dissapointed.

I won't lie and pretend things have been hunky dory (or however you spell it) around here. Living in LA has been a little bit rough lately. It's pretty sad that for a few weeks I wouldn't put Bentley or Gaige's BYU shirts on them because I was scared of somebody jumping me. And that I can't even go to church without people standing outside protesting. I am just so dissapointed in the human race right now. I definitely won't even start with the presidential election ( I know more about the economy than President Elect and I failed Econ 101 the first time around, that's all I'm going to say). I am dissapointed that society has moved so far away from what is morally right. And the more I read the scriptures I realize that all the stupid people that couldn't see how evil they are are just like the people around us that mistake evil for good and good for evil.

This is all probably a good thing. It has made me realize just how true the gospel of Jesus Christ is and reaffirmed my faith and testimony. I am grateful to have the truth. I am grateful to know that our Heavenly Father has an eternal plan for us. I am grateful that I have no doubts of that. I am grateful that I have no problem following the Prophet and standing up for what is right. I am grateful that I am on the right side, the Lord's side!

I am grateful that I will raise my boys in truth and righteousness even though the world around them is full of justification, confusion, and tolerance for unrighteous things.

Here's some pictures of my cute babies.

Super Gaige!

Amen. Isn't it amazing how tolerance is a one-way street? All I can say is that I'm totally confused about the definition of tolerance. Since when did it mean, "I'll accept and condone whatever you do otherwise I will be labeled as bigoted and repulsive. This means that I will allow you to do whatever you want, and give away so much of what I believe- all in the name of tolerance."

Tolerance. What a croc. Hang in there! At least your boys are adorable!
