Karl giving Nachi a unicycle lesson in a qiet corner of the parking lot at work. The light was a little tough for my tiny Sanyo video camera but it did pretty well.
At the beginning of Addison's riding lesson Dave rode first. He explained what he wanted Addy to know, and physically demonstrated what and what not to do.

Conference Talk:
For more information on this topic read "Moral Discipline," by D. Todd
Christofferson, Ensign, Nov 2009, 105-8.
Thought:
Moral discipline is the consistent exercise of agency to choose the right because it is right, even when it is hard.
(D. Todd Christofferson, "Moral Discipline," Ensign, Nov 2009, 105-8.)
Song:
"Choose the Right," Hymns, #239.
Scripture:
For thus saith the scripture: Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve. (Alma 30:8)
Lesson:
Ask your family what the consequences are for the following choices:
Touching a hot stove with your bare hand.
Not paying your phone bill for several months.
Going to work late every day.
Write the following sentence on paper large enough for everyone to see and invite your family to rewrite that first situation by filling in the blank: "If you touch a hot stove, then ________."
Remind your family that often gospel principles fit that "if/then" format. It is a reminder that consequences are an important part of agency. Leviticus 26 contains the consequences for obedience and disobedience, and is written in an "if/then" format.
Turn to Leviticus 26:3-4 and ask your family to mark the words if and then. In the same manner, read Leviticus 26:14,16 and mark the words If and I also will. Read together Leviticus 26:3-12 and 14-28. Ask:
What blessings are listed for obedience?
What cursings come when we violate God's commandments?
What do D&C 130:20-21 and 82:10 add to help us understand why this is so?
How does understanding this principle make you feel?
Ask your family:
What do you believe the Lord specifically expects of you?
What promises has He made to you?
Do you believe He will keep those promises if you do what He expects?
Testify to your family that as we keep our promises and witness the Lord
fulfilling His, it increases our faith.
Story:
Elder Howard W. Hunter
I recall a young man in our stake when I served as a stake president. He traveled around with a crowd that thought it was smart to do things that were not right. On a few occasions he was caught in some minor violations.
One day I got a call from the police station and was told he was being held because of a traffic violation. He had been caught speeding, as he had on a few other occasions prior to this time. Knowing that the things he was doing might prevent him from going on a mission, he straightened up, and when he was nineteen years of age he received his call.
I shall never forget the talk we had when he returned. He told me that while he was in the mission field he had often thought of the trouble he had caused by the mistaken belief that the violation of little things was not important. But a great change had come into his life. He had come to the realization that there was no happiness or pleasure in violation of the law, whether it be God's law or whether it be the laws that society imposes upon us.
He said to me, "When I drive a car now and the speed limit is sixty miles an hour, I feel it is morally wrong to drive a single mile faster."
I was impressed by the great change that had come over this young man while he served on his mission and studied moral principles. How unfortunate it is that he had to learn his lesson the hard way, but what a great blessing comes when there is the realization that one cannot be in violation and feel good about that conduct.
Activity:
Use tape or yard to draw a large circle on the floor. This is the den. Pick someone to be the werewolf and stay inside the den.
The object is for the other players to taunt the werewolf by daringly stepping into the den. If the werewolf bites (tags) someone who is completely or partially in the den, then he also becomes a werewolf and helps the first werewolf catch others. The last person caught becomes the werewolf for the next round of play.
Gospel application: When we choose to put ourselves in situations where we can be tempted, we will often get caught. We need to choose to stay far away from the things that are wrong.

Bubbie and Mac have a nice piano teacher, who let me play with the camera for a little while while they were having their lessons. But then Bubbie got distracted by my poking the camera up next to his seat trying to get a picture of his reflection in the highly polished piano; he thought I was trying to covertly hand him the camera. So I backed off then, and let them finish the lesson. But I did get this nice photo in the meantime.
Another Art Lesson…
Carol's First Tonal Painting
The first assignment Prof. David Moore gave to Carol was to copy a well-known Max Meldrum print. But the important point of this lesson was to get Carol to accurately see and understand the picture's tones. Shapes and other detail were not important and were forced into lesser focus by David hanging the reference painting upside-down. This insured the subject would not distract her eye away from the tones.
For several weeks Carol would attend the class and concentrate on painting the lights and darks accurately. When David was eventually satisfied, he took Carol's painting and turned it so it could be viewed correctly. It was quite successful! Carol had done a good job with the tones and so the overall look and feel of the painting came across satisfactorily well. This first assignment helped Carol get on the road to understanding and comprehending the importance of tonal values, and how to 'squint down' in order to see and separate them.
My painting shows the evening Carol brought her painting home and explained everything to me. I was impressed! In the many years since this event took place, I have gotten so familiar with correct tones that I was able to paint from a bad photo which didn't even have tones in it. For years I had thought the photo was useless due to bad exposure but I recently decided to force a viewable image just visible enough that I could use it as reference in creating this art piece. With a bit of Photoshop tweaking I was able to see Carol holding her painting, just the way I remembered, and the mirror next to her reflecting another perspective of it all. The picture gave me a reference and I guessed at the tones to get the painting to come-out decently.
So the reality of my piece is that it conveys a Max Meldrum, David Moore, Carol White, Philip White piece of art!
Day 26/365
Today my dad brought Jeremy over for guitar lessons. It was the first time I'd met him. He was nice and really shy, but he let me take photos of him. I took Winnie for a short stroll around the street and spent a small fortune shopping with Lauren. It was positively unbelievable. The only reason why I spent any money though is because my parents bought me the Mark II I was saving for. So I had all this money to spare, taunting me, as usual.
