Sad Sad world....

Sometimes I wonder how we can be happy in a world where we hear about things like Josh Powell with his kids....so so sad.

I guess this is one reason why I am so grateful for the knowledge of the Gospel. The fact that we know that those kids are going to be ok is the only thing that gives me peace. I do not know the whole situation, but it's easy for me to dislike him for what he did to himself, his children, and his wife.

The Gospel is real, and I hope that the family of these poor boys knows of the truthfulness of it and the peace that the atonement of Christ can bring.

My favorite scripture for today:

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.


-Alma 7:11-12


Christ is real, and He lives. He will be there for us in whatever we must face in this life.
