I have been where your daughter is. I became disenchanted with the church as a teenager. I saw the hypocrisy of many of the members; both adults and their children. On Sunday they were on their best behavior, but the other six days they were not very "good" examples. It took me a few years to understand they were just regular people, like me, with faults. I expected so much from the adults, therefore the disappointment at their failings was great. It took a few years, and a bit of "maturity" to realize that the Church/Gospel was not flawed, just us humans.
I bet your daughter will also realize that...

It is one of our favorite meals for supper. Most of my family eat their grits with a hefty spoonful of sour cream stirred in! (Not me) That is how Tough grew up eating it...I like mine with a sunny-side-up egg mashed up in it...or my favorite way, is to put the hot grits on top of a piece of toast with peanut butter...yummmmy!!!:)

When one person yawns, it triggers an urge to yawn in nearly everyone. When one person coughs, anyone who is recovering from a cold will often subsequently cough. Have you ever wondered why?
The power of suggestion? What we see another person do, their action, triggers a response...
Very interesting article. The power of the mind is an amazing tool.

Hmmmm. When that happens to me I say to myself, "I better get in front of that guy so he'll slow down and be safe." Needless to say, with this being Utah, that move earns me lots of people giving me the 'you're #1' signal through their windshield. Odd, though, they seem to always use the wrong finger here. Maybe it's just a Utah cultural thing.
I would think that reaction would not be exclusive to Utah. They are probably thinking, "Why does he think it is HIS responsibility to slow me down? He's not the police!"

Having children in their teens years has to be difficult.
Daily I pray for the patience and the strength to get Jordan (14 +) through his teens and on his Mission. It is the magical goal at the end of a long dark tunnel...LOL
He used to be such a joy, then he transformed... into an argumentative, sullen, non-motivated entity!
But every now and then I see a glimmer of the "real" Jordan...and I continue to pray...that we both will make it through the next four years!

AND, she talks a lot more than I do.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I read this book in my early 20's. It is worth reading and re-reading.

I like the layered look, and it happens to be "in". The deep V fashion is easily remedied by my layering a cami under. I have a cami in every color, so I am 'covered' no matter how low the neck plunges...LOL I love wearing heels, so wearing panty hose just goes with them, for me. Church is always cold, so I appreciate having the extra layer. Sunday is the only day I "dress-up" so it is fun. I haven't found dressing modestly to be a problem...there is so much out there to choose from.
It is interesting, though, to see how others address the issue.

I am thankful every day that I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I am blessed to have a large, close, and loving family. I do not want for food, for shelter, for clothing. I am loved, and I love in return. I am blessed...

I wonder how many people read their daily horoscopes in the newspaper.
I do not read my horoscope every day, or every week for that matter, but I do occasionally enjoy seeing what it says. However, I by no means put any credence into what it says. I think one reads into it what they want to...?

I was fortunate to have been "born Mormon". However, I did not date nor marry Mormon. I was inactive for about thirty years. But because of my upbringing, I did not abandon the standards that had been taught by my parents and by the Church. One day I had an overwhelming knowledge that I needed to return to the Gospel. That I needed it in my life. I looked up the address of the Church in my area, and one afternoon I drove around until I found it. That next Sunday, I went to Church. There were no other cars there. I waited half an hour...no one showed up. During the week I called the Church and found out that the Sunday I chose to return was Stake Conference...in the next city. I tried again the next Sunday...LOL
A Fun Topic...
