{Real. Life. Thoughts..}

......THE world around us at its best is depressing

its so out of control, so disturbing, so wrong on every level of deceit and misguided individuals that Satan has a grasp on. What the world now excepts and yet half wonder where we went wrong...if even that amount..

In a world

where good is bad and EVIL is good ......say what??? 

since when??

The "Good" is the minority standing tall and standing up has become a MUST if we are going to make it even a little.....

everyday I shake my head and try to forget whats going on all around us and fortify the walls around my own house and self..and relationships around me. 

My prayers a longer these days and I'm going to say it

My dad did a lot of preaching in our growing up days and I did a lot of EYE ROLLING  

but I'm going to admit it too that

HE WAS RIGHT

and it has ONLY gotten worse

I mean I feel sorry for myself having to raise our children in this world

SERIOUSLY competing with all that is around us

trying to explain to children how WRONG certain things are because they are to instill in them tolerance,  love and a conscience of right and wrong.  Then they go out and see the world and what it holds and go what the heck ....well guess all I got to prove it all wrong..

IS MY LIFE.... MY EXAMPLE... MY FAITH......Family Home Evening......SCRIPTURES.... MY PRAYERS.....FAMILY FIRST...and FAMILY TIME ....TEMPLE......and GOALS....HARD WORK...and ... DEDICATION...... MY LOVE ....... THE LOVE OF A MAN WHO LOVES HIS WIFE.... THEIR MOTHER and HOW SHE SHOULD BE TREATED.....MY HEAVENLY FATHERS FAITH IN ME........ AND HELP WITH MY FAMILY AND I WILL NOT LOSE  WITH THAT ON MY SIDE.

and of course the lengthy family prayers of my own;) you know carrying on the tradition of my father;)

SO AS I WAS SAYING looking around its ridiculous the things that are going on .....LIKE THIS here

Feminist groups crying for attention and equality when they have no idea, obviously, of its sacred nature, privilege and right of a young man and the men within the LDS church it is a duty.... a sacred one to hold...

 I don't believe men and women are unequal in anyway we both have different roles I don't feel left out or anything because I am a women we are different and thats the way it should be:)

Adam was created and from Adam a women to be help meets, to work together to be equal ......not to dominate in anyway one above the other but we have different roles,  

responsibilities and rights of each

and maybe thats another downfall where society went wrong  trying to equalize every little thing in this life thats 

NOT REAL LIFE.

shot me if you want and if you think

I'm wrong but I don't care and this is my blog:)..........

 I like my man in charge, I like my man to take care of me, to be my rock, my sounding board and be the hard working earner, my helper, my equal in raising our children, in making our life decisions.... yes 

but there are some things that

are strictly a mans right to be a MAN

and with that and  in our church the rights and privileges of a faithful priesthood holder is a big duty and privilege.. One I know if I need help  who I can call on whenever its needed for whatever reason I know its there and I thank my Heavenly Father for that every night...

I don't need it or want it  

{I hold the priesthood every night when I wrap my arms around him to say good night and thats enough for me...}oldest joke I know but truth

 I do my best to run our house, nurture and teach our children and have the blessings that come from that and to work occasionally if thats what we decide together to help our family. I have enough duties and privileges of my own .....I believe it makes a man work harder to be better to live a life worthy to be called on at any time....for anything.

I FEEL SORRY

for those that try to change and twist doctrine so it fits their agendas, their guilt, their lacking and make embarrassing scenes in the media and church wide. How sad I am for them, sad for their lack of understanding of the sacred nature of the Priesthood and what it entitles and how it richly blesses the holder and his family throughout life if living worthy to hold it. 

Sad that they don't understand the divine roles of Man and Women because there are roles, there are differences and they are sacred if anybody truly understood it they would never dispute it.

And that is all I'll say on that..

------------------------------------------------

All of it makes me want to move to the mountains like this picture I took last weekend in Montana:) Love it ....it was a wrong turn that turned in a right one such peace and perfection we loved it!!

AND

MOVING ON to this article

Probably shouldn't even get started going on this one

but my favorite paragraph of this story which you need to read first;)

Is this

"It is how you handle that behavior afterwards that reflects on you as a parent."

Instead of sitting little Johnny down and reminding him that what he did is not acceptable and then dragging him by the collar to apologize to Mr. Holloway, you chose instead to harass and threaten the victim. 

Let's not forget here, your child victimized this man by destroying his home. How dare you respond with anything other than regret, embarrassment, and a sincere apology instead of righteous indignation, threats of violence and lawsuits.

Parents like you are responsible for an entire generation that expects the world handed to them, 

because you have given it to them all along. Instead of teaching your kids to work hard and earn things, you give a trophy to every kid in youth sports  

and then hand them an iPhone in middle school. 

You are the parents screaming through the fence at the Little League umpire instead of teaching good sportsmanship. You are the ones criticizing the teacher instead of realizing they just want to help your child learn.

Can you please just step back and look at what you are doing to your kids? 

This is the generation that will grow up to lead our country and make decisions regarding our lives. I hope none of them are YOUR children.

and we wonder what is wrong with society,  a society who thinks they are ENTITLED To EVERYTHING  without working for anything

and we wonder why there are so many handouts and freeloaders well if you raise 'em to be thats what they will become

WHEN

every feeling 

every evil 

every I don't like that

every sore loser

Every lets get rid of GOD from everything case thought or hurt my feelings... so I don't have to feel guilty and courts pass foolish laws 

and governments have agendas 

there is so much deceit and corruption and 

PEOPLE believe the twisted stories called media 

WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE AND SEE

and people blindly falling for it look around its so so sad

 SOCIETY is falling apart

WHAT ARE WE DOING TO STOP IT?

when a child can take something to court because they don't like the Lord's prayer being said so they the courts throw it out?

WHAT? 

or a businesses goes out of business or are slammed for their OPINION for their RIGHT to say no......  a right!  free SPEECH because they didn't want to take a picture or make a cake for a same sex wedding or whatever guess what

 THAT IS A RIGHT   

{that is being taken away before our eyes if we have a different opinion then ADAM AND STEVE then we are discriminating or racist against a group of people}

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT!

GUESS WHAT

I am one of a lot of people who still STANDS FIRM in traditional values and ways and in GOD 

I HAVE morals values and standards

ANYBODY REMEMBER WHO WE ARE??

Hard to remember when you look around and wonder what the heck is happening all around us!!

I don't have to like, 

accept it  

and I have the right to say I don't 

doesn't mean I hate you or what you do 

BUT I HAVE A RIGHT TO STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN TOO

Because if we don't who will??

Okay I think I've unloaded all my me thinks for the day/week/month;)

Onto more uplifting more exciting my real life things:) 

WEEKEND FUN

So Friday my awesome sister in law and my good friend watched my kids and I stole D away for the weekend to Montana an early birthday present/need to get away:)..... just to spend some time together it was so fun just to talk and no phones ringing or meetings to go to and just US:)

 

 

Fresh Fall Mountain Air uninterrupted dinner , and of course some shopping:)

 

 Amazing what a gondola ride and fresh autumn air and just being able to talk and spend time remember who you are together despite all the many things we have going on...its important find the time:)

....and then Sunday nights at grandmas have been far and few between with our new Sunday schedule but the kids love going to grandpa & grandma's houses so we are going to try harder to be better in that area:) It was another beautiful sunset night:) at the farm:) 

Sometimes we get so busy the things that mean the most to us get neglected we have to make time these days for the things that matter most or we will lose what matters most if we don't cultivate it.

and to sum it all up:)

 

Have a great week..
