• There is great power in prayer. I strongly encourage personal and family prayer, which are important in building strong families.

If that has slipped away from your daily routine, may I suggest you put it back-beginning tonight!

• In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.

We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
