Last night I was feeling really sad. I got an e-mail from the American Family Association. It's a group I like to read because they are standing up for values that I believe in. The e-mail was explaining how PepsiCo has become a huge supporter of gay marriage and is pumping lots of money into groups that are promoting it. AFA was asking it's supporters to boycot PepsiCo products which include Pepsi, Quaker Oats, and Frito Lay. These are just common everyday things. The church has not asked us to boycot anyone so I probably won't do that. But, I just sat there sad thinking about all the changes that have happened to our world in my lifetime and especially since we planted that tree and have lived in this house. What happened to the America that I love???? Whenever I see a flag now, I almost start crying. I was so lucky to grow up in such an innocent time. You didn't have to be afraid to turn on the TV. Now if you turn it on all you hear are attacks on people who are standing up for traditional values. I almost cannot believe how fast things are spiriling out of control.
I think the time is here that we will certainly stand out as being different. I also think that we will be made fun of and mocked by many. We aren't mainstream Americans any more.
Thank heavens we have our prophets and apostles who tell us to keep up hope and to press on, that everything will be ok because God is in charge. I often wonder how God feels when he sees what is happening. He loves everyone and must shed so many tears himself over the conditions here.
All I can say is I hope these little ones are very strong and that their parents can shield them from all the craziness for as long as possible.

I also follow AFA and am also concerned with where things are headed. Now, more than ever, we need to follow and obey the men with "connections"... called in His name to lead! That is reassuring... I'm glad you added the exclamation point of those beautiful children to end you post! They are the hope and the reason we follow and fight for truth! I love you Terri! Thanks for being such a great example!
I love the picture of Harlee in sunglasses. It just really makes me smile.
I totally agree! I love listening to talk radio, but anymore it is just so depressing.
I've been reading Cleon Skousen's book, the 5,000 year miracle. I'm not far into it, but we have lost those values that the constitution was built on! All of it makes me very sad. We do need to be so very strong!
I do agree that things are getting worse and worse everyday. It is scary, but I have so much confidence in the good of people. We will have to separate ourselves more and more from the world and continue being kind to those around us. Thanks for the post!
