin or safety tie.  “Cheating death with every turn of the rotor blade” is just the beginning.  Add foul weather, mountain flying,  Nap Of the Earth navigation (180 mph at 3 feet above the deck), weapons and combat conditions – and multiply all these by systems failures.  Every moment you are (still) alive is exhilarating.
     Harry Reasoner wrote:  “a helicopter does not want to fly.  It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrously.”

     Such is much of what day-to-day living is all about.  It matters not what direction or intensity the winds, we have to learn to keep straight, level, and controlled, doing the best with what we have.  Good instruction has to come from somewhere before you will ever learn to hover.  There is a commandment somewhere in all this:   “. . .be still (hover) and know that I am God.” (D&C 101:16).  Read the entire verse, and fly safe.

     “I’m going to put $30.00 into savings every time you buy a carton of cigarettes and $1.00 for your daily big swig drink, and spend it on myself,” she said.   Her husband replied:  “Then I’ll spend $40.00 on me every time you add a pair of shoes to your Imelda Marcos collection.”
     Addictions come in many forms and all cost resources.  Our choices are either positive or negative and results can bless or debilitate our lives.
     As Dumbledore counseled Harry Potter:  “our abilities do not define who we are; it is our choices.”
     Change is dependent on action, not ability.  Change begins to the heart what we truly value.   Resource management is a learned skill.  But, what we learn, memorize, catalog, understand, and even get graded on will never become part of our lives unless it finds value from discernment in our hearts.  Everything with value begins with personal choice.  DO YOU VALUE BEING PREPARED?  DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE SELF-RELIANT?

     The principles of the gospel are found in all of the worlds’ religions:  some have more than others.  The basic difference between Methodists, Mormons, and Muslims is content.  You can’t live a principle you don’t know if you don’t have the full meal deal.  The only question is “do you want the feast (the fullness of the gospel) or just a nibble?”
     If calamitous times came and you had a chance to invite the Lord to dine in your home, would your storage program allow feast or famine?
     Did you know that The Savior has invited you to dine with Him after the calamities of the last days?  Yes, you have an invitation to feast with the Lord at the Feast of Fat Things.  This is no Jenny Craig affair.  Read DC 58:6-12.  Then read the list of invited guests in DC 27:5-15.  Your personal invitation, if you live righteously, is in verse 14.  
     ARE YOU PREPARED?  COULD YOU PLEASE BRING A SALAD . . . from your storage?

      “An extroverted actuary is someone who is looking at your shoes.”

     Actuaries are generally quiet, reclusive introverts who immerse themselves in number crunching.  They are the ones who determine for insurance companies mortality expectations and death risks of national, regional and local natures.  Do you know what they say about Utahans?

     Because we are clean livers, we last longer than any other socio-economic group in America.  Men can expect to live to age 74, and women age 89.  Read the obituaries.  You’ll see I’m right – on average.

     Ladies, that means you can expect to outlive your husbands 15 years.  That means the next time he changes furnace filters, replaces a light switch, fixes a faucet or sprinkler head, or fertilizes the lawn, you ought to learn from handy him all you can about maintaining the home while you still have him.

     Now you know why there are so few single older plumbers, electricians, landscapers and HVAC technicians.
