The problem at the end of the day is we all need to quit talking as much and serve more.  How bout, I need to quit talking so much and serve more, live the Gospel more, challenge more. 

The Gospel is the power to salvation!  It is an old thought but relevant as ever in our busy, multitasking, no time for anything world.
