  1. I heard on the news a few weeks ago about a father who was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to 80 years in prison for killing his two-month old baby by beating her head on a diaper changing station. (I wish I had the source to cite, but when I tried to Google this story, I was overwhelmed by the number of different stories like this where a parent murders their infant.) The thought I want to throw out is this: Had this same parent, who will spend the next 80 years in prison for killing his two month old, chosen (with his spouse) to abort this same baby half a year earlier, there would have been no penalty whatsoever. The same human being would have been killed, just in a different way and mere months earlier. Yet, there is no penalty for abortion!
  2. When I heard about this, I also felt very sad. A few of the replies have already touched on the fact that this will not hurt the work of the Lord, which "no unhallowed hand can stop...from progressing." I also found a good article about this on the Church's newsroom site. The Publicity Dilemma - LDS Newsroom
  3. Hi there, I've wanted to do more to engage in internet conversations about the Church. This is my first attempt. I'm married with the most amazing little 18 month old ever, and another boy due in June. My wife is the most wonderful person I know. I love my job, and am currently writing this in a hotel room as my work causes me to travel some. Not too much travel though; just the right amount for me. The ward we live in is fantastic, and I enjoy my calling as ward mission leader. Life couldn't be better for me right now. I have a testimony of the restored Gospel and rejoice in the opportunity to help others come unto our Savior.
