On Monday Jason and I went early to the ward corn roast to shuck 4 large boxes of corn. There was a girl there watching me as I was busy at work. I'd never seen this girl before and I teach primary. She asked me how old I was. I thought it a little bizarre and wanted to say something about it not being polite to ask total strangers that, but I went ahead and answered her. 38. She said "you look young. You look like your 13." While I've always looked younger due to having good genes (thanks mom and dad). But 25 years younger! OK, maybe it was the fact that I had a baseball hat on backwards and that I have adult acne. I never had acne as a teenager! Life's journey is not traveled on a freeway devoid of obstacles, pitfalls, and snares. Rather, it is a pathway marked by forks and turnings. Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed: the courage to say, 'No,' the courage to say, 'Yes.' Decisions do determine destiny. The call for courage comes constantly to each of us. It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be. --Thomas S. Monson
