D&C 60: 2, 13

2 But with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. Wo unto such, for mine anger is kindled against them.

13 Behold, they have been sent to preach my gospel among the congregations of the wicked: wherefore, I give unto them a commandment thus: Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt though bury the talent that it may not be known.

    We are all headed off onto our own journeys but no matter what we are doing or where we are going we should never "hide our talents" whatever our talent may be. We should never let others discourage us from using the gifts which God has given us. We should be grateful for those gifts and be willing and open to share them with others.
     We should also pay attention to the things we fill our time with. No, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite here! I know I am one of the biggest time wasters out there. So that is something that I really really need to work on and I hope that I can do that and that you can help me to do that. As Gandalf would say, " All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." God has given us all this time and all these things. We should fill our time with good things; we just have to choose what those things are.
