General Conference

I thought Richard G. Scott's talk was incredibly powerful. What an amazing and fantastic message. I had yet again another "recollection" of how blessed I am, how fortunate I am. What a horrible trial that would be to deal with sexual abuse. I know that millions deal with it; that it is not uncommon. My life is so simple; my trials are so small. My blessings are HUGE. I don't know why I felt the need to blog about it. I strongly feel for those dealing with such hard, confusing issues. Perhaps that's why I went into Psychology. I love offering the message of hope to such a horrible situation. I was amazed at the words Elder Scott spoke when he talked about how although the outcomes of abuse have a profound effect on your life THEY DO NOT DEFINE YOU! It was an amazing talk. Everyone must read it. Abuse is such a huge part of our society; effecting people we meet and see everyday. Now I shall get out my my swords and armor and stand with my children cradled behind me to fight against it. May I do everything I can to protect them and educate them and hopefully save them from having to figure out how to forgive someone against such a horrible offense.
