So a member of the Bishopric called a few days to ask me to speak in Sacrament meeting this Sunday. I joked but eventually accepted (of course) and then he gave me the topic: Creating A Sanctuary At Home. I smiled to myself as I heard the topic and immediately thought of my home...definitely NOT a sanctuary.
After hanging up the phone I looked around my house and noticed the piles of paper, toys and other clutter preventing my home from being a sanctuary. Then what did I do? I avoided working on my talk AND cleaning the house. Over the next few days I pondered this topic. How does one create a sanctuary? I think that there is a multi-faceted answer and it is my goal to figure it out. I hope that on Sunday the message the Lord wants others (and probably most of all me) to hear is conveyed. I know that this is an important aspect of life and realize how difficult it can be to keep that sacred feeling within our homes.
I will post my talk on here once I figure it all out and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck.

I think that topic is great :) I'm not the best with keeping things consistently clean, but I do clean things, I love the feelings that accompany it. Your reaction to the bishopric member would have been my same reaction! Hahhaa, I love it! You're going to rock your talk...GOOD LUCK!
