Family Home Evening: January 2016

Disclaimer: This post is about my faith.  If that makes you uncomfortable then please stop reading.  It is not my intention to make my readers feel awkward in any way.  I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I am very proud of that part of me and I love the church with all my heart.

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the family is key.  Every Monday night is devoted toward "Family Home Evening".  It is a time to spend with the family so individuals can grow together as a family as well as closer to our Savior.  I try and do something spiritual every week, although, some weeks it will be spent with the family in a more casual setting.

I have started this Family Home Evening Series to help ME be more organized, but at the same time I ended up helping other families.  So I thought I would continue doing this series to hopefully help us all spend more time with our families.  I started doing the a different schedule for the Family Home Evening structure.  I hope my family likes it.

As you might have noticed....I am focusing on honesty in the month of January.  I will go into detail in a later post, but there are going to be specific topics that I do each month.  I am excited to start a new year and hopefully continue our family home evenings together throughout 2016!
