Thanks for sharing this with us Amillia. :)

I would not choose abortion. If for some reason I could not raise a child, I would place that child up for adoption. We have a niece who was adopted because the parents could not conceive a child of their own. She brings so much joy into her parents’ lives as well as our own. I believe that there are consequences on both sides for conceiving an unwanted child. For the man who enters into a fling... he might have 18 years of child support. For a woman who does the same, she may have the hardship of giving up a child that she had carried. Many men can't possibly know how that might feel having a life grow within you. The reason why I use the word many in the previous sentence is because we have some men who become really involved with the pregnancy. Anyway, there are potential hardships on both sides. The rules are there in advance. If you don't want to get burned... don't play with fire!

YES! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU JENDA!!!!

CUTE :)

Winnie, Will you be voting in the election for a U.S. President?

I am sorry to hear what happened to this friend of yours and I agree that it was wrong.I have always believed that when you confess something to your bishop it is as if you are confessing to the Lord. Certainly, we would not need to worry about the misjudgment of the Lord in sharing this confidential information. Give me the name of this bishop and I will have a talk with him! Really, isn't there any accountability for bishops who ruin lives from an overactive jaw?

Winnie's posts are some of the best ones here.

I see the problem... Why on earth did you sit in the overflow room if you were not with a screaming child yourself?When you go back, get there early and sit in the front of the chapel.

Hey, for the most part this is a great post...thanks :) I don't really care for the number thing though, a name with I.D. would seem more personal. I think I remember numbers in the last days being tied to something.... On the other hand there could be more then one Sally Sugarloaf.

About a year ago I asked the question why girls were shaving their arm hair. I guess this is just a time for smooth bodies?

(O) (K) Now what? LOL

<span style=\'color:red\'>HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARSHA!!!</span>

Hey, I will try to be on too. In the past there has been someone to give a reminder like the day of and I think that it would help. :)

Lindy is a VERY SPECIAL Friend.... She has a heart of GOLD and a good PI too.

I PM'd and emailed her a while back and never heard back. Shoot! If she would respond to anyone it would be you bat she loves you. Last thing I remember she was moving so maybe she doesn't have access to a computer right now. See all you new people once your here and you make friends, you become like family. Isn't that right Brother Bat.

I thought he looked more like Donny Osmond dressing up like a pirate. (thanks bat) :)

WELCOME TO LDS TALK! It's nice to have some new energy about the place. :) Anyone know what happened to Halleys Comet?

Matt goes the extra mile in being kind.

YEEEEEE HAAAWWWWWWW I'm in a posse now! And knowing that a posse is a "good guy group" I smile....because you see I always wanted to be recognized for being a "good guy" For some unknown reason...I now feel honored. LOL I think that being alive in the 60's has forever made me a "Flower Child" "Peace, Love, and Happiness FOR EVERYONE" When I see people who are struggling in one way or another I feel compassion. I have a strong feeling that not everyone wants this compassion from me but that's okay I 'try' to hold back. I don't recall that we are taught to only love the 'lovable' or those who only give us kudos. I will expose something about me here... Bat has said some things that have shaken my faith at a very difficult time in my life. Some members who have been on this board for more then a year know what I am talking about. I might be considered a member of that posse mentioned but that is okay by me because I have learned so much from that experience. My issue with the board at that time was to be more explicit… that not everything said was in support of the church. I came looking for support and I was slapped with more doubt and THAT was what I perceived was the problem. More doubt wasn't what I thought I would be getting when I came to the home page before signing in as a member. It doesn’t state that this website is for both supporting and non supporting members. I like Bat yes I do and I have gotten over anything that I has been done in the past. I feel that I have a better understanding of where he is coming from and I choose not to judge his intentions...To Know Him is To Love Him...sorry Bat but it is how I feel about you. (I don't think he likes it much when I paint him to be a good guy). Like I said before who we are is based on what life has taught us. We have the power to learn and take the road that will lead us in the direction we most want to be. In the end we will be exactly where our choices have lead us…right where we want to be.

Amen. :)

I have a testimony of the power of prayer. :)

Could it happen that we've all become just a tad bit touchy about all this? Are our belief systems so fragile that we fear someone as insignificant as "bat" might have the power to shake our personal levels of faith? If so, I find that ironic and an unfortunate state of affairs. Bat is not "insignificant" anymore or less then you are... we are all precious in the eyes of our Father In Heaven. Like it or not we are all different and part of what keeps us different are our individual histories. If something shakes one persons faith and not another’s it isn't wrong. If our faith isn't tried and tested there is no room for growth and without the potential for growth that is what would be considered an unfortunate state of affairs.

It's been about two weeks since I last gave you an up date on Nick's progress. He is doing so well that he is astounding all of the doctors and therapists. About a week ago he was moved out of the ICU into the rehab program. In rehab they have been pushing him really hard. Sometimes he has as many as 7 classes a day. Nick has youth and strength working in his favor he has almost all of his wires for monitors and tubes out of him. He still has his feeding tube that goes right into his stomach because his mouth needed to wired shut to support the work done to is face. Every bone in Nicks face had been crushed except for his lower jaw and they are using that to stabilize the plates they used to rebuild his face. On the outside Nick only has a few fading scars and his hair is growing back. Nick can walk now without support and he is working on his balance and endurance in PT. He is able to talk to us since they have put a button on his trake and his memory is quite good and is improving all of the time. They is no doubt that Nick being alive today is a REAL MIRACLE. I have had several people including doctors tell me that it is a MIRACLE. About 4 days after the accident the head nurse in charge of Nick from the ER found us in the ICU waiting room and told us that the reason why he allowed our family into the ER room before is surgery is that he felt he should allow us to see him before surgery because he wouldn't make it through it. We have not discussed a lot with Nick about the accident and we have been told that when he is ready he will ask the questions. What he does know is that he was in an accident and it happened at work. Nick will still need more surgery on his face to build upon the work that has been done but to have him with us and to be able to feel his strength is such a blessing I just can't tell you. Nick smiles and he laughs even though his mouth is wired shut and being around him makes us feel good. He still has along ways to go but he is up for the fight....He is Amazing!

Dear CF Members, Thanks for choosing LDS Talk as your means of written expression...I needed some comic relief.
