  1. all I can say is good for you lost!!!!!!! I am so glad to hear that you went out on the date and had a good time!!!! Remember that the Lord is mindful of our needs and I believe he puts people on our path to assist us on our journey. Maybe this was the Lords way of telling and showing you that what you desire is within your grasp. Take it from some one who knows.............we are so much harder on ourselves then the Lord is. Remember that you are a daughter of God and that He loves you!!!!
  2. I agree w/ James in contacting missionaries they can and will be able to answer your questions. You can also go to: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Mormon.org - Home As far as reading I would say start with the Book of Mormon and pray often. Best of luck as you start this journey!!
  3. hello and welcome to the site
  4. Sadly....................I have to say I use to! Sang althrough jr. high and high school. Took voice lessons in college and was a theatre/dance major and rc'd my associates degree in it. Loved theatre!!!!! Still do but sadly for some reason I vary rarely sing in public any more
  5. I've been witness to both ends of this discussion. I have seen accident "victems" walk away w/ not even a stratch and minimal damage and death. I have asked numerous times...why? but I know that I am unable to see the big picture. My comfort comes from knowing that some else is in charge.
  6. If all else fails you can always go w/ them when they teach the discussions.
  7. Wow!! I am really not in a position to give advice, but I'll go ahead and give you my 2 cents. It really sounds like you have and are truly trying. It also sounds like you have gone through the repentance process. It sounds like the ball is in your wifes corner. I agree w/ your brother about the physical abuse and anger issues. She needs counseling and needs to get back on her medication. I also highly recommend the dvd "Fireproof" it isn't LDS but it is really a good movie to watch together. Serve her and pray for her. I wish you the best.
  8. ToleranceGirl..... Welcome to the site!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have (and do) struggle w/ where I fit in. Trust me when I say that I am so not your typical RS gal so by no means are you alone.
  9. I wish I could remember what G.A. said the following, "repentance is the first emotion we feel when we are drawn closer to our Heavenly Father."
  10. Well......................being one who has infertility, I really really wish I had the answers. Apart of me wishes (and hopes) that a loving Heavenly Father sat down w/ me w/ my Savior by my side and expressed HIS love when this trial was put before me. Telling me that this would be hardest thing that I would have to experience in this life and that it would not only test me physically, emotionally, but test me to the very core of my existance. That it could (and would) crumble my faith and that it could and would affect my marriage. Somewhere down deep in my soul I know I choose this and only on the day when all knowledge is returned will I understand WHY. Getting back to the question at hand I believe he is in complete control.
  11. First and for most your mother isn't crazy, she is just making choices that you don't agree w/. My father is a Jack Mormon, he has his coffee and his beer and yes on occasion a shot of hard liquor. Do I agree, no absolutely not, but I still love and respect the man I call Dad. I don't remember who said it, but I have have heard it numorous times in my life that we are to "love the sinner and hate the sin." Don't pass judgement on your mother, just love her. Wouldn't you want her to do the same for you if the table was turned. Just my 2cents
  12. There are numerous times when we don't have to run lights and sirens. As Pam mentioned if it is a interfacility transport or if in fact the lead medic doesn't feel that it is necessary. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that the driver exited the vehicle--------that in and of itself can make an officers tension increase. Add that to some one coming out the back the poor officer was outnumbered and he can't read their minds.
  13. I'll just add my 2 cents.............................. 1. the trooper did have the right to make the stop. 2. on the defense of the ambulance driver (been there done that) it is hard to see and hear in those boxes....some even have headphones so that you can hear your medic in the back, which doesn't allow to hear much of anything else. 3. was there another medic in the back of the ambulance????????? If not then the paramedic should NOT have left the back of the rig!!!! Leaving a pt. un-attended can be considered pt. abandonment. again.....................just my 2 cents
  14. First and for most I am sorry that you are going through an extreme difficult time. I think and in MHO people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks, but we seem to be the first ones to throw them. Hind sight is 20/20 and at the time of your firts post you only wanted to disclose certain things....that is your right. ok..............now of my high horse...... I am still under the belief that abuse/assult/battery is still wrong. I would also recommend the movie "Fireproof" for both you and your wife!!!!!!!!!!! Do random acts of kindness towards her and pray for her!!!!
  15. I haven't read all the posts so I hope that I am not repeating any one and if so......sorry!! When I took out my endowments I worked as a lifeguard............literally all my work time was spent in swim suits and boxer shorts. It did take awhile to get used to my garments but I did. Pray for guidance but be assured that you will be blessed for wearing them.
  16. No it isn't appropriate, but he still might do it any way. I would suggest you merely plan for any and all possible outcomes. Also, w/ your seperation being "court ordered" is the visitation going to take place in your presence? If that is the case contact your lawyer and set up ground rules for your husband. Wishing you the best in this difficult situation.
  17. WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!
