How many of you make it home in time for family dinner each night? I need to get better. Apparenty it would increase my job satisfaction.

Surfah's current job doesn't let him make it home for family dinner most of the time now. Although we eat together when we can, I think we have both seen an obvious disrupt in our family unity as a result. I do feel like he would enjoy his job more if quality family time (like family dinners) was more available.

I'm home most nights for dinner with the family. It's the best time to indoctinate the kids with my conservative political and religious philosophies. It seems to be working. Not a one of them looks to Obama for the redemption of their sins.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
