Quieter, Please

From Gordon B. Hinckley's October 2000 talk "An Humble and a Contrite Heart":

"Let us lower our voices in our homes. Let love abound and find expression in our actions. May we walk the quiet ways of the Lord."

Never yell across the house to communicate with a family member. Get up, go into the room where the person is, and TALK to them. Yelling ALWAYS drives the Spirit away. Because even when it's not done in anger, it's still done in selfishness. It says that "me sitting comfortably is more important than you".

I'm willing to make an exception if the house is on fire, but that's about it.
