So lately I have just been so down because there are things that are bothering me that I haven't really talked about with anyone.
First is the whole Micheal Jackson thing. I am shocked/awed/appalled that people have the GUTS to sit there and make jokes about his death and just be disrespectful to him and his family. I personally think it's tragic that his children loose their Father and a Mother looses her son, and Brothers and Sisters loose their baby Brother! Whether or no we agree with the lifestyle people live we need to be respectful and remember that he who is without sin cast the first stone. I think that MJ probably dealt with some hard things in life, but his errors are his and he will deal with God when his judging time, as for us we are no one to judge him or speak ill of him or his family. That has just bothered me so much because automatically people think of the bad and not of the good. Like how he was a record holder for most charities supported by a pop artist or his humanitarian work. I don't think there is a song that we can find that is innaproppriate or suggest something terrible like other talented singers out there. I just want people to be quiet and mind their own.
Another thing that has been bothering me is people Calling The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a Cult! How the heck are we a Cult?!! Can someone explain that to me?! I guess that I've been born in the church I can't seem to fit that into perspective. The thing that brought this up is when Big Love and i'm sure you've heard of it, erd that episode of them getting sealed into the temple. What bothers me is that some idiot that was X'd had to go and tell all the SACRED meanings and symbolizms of the Temples. How dare they? Don't they know any better. I'm no saint in any way shape or form, but I could never go against what I have learned in my 21 years of life and tell them to other people to make money that is just wrong.
I was walking through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple 2 days ago with Rob and we were holding hands in there and just beeing silent and looking at each other when we saw something we liked, or telling each other we loved this we loved that and he would explain to me a little bit of what they did in each room since he has been and I haven't. If I would ask a question about something he wouldn't answer. Like in the ordinance room how there is a curtain. I asked him why is there a curtain, like why not a wall. He simply said Baby there is a reason, but I can't tell you why.. you will just have to wait and find out. Which makes me even more curious which makes me want to speed up the process so I can go.
In other words I felt the spirit of the Lord so strongly (other then that annoying kid that we caught up to that would not quit screaming. They finally asked him to leave..THANK GOODNES). I am really saddened that people talk bad about the things that I love and that I have a knowledge of. Like I was reading this blog that a women wrote on that episode of Big Love. She says "I find it interesting how the Mormons have these little secret rituals. Why would I want to get sealed to the person I'm marrying anyways. I find death to be a new start, I don't want to see my husband for the rest of my life." It bothers me how in every comment that people have written about this episode they use the word secret!! It's not a secret!!! It is SACRED! Which in other words means that it is Holy, or inviolable, or divine.. whatever word you want to use. It is so special. In one of the comments it had a link. I regret clicking on that link. It explained in detail about what goes on in the temple and the things that they do, and why you wear the special clothing. I should have stopped reading it, but I just couldn't believe what I was reading. I closed my laptop immediately after it started talking about what is exactly on the garments. UGH!! When I pray tonight I just need to be really sorry for that and ask God to forgive the person that did that. I know millions of people probably clicked on that like I did. Basically that's all I had to say. Also that I love my Father in heaven for then anything in this world and I know that he loves those even though they doubt him, and I know that he suffered so we may have the knowledge that we do. I am also happy for those who choose to except his gospel and teach it.
I also wanted to say that I love my Friend Salo sooo much. I think about him all the time, and I am so happy that he is on his mission and having such great success. I am so grateful to have the time that I did with him. He has taught me alot about myself, and made me want to be better because I can, and because I should... not for anyone else except for my daughter who loves me. I hope I can be as great as you one day!
