Values, Excellence and Marvelous Things

I was inspired to teach the commission of CES teachers and leaders during Faculty Meeting in February 2011.

As part of the lesson, the following message from the CES Handbook for Teachers and Leaders was read and it had a profound effect on me especially what Elder Henry B. Eyring said:

“...When a person comes to believe in and care about a principle to the point it changes or directs his or her behavior, that principle becomes a value. Henry B. Eyring, as Commissioner of the Church Educational System, said, “Values… come… from the inner workings of the Spirit as we live gospel principles…As we get our values from the gospel of Jesus Christ rooted into our work, we are going to see excellence, and we’re going to see some marvelous things” (address to the area directors, Mar. 1980)”
