Stopping Time

Isn't it amazing that right when life gets to be the busiest, the body always manages to get sick within your moments of weakness?

While we are sick time seems to slow. Everyone around you is working hard and thoroughly through the day while we lay and ponder. Not even just thoughts, more like searching our souls. After all, you have to lay in bed all day. My as well get something done.

Some of our most troubling adversities can be solved within this train of thought. God loves us and wants us to be happy. When we are getting to be too busy to even remember to look around, he will take us down. Allowing us to admire our lives and realize things are not as bad as seemed.

Listening to the leaves fall and collect on the concrete outside the window. Listening to the stillness all around. Listening to our Heavenly Father whisper sweet things to us. I feel invincible.

Nothing can stop me.
I have learned a lot while down.

Us Mormons

Honestly?
I was attempting to study up on the election when I stumbled across this page:
http://www.votingforjesus.com/

This is THE silliest thing I have read about my religion in A LONG time.
I really hope no one listens to this person preach about something they know nothing about!
Man.... I've had my good giggle for the day. :)

Yes, I am a Latter Day Saint of Jesus Christ or otherwise known as Mormon.
I'm sorry but we do not believe ourselves to be a cult.
Even after listening to people call him a lunatic, I do believe that Joseph Smith was nothing shy of magnificent.
We believe that the gospel was taken off from the earth for a while because the people of the world were unable to believe. Joseph Smith converted countless lives and brought our religion back.
If people thought he was really evil why would he not change the name of the church after himself? No one would have known!
We are "The Latter Day Saints" because we are in the latter days.
From not drinking alcohol, not doing drugs, girls only piercing their ears one time, boys not piercing their ears, no coffee products, watching out for caffeine, food storage, and the unspoken not having sex until we are married in the temple. GASP! Yes!! We do not have sex until we are married. Crazy right??

We love to hear about our church through others! So this article I came across made me pity the people who would think such about us! We're really not that bad. :)

Like one comedian said, "Mormon's ain't so bad. If I have yard work to be done, I just put it off for a week or so. Because then they will get to it as a service project so I don't have to!"
