Hello everyone, welcome to Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm here with the

incredible John, by the way. Hello, John. I think this is a good day. Follow Him Favorites

is where we take our lesson. We're going to take one question from our lesson this week

and kind of just focus in on that for a few minutes. The question, John, and I see this

in the eyes of my students, sometimes in the eyes of my children is, we're going to talk about

this again. And this is this kind of the same thing we talk about over and over and over. So,

have a tendency to forget. And it's home alone too, I think, where she says, oh, he says, I won't

forget you to the woman that feeds pigeons, right? Oh, don't make promises. You can't keep. He's

said, I don't think people forget. I just think they forget to remember or something like that.

There's a nice little line. They forget to remember. And I think when King Benjamin talked to

the people, he said, something about have these commandments before your eyes. And all those things
