Is Gratitude Enough?
It was a dark and cold December morning in the hills of New Jersey. Sunrise was still another hour away. I was in the middle of a group of 32 men walking rhythmically down the road. Each one of us was carrying a rucksack on our backs and we had boots on our feet. We had already been on the road for an hour and a half. We still had a long way to walk before we could rest. There certainly could be easier ways to spend a Wednesday morning. What was I doing here? This was part of my Army Basic Training.

Understanding the True Costs of Delayed Financial Decisions and How to Overcome Them
Financial inertia—putting off or avoiding important financial decisions—can have significant consequences on your financial health. Many people delay actions like updating their investment strategies, adjusting their budgets, or planning for retirement, either out of uncertainty, procrastination, or fear of making mistakes.

This article will explore how delaying financial decisions impacts your wealth and what steps you can take to move forward.

Practical Courses with Spiritual Benefits
The Lord has said, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints . . . but it must needs be done in mine own way” (Doctrine and Covenants 104:15, 16). This is a promise that Heavenly Father will help take care of His children as they follow Him. Self-reliance does not mean that we can accomplish or obtain anything we want. If we are self-reliant we believe that through the power of Christ, and through our own effort, we can work for the spiritual and practical needs of life. Many people can become more self-reliant. With Self Reliance Groups much of the work takes place in small groups that combine spiritual principles with practical skills.
The next Self-Reliance Groups are scheduled to begin on January 26, 2025. Groups will be organized based on individual interests.
