Hon, don't give up on yourself. The Adversary tells you that you are worthless, not good enough, or hopeless or fill in the blank, NOT God! Remember that.

Ya know, aside from my confirmation and a couple of settings apart, I haven't had a single blessing since I was a baby. My Dad died when I was quite young and my brother never really stepped up to the plate, in that manner. Nor has a single one of the Home Teachers I have had in my entire life. HTs have always been quite scarse in my experience. If I see them more than once a year, that is a VERY big surprise! I really wish my HTs had been more persistent or dedicated when I was growing up, I know there was more than a few times that I sorely needed help and didn't get it. Part of me feels a little upset when it comes to the priesthood, but I think that is mainly because I am unfamiliar with it.

Well, the description of this folder mentioned poetry, so I figured I would share something I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Sorry if it's off topic or deemed not appropriate. <div align="center">Rebellion Against reason, I sat on the swing. I'm a grown-up, grown-ups don't do such things. Up, up and away I went. I got lost in the clouds in the endless azure above. I forgot about my agnst, the day to day worries, my ugliness, the desire to "conform" to be "accepted" and just let my mind run free. I wasn't on the ground! I was flying! I was dancing from cloud to cloud, teasing the birds! After a while, I looked down and saw my shadow. How undignified! A heavy, grown-up woman sitting in a swing meant for children! Ashamed, I got out of my swing and went home. As I went home, I thought to myself, "I don't like looking at my shadows. I think I'll stick to the clouds instead!"</div>

MSU-N stands for Northern. North-Central part of Montana.

I happen to own a copy of Blades of Glory. I happen to like it, but my sense of humor is...... not exactly tame. I wouldn't advice letting kids watch it.

Hallo there! I'm also following the other folks from the MADB boards. I'm more of a person who sits and listens rather than speak up, both IRL and online, I guess I'm saying that I'm pretty shy. About me? Hmm, I'm not really interesting, but here goes. I'm 26ish and a female nursing student at good ol' MSU-N in Montana. I was born to convert parents and have been a member of the church since age 8. I've had periods of being inactive for years at a time. It's only been recently that I've been sincerely interested in learning about the church, warts and all. So far, I feel pretty okay and comfortable with what I've been learning. I'm starting to think that maybe there IS a place for someone was warped as myself in the church. I also have a slight *ahem* addiction to works by Monty Phython, Jim Carrey and Will Farrell. Hopefully this won't make people complain TOO much.
