That's encouraging people to lie. It's a lot easier to not answer the phone, let your machine get it or hang up.

Do you know if there is any audio scriptures for Kindle Fire? Reading with family members, that would come in handy. By myself I also enjoy this, "The Book of Mormon Made Easier" part one. By David J. Ridges I just recently down loaded it and enjoy it while reading at night before bed. But it would be nice to get my sister and brother in law back into reading their scriptures again, and thought an audio would be nice.

They say a womans work is never done. It's true. And they want to make it where we can hold the priesthood? No thanks. I'm very content helping run my house hold and church callings. To me, women taking on the Priesthood roles is like women taking on the NFL. It's out of place.

I think I just gave you your first laugh. Actually for my parents, the Relief Society put on a meal in the cultural hall for after the funerals. And that's what they served. Ham, funeral potato's, some kind of jello. Orange and Red. There might of been something else, I just can't recall.

Your not the only one. Like you, I've heard of the authors, but not the books. I've always wanted to see what the Da Vinci Code was about though. I heard it is good. So it's on my "to read" list.

Isn't it amazing how you can be going through a situation and stumble across a talk, some uplifting words, scripture, etc. And feel like that was meant just for you at the right time? Thank you for posting this, it was needed. :)

I don't know which is better, stale or fresh. I don't eat much. But this looks worth a try. Peeps for smores instead of the white marshmallows. Peeps S’mores for Easter | Eclectic Recipes

If this is the one your talking about, Feminist Mormon Housewives | angry activists with babies to feed definitely not my cup of tea. I do enjoy the blog of DIY, Cooking, Crafts or cleaning tips, etc. Home Organization | Made From Pinterest Three Sisters who are LDS make something from Pinterest and share the results with their readers. I am currently brain storming (this could take a while ) on a blog myself.

The thing is, he got that calender delivered by a Cheerleader...while his wife wasn't home. That upset her. She TOLD him about it. He threw a fit and tore it up in front of her and next thing you know, he went and got another one. It was in his truck. No speculation there, he didn't care about her feelings. He wanted that Calender. He KNEW what was in it. This burning the Calendar wasn't meant to be taken serious. It was a joke that you've taken too far. For the record, I've NEVER EVER been to a LDS home where I've seen scantily clad women hanging on a wall some where. Most LDS men that I've ever known has more respect for the common woman than to treat them like objects as well as respecting their wife's feelings. Maybe I'm being naive or maybe I haven't been out in the world enough to see how most LDS men and women are but from the one's I'm around and seen, do their best to act in a Christ like manner. Wholesome and respectful. One that doesn't converse with the opposite sex on a continuous basis where the spouse can't see. Setting the calendar business aside, there's the issue of him texting and interacting with women behind her back. That's a no no. Were taught that in the Church. If her husband wasn't LDS and didn't share our concern about "standards" it might be a different argument. But in my opinion for what it's worth, he's not dumb. He knows what he's doing. If he truly loved his wife, these other women, scantily clad and all, wouldn't be part of the problem. He can't have his cake and eat it too. All in all, it's not a error. It's an on going ordeal for the OP. Most married men know this is not the normal conduct especially of an LDS man. As for MorningStar, I'm right there with you.

I kinda know what this is, I've seen it done on Westerns that is set back in the late 1800's. Although I'm over 24....twice to be exact. So that leaves me out.

Hi RipplecutBuddha, we haven't met but wanted to jump in here. This line bothers me a bit. "If in a year she hadn't found anyone else....she wants to get engaged" that kinda made me feel like she was settling if she hadn't found anyone else. If she was in love she wouldn't need to find anyone else. I'm sure you deserve to be more than second best to anyone. And I hope I'm reading that wrong. Since you guys are good friends, maybe taking it slow for awhile till she gets better to see how things go. Give her time to make sure she knows what she wants.

I agree about the fine line. I just recently lost my parents a year ago and few months. So much of it is still so vivid. Both my parents were under hospice care with the help of my sister and myself when they were not there. Is it possible when you were attending some of the patients last hours, that their body was just "functioning" somewhat, but felt that their spirit had already left the body, so at that point they weren't really physically suffering, they were just waiting for their body to shut down and the heart beat stop? My sister and I both got that feeling with both of our parents. Mom had Alzheimer's for a few years, but the last 5 months of her life her Dr. said that she had blood cancer. He didn't know what kind and they'd have to put her through some testing and at 83 my Dad, sister, brother and I agreed we didn't want to put her through that. Down to the last month things were progressing fast and Mom was almost child like. But she was in some pain and got to where she couldn't walk. She was too weak. 5 days before she passed, she went into an coma like state. My sister still gave her, her meds on time. What she could. She still swallowed some while sleeping. She actually looked peaceful. Like being in a long sleep. 6 hours before her passing, her breathing became more rapid, her chest was working over time, and after hours of sitting by her rubbing her hand and kissing her cheek, it took it's tole on all of us. My sister asked my Dad if he wouldn't mind if she called the Bishop to have someone come over for a blessing to release her. He nodded and she called our Bishop and he arranged it, but by the time they showed up, she had passed away on her own. What if the body is just hanging on strong and the spirit is just in limbo waiting on the outside of the body? In my mothers case I can see that. Would that then be the time when you can aid in helping the process? When things in the body is already shutting down? I do like the idea of having a blessing and letting it be in Heavenly Fathers hands from that point.

It's taking me 6 months off and on to join in here. I can be somewhat shy, so I lurked to make sure no one here bites. As far as I can tell it's safe. Actually it might of been closer to a year that I stumbled upon this forum. The situation I was in at the time left very little of the good spirit in the home. It was at a time when I lost my parents within 6 months of each other and life as I knew it changed considerably. Going to church once a week wasn't fulling that spiritual need the rest of the week when circumstances tore it down and made it rough. So I bookmarked this place and viewed it when I was able to. Visiting Teaching is great, but it's only once a month. More and more I've found it helpful to drop by specially if I'm having a rotten day or need an attitude adjustment. When you read about someone needing advice and their struggles, it makes you feel like you can get through your own. So a week ago I decided to sign up and leave the chicken at the door. Maybe loosing it in cyberspace some where. So I had a to think of a username and nothing was coming at me. It was either too cheesy, boring, something that wasn't me and finally I was just frustrated. LOL I wanted to just sign up. Somehow it came to me. I'm a work in progress. Something I have in my about on Facebook. Anyway, I am looking forward to being here, and learning from you all. I've been a member since 1978. Was inactive about 3 times since then. Not because I didn't believe in it. It was just pure laziness. Or something would come up on a Sunday with the family and it was too easy to hang out with the family. I come from a family who wasn't LDS. 6 or 7 years before me my sister became interested in the Church. Her and her husband was baptized. Her and I are 13 years apart. I was an accident. Our parents were stopping at two. A boy and girl. I fooled them. My sister took me to mutual a few times and I enjoyed it. A few years later I took the missionary lessons when I turned 12. Being in a non member family and having a best friend who wasn't LDS I didn't stick to it. Not like I should of. It wasn't till I turned 28 or so, the Relief Society showed up at my house and sang Happy Birthday to me. Quite a surprise for being out of the blue. Knowing some of the people made it easy for me to start being active. A few years later I moved with my parents to Idaho. Being in a neighborhood my parents were surrounded by Mormons. Within 7 years, they were baptized. And I was able to be sealed to my parents. They've both been gone since Fall 2011. They were my rock and best friends. It's comforting to know that I will be with them again. I'm also thankful to have found this forum. It's kept me afloat (well you all have) and focusing more on what I need to be doing. Another way of encouragement. I guess that's enough gibberish for one post. Don't want to be overwhelming on the first try. :)
