Sunday’s are a day of rest from the world for me and my family. It is a day of reverence and spiritual worship. You will find most of “The Daily Echo’s” to be of a more spiritual nature on Sunday’s. As I spent this morning reading and studying. I came across a talk given by Elder Lynn G Robbins a few years back. The echo is a summary of his wonderful talk. It will take you about 1 minute to watch it, but it’s meaning is monumental. Take time to watch this short clip and ask yourself…. Which way do I face?

NEVER NEVER underestimate a SMILE…. Do you find it difficult to Smile? 🙂 or Do you get a bit irritated by that person who SMILE’S too much??? :). On today’s echo Dr. James talks about smiling and how it changes our physiology in multiple positive ways. Take a look and take the challenge this week to SMILE more often.

I had heard long ago that goes something like this… “The Quality of your Friends is determined by what kind of Friend you are”. If you step back and find that you may not have very many good friends you must evaluate your own behavior. Are you “that” friend who is always needy and your needs must be met? or…. Are you the friend that is more concerned with others more than yourself. Take time to watch this great clip from Chad today.

There seems to be an ever increasing group of people intent on proving that God does not exist. For myself, I have never questioned the existence of my Heavenly Father. I think most of us know deep down inside that something far greater than us exists. But I can’t help but wonder why the persistence of disproving the very existence of God is on the forefront. Could it possible be if there is no God then really there is no Right or Wrong? If we could somehow extrapolate our minds to come to the conclusion that we are here by random chance then our very lives are worth nothing. Does it give me permission to act anyway I want without eternal consequences? Is it possible that the very fabric of our moral society is breaking down because of the “new” belief system without God being present. How can being “PanSexual” (Miley Cyrus) be wrong if God doesn’t exist? Even in our own country founded by God fearing men who coined the phrase “In God We Trust” is being attacked to remove such rhetoric. Take time to watch Chad today.

When I think of Marcus I reflect on one of my favorite quotes from Calvin Coolidge.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

What number defines OLD or Worn Out… Are we suppose to be arthritic, degenerative, and full of heart disease at 40? 50? 60? 70? 80? Never. Why at 50 are you suppose to be weaker than a 20 year old? I love today’s echo and clip from Titus.

That is a loaded question isn’t it???? Sometimes we ask that question while attending a seminar for our company that seems completely a waste of time. Sometimes we ask it in our youth while attending church events parents make us go to…. Other times we ask that question while wondering through life. What is all of this about? Does my 70-100 years mean anything to anyone? Is there a purpose for my journey? Today’s echo is a short film that I think tells a wonderful story regarding these thought we all have.

Make sure you take time to watch today’s short clip. It might change your life in a profound way. Do you ever think about what you “feed” your brain everyday? We get very strict on the foods we take into our bodies. We know that by feeding out bodies poor nutrition we will pay the price physically. The brain is an amazing organ and if we are not careful we will sabotage our lives by ignoring what we allow to go into our brains. Take time today and watch this great clip.
