“Brethren, noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven. A father should be many things. He should magnify his priesthood and be an example of righteousness. In companionship with his wife, he should be the source of stability and strength for the whole family. He should be the protector and the provider and the champion of the members of his family. Much of his love for his children should flow from his example of love, concern, and fidelity for their mother. By his uncompromising example he should instill character into his children.”
James E. Faust, ‘Them That Honour Me I Will Honour,’ ” Ensign, May 2001, 46

My family has always been a strong military family. I want them to know how much I appreciate the service they gave and are giving to our great country and to each of us while serving in the military. I want all of the servicemen and women to know how much they are appreciated by their family and friends across the nation. Thank you for all you have done for us. I am very glad to be an American and honor my family members and all of the servicemen and women who have given of their time and talents to serve in the military to protect our freedoms and privileges. "In God We Trust"

Lay on your stomach on the floor or bed or where comfortable. Push up the upper torso of your body with your hands until your arms are straight. Count about 10 seconds to hold the position. Repeat about 10 times.
Remember to consult your doctor before starting any diet or exercise plan.

"When we have received a forgiveness of sins, a broken heart serves as a divine shield against temptation. Nephi prayed, 'May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite!' (2 Nephi 4:32). King Benjamin taught his people that if they would walk in the depths of humility, they might ever rejoice, 'be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of . . . sins' (Mosiah 4:12). When we yield our hearts to the Lord, the attractions of the world simply lose their luster."
Bruce D. Porter, "A Broken Heart and a Contrite Spirit," Ensign, Nov. 2007, 32

What motivates people to exercise and stay fit? Some say their children, others say their wedding, and yet others say preventing disease. Motivating people to exercise is a multi-billion dollar business. There are tapes, books, incentives, and etc. to motivate people to exercise. We, as a nation, are working hard to motivate people to exercise and lose weight because of the obesity epidemic that is becoming apparent in our children.
Sometimes people try to motivate you by giving you uplifting encouragement, or dropping hints. I once read a T-shirt that said, "I may be fat, but you're ugly, and I can go on a diet!" You have to find the motivation to start. It could be through the fear of losing health or strength or it could be because you want to see results in your weight.
Find something you like to do. It could be walking, dancing, riding a bike, lifting weights, running, jogging, exercise while playing with your children, or etc. It is said that the person who exercises in the morning to kick-start their day is the one that will stick with the exercise program. If you like to walk on a treadmill, you may get bored with that. Try listening to motivational music or put a TV in front of the treadmill for interest. If you walk outside, take a different route once in a while.
There are many benefits to exercising. Some people will find that their body aches diminish as their bodies grow stronger with exercise. Some people will have a greater mental capacity and better attitude. While others will feel a greater self esteem from sticking to an exercise program and getting results that are noticeable.
Think of the reasons you should exercise for the next couple of days. As you think of them, write them down. This is a motivation starter. Next, decide when you will be exercising and how you will be exercising. Also, think of the ways you can get exercise in your daily routine. Walk to work or lunch instead of driving. Give up dessert except for special occasions. Do not take seconds at meals.
Once you exercise for a time and see results you can give yourself a pat on the back for changing a bad habit to a good habit.
