This week's family home evening we reviewed the talk by Joe J. Christensen, “Resolutions,” Ensign, Dec 1994, 62–67. Then, we made both our own personal resolutions and those as a family. I made this excel document that divided the resolutions into the parts discussed within the article, and a few of my own. We have made some really good and reasonable resolutions. Now we just need to keep them!
What is Family Home Evening
Leaders of The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints have instructed members to set aside Monday night as "family home evening." This is a time for families to study the gospel together and to do other activities that strengthen the family spiritually, create family memories, and increase unity and love.

Why Family Home Evening
"I wonder if having unplanned and infrequent family home evenings will be enough to fortify ourselves and our children with sufficient moral strength to meet the complexities of our day. Infrequent family scripture study may be inadequate to arm ourselves and our children with the virtue necessary to withstand the moral decay of the environment in which we live. Where in the world will we learn chastity, integrity, honesty, and basic human decency if not at home? These values will, of course, be reinforced at church, but teaching them in family home evening can be particularly consistent and effective. To combat the world's evil influences, we need the strength that comes from family home evening."
