I remain silent 99% of the time. I fear others and their reactions even when I believe most people have good intentions. It's something I'm working on. I've been reading this site for many years and never posted anything until this year. I've had some or all of the thoughts mentioned above. All that being said, here I am stepping out of my comfort zone to give my thoughts.

This kind of sounds like punishment to me as I read it. Mosiah 21:15 15 And now the Lord was slow to hear their cry because of their iniquities; nevertheless the Lord did hear their cries, and began to soften the hearts of the Lamanites that they began to ease their burdens; yet the Lord did not see fit to deliver them out of bondage.

I hope by saying "gentlemen", you don't mean only treating them with respect and being nice to them. One can still be a outwardly respectful and internally still have immoral thoughts about that person.

Took my daughter to see Miracles from Heaven a couple of weeks ago at the discount theater.

The semiconductor company I was working for said they were going to shut down the plant within 2 years, so I made the decision to go back to school. I have always had an interest in the healthcare field and back in the day wanted to be an X-ray tech. My studies back then did not allow me to pursue that desire so I took the semiconductor job. Jump forward to today and I have only 1 semester left of school. In the meantime the semiconductor company sold to another company and they are staying in business. It does allow me to keep working full time while going to school full time. (You know...insurance and benefits and all that...) There are other factors in my decision as well...needed change/growth in my life for personal reasons...felt best about this decision after much prayer.

So a little more about myself: 50 yrs old (feel like 30, sometimes act much younger, the kids would agree) Currently working for a semiconductor company as process technician. Going to school to change careers. Will work in physical therapy. (I finally decided what I want to be when I grow up.) Married with 4 children (2 boys, 2 girls) I like to listen to 70's-80's music (don't judge.) I'm a private person and have a tendency to bury my emotions. (A cause for concern, but one I trying to work on.) I don't know... what else should I post about myself?

I've been coming here and reading the forum for about 3.5 years. I've never signed up for an account until now and this is my first post. I've enjoyed reading the posts, but felt that I never really had anything worth posting. In an effort to reach out and change myself and become more socially active, here I am. I hope to be able to contribute to some of the conversations in the future.
