Now friends, you might be wondering just who <a href="http://inthedoghouse.hubpages.com/hub/Five-Top-Streetwear-Brands" target="_blank">The Hundreds</a>
actually are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Hundreds is a
streetwear company that is big.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean
big. Not only do they have a great clothing line, their branding is off the
chart too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have a cult following
that love their little BoMB logo and consequently try to post it everywhere…Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, you name it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
might say The Hundreds is the BOMB!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Besides their popularity in the fashion industry they have
an incredible online-magazine written exclusively by Bobby Hundreds
himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It lets you get some insight
into the life of the rich and famous through his eyes. His Blog is phenomenal
in fact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of my favorite posts
(besides the one about The Forest Lab, which is my favorite for sure) is called<a href="http://thehundreds.com/blog/2013/09/20/nanny-diaries/" target="_blank">
Nanny Diaries.</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><a href="http://thehundreds.com/blog/2013/09/20/nanny-diaries/" target="_blank"> </a> </span>It is about a woman named
Vivian Maier who was a closet photographer, meaning nobody knew she took
photos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t until she passed away
that all her photos were discovered.. it was a great story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ahhh, but I digress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really just wanted to say “Yipee” about the
press The Forest Lab got from them.</div>

It’s that time of the year again… just when we thought it
was safe to go back in the water…Discovery Channel brings us Shark Week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, like every year, the hunt for the legendary water
monsters continues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Headlining the week so far is the search for the ferocious
Megalodon, a huge prehistoric shark that is known as the deadliest killing
machine in the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Megalodon is a 67
foot long specimen of a super shark who lives off the coast of South
Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Discovery Channel kicked off
Shark Week by airing a documentary about the unfortunate fate of a fishing boat
that was on a fishing excursion just off the coast of Cape Town. The boat was
literally attacked by this thought to be extinct predator, leaving no survivors
in its wake. The poor souls on the boat never knew what hit them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lucky for the curious viewers of gruesome
shark attacks, a video camera was discovered in the wreckage showing exactly
what attacked the poor vessel. Believe it or not, it was the cousin of
Megalodon known as Submarine! Hold up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We didn’t actually see Submarine attack, we just heard the boaters cry
out while being attacked, in a fearsome scream, SHARK! </div>

It turns out that what was thought to be a documentary on
the mythical Megalodon turned out to be nothing more than a mockumentary.
Unfortunately many probably missed this quick disclaimer that the station aired
Sunday:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“None of the institutions or agencies that appear in the
film are affiliated with it in any way, nor have approved its contents. Though
certain events and characters in this film have been dramatized, sightings of
‘Submarine’ continue to this day. Megalodon was a real shark. Legends of giant
sharks persist all over the world. There is still debate about what they might
be.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are real shark attacks getting harder to find these days?
Have we already explored all the gruesome details of shark attacks available to
us on previous seasons of shark week? </div>

Perhaps this is the reason that Shark Week is taking the
lighter side of gruesome this year. A talk show series called “Shark after
Dark” has introduced us to a new character called Bob the Shark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://twitter.com/BobTheShark" target="_blank">Bob the Shark</a> has over 36,000 Twitter
followers and climbing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>

Shark Week also
aired a commercial featuring Snuffy the Seal, in another attempt at some shark
humor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a win.</div>

Adding to the levity of the season is “Voodoo Sharks”, a
show that features bayou hillbillies in search of the deadly “Rookin”. The
Rookin is a salt water predator turned fresh water killer, as a result of an
old voodoo curse, who stalks wildlife and people along the bayous of
Louisiana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Captain Blimp leads the crew
in search of this mythological Bull Shark using his homemade gadgets to help
him on his quest.</div>

Whatever turn Shark Week takes this year we will still be
curiously engaged, just in case it airs some poor beach goers chance encounter with
the sea demon itself. It’s like a car wreck; we just can’t seem to pass by
without looking. </div>

The Forest Lab had the rare opportunity of being invited to
join The Champ during one of his training sessions at the Mayweather Boxing
Club in Las Vegas. Among the throngs of family, friends, reporters, and fans,
they found Floyd Mayweather engaged in his routine, focused and disciplined. From
sparring to jumping rope his concentration was precise, never distracted. The
energy level at the gym was raging as the entourage shouted with him through
his entire session, responding appropriately when he spoke certain words. They
all worked together like a well-oiled machine pumping out a product of sheer
perfection. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My son is an Eagle Scout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have participated in the Boy Scouts of America program as I helped
serve in areas that helped my son and others progress forward on the path to
Eagle, the highest rank within the program. Frankly I must admit I have become disillusioned
by the way the institution is being handled today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Boy Scouts have been in the news a lot lately regarding
the issue of allowing “openly gay” boys to participate in the program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Scouting National Council of 1,232
delegates from across the country voted to lift the ban and the policy will
change January 1, 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lifted ban has only
fueled the controversy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some opponents on the right said they would pull their
sponsorships of packs and troops, and parents threatened to take their boys out
of Scouting; LGBT activists said the policy change doesn't go far enough
because gay adults still wouldn't be allowed to participate. It seems the
political move didn’t satisfy anyone really. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I believe that the ban has opened the door for a policy
change in the near future which will allow gay leaders to participate too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When a boy reaches the rank of Eagle he is
given a charge. Among other things he is charged with the responsibility to “help
advance other Scouts along the Eagle trail”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is charged to “be a leader, but lead only
toward the best.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It stands to reason
that an Eagle has more than a right; he has a responsibility to be a leader in
the organization. How is it logical to ban him from serving in the organization
simply for being gay? <a href="http://www.allegiancemusical.com/blog-entry/keep-myself-physically-strong-mentally-awake-and-morally-straight" target="_blank">Activists are already working on that one, believe me.</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still<a href="http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021451328_faithdority20xml.html" target="_blank"> others have voiced loud protests demanding the BSA to “end discrimination” by allowing atheist, humanist, and nontheistic participants </a>which
are currently banned from participation because of their non-conformity to the BSA
oath which states “duty to God” as one of its core principles. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement,
made this statement:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;">"The Scout, in his promise, undertakes to do his duty
to his king and country only in the second place; his first duty is to God. It
is with this idea before us and recognizing that God is the one Father of us
all, that we Scouts count ourselves a brotherhood despite the difference among
us of country, creed, or class. We realize that in addition to the interests of
our particular country, there is a higher mission before us, namely the
promotion of the Kingdom of God; That is, the rule of Peace and Goodwill on
earth. In the Scouts each form of religion is respected and its active practice
encouraged and through the spread of our brotherhood in all countries, we have
the opportunity in developing the spirit of mutual good will and understanding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;">"There is no religious "side" of the
movement. The whole of it is based on religion, that is, on the realization and
service of God.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;">"Let us, therefore, in training our Scouts, keep the
higher aims in the forefront, not let ourselves get too absorbed in the steps.
Don't let the technical outweigh the moral. Field efficiency, back
woodsmanship, camping, hiking, Good Turns, jamboree comradeship are all means,
not the end. The end is CHARACTER with a purpose.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

He obviously was a very spiritual man and had a lofty goal for this group.</div>

Suddenly the Boy Scouts of America isn’t looking like the
organization it was meant to be at all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These were all thoughts I had been pondering for quite some
time, and then my friend sent me a link to a story about <a href="https://summit.scouting.org/en/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">The Summit Bechtel Family
National Scout Reserve.</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><a href="https://summit.scouting.org/en/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank"> </a> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also in the news because it is the
location of the BSA National Jamboree this year, which is held every four
years.<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/special-report-439-million-camp-adds-boy-scouts-104716022.html" target="_blank"> I encourage you to read the article for yourself, it is an eye opener.</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This made me stand at attention:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;">The Summit is more than the ultimate Scout camp. It was
envisioned as a way to shore up the finances of an organization burdened by a
long-term drop in membership, costly sexual-abuse lawsuits and a bruising
battle over whether to admit gay members. The park would bring in even more in
donations than it would cost to build, Scout leaders concluded.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: magenta;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;">"The Summit gives us the opportunity to reintroduce
ourselves to America and raise $1 billion for the best youth development in the
world," says a slide from a June 2010 presentation on the project.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: magenta;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;">It isn't panning out that way. Costs are rising. Initially
budgeted at $176 million through 2013, the Summit's cost is now estimated to
reach at least $350 million by the end of this year and $439 million by the end
of 2015, according to Scouts documents reviewed by Reuters. To keep up, the
Scouts issued new bonds last year - more than doubling their previous borrowing
for the project.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Perhaps all this political correctness the BSA is trying to achieve
is solely motivated by money.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Are they
simply trying to please those who they are trying to solicit funds from?</b> <u>Where

I was only a young child when Dr. King participated in the
Civil Rights movement of the sixties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was barely three years old when he organized the historic march on our nation’s
capital with a peaceful demonstration demanding justice for all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I watched the video of his moving <a href="http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm" target="_blank">“I have a dream” </a>speech.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked through the sea
of people who were there, black and white, coming together for a common cause.</div>

I listened as he cautioned the nation about overlooking the
urgency of the moment, about remembering the passion represented there that day
and not going back to “business as usual” without initiating a change for the
better.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I was enlightened as he implored those of color to not be
guilty of doing wrongful deeds in the process of gaining freedom from
inequality. I saw him warn them not to drink of the cup of bitterness and
hatred, but to take the “high plane of dignity and discipline”, never allowing
violence to enter into the struggle.</div>

I saw his evangelical style of preaching crescendo as he

live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but
by the content of their character.”</div>

I was moved when he finished with his “Let freedom ring”
chorus, ending with, “And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring,
when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and
every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be
able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:</div>

In The Doghousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14168341244739209780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596027162102657207.post-74118240676636473372013-07-15T16:57:00.000-07:002013-07-16T11:01:33.193-07:00Federal Civil Rights Prosecution Zimmerman-Martin CaseIt's been a really long time since I have been on my "soapbox" but after watching the closure of the 210 freeway in LOS ANGELES this morning on the news, because of marching protesters, angry over the verdict of the Zimmerman/Martin case in FLORIDA, I simply had to jump in on the fuss.<br />
<br />
I believe that Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman are both victims in this sad affair. It is sad when any person, regardless of race, is lost due to violence of any kind. My heart goes out to all of the family and friends who are effected on both sides of this tragedy. <br />
<br />
I happen to believe in the current justice system that we uphold as a nation, flawed as it is, it is the best out there. The prosecutions duty was to provide evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman murdered Martin, and did not act in self defense. They obviously did not provide that evidence. Period... the end. Then why has this turned into a national crisis over "civil rights"?<br />
Anything to divide. That is the job of the media.<br />

Is the system perfect? NO. Can it be improved? OF COURSE. But today we live in a nation where any ethnicity can become a CEO, Millionaire, Celebrity, or even President of the United States. Today there are probably more intercultural and interracial marriages and unions than any other time in the history of our country. Today a person can improve on their situation no matter their socioeconomic situation, race, or sexual orientation if they are individually motivated and desire to do so! </span></span></span></span><br />

Because one person was killed by another person? Whether his death was justifiable or not, it can not be classified the same as the martyrs of the great civil rights movement. When I first heard about the Trayvon Martin case from different media outlets it conjured an image in my mind of an African American child, maybe 11, being gunned down by an old white man who followed him from a store or something in like manner. From images and posts I have seen, I am clearly not the only one who had such an image in their mind. Unfortunately this image is simply not true. In reality, Treyvon was not as young, innocent, or helpless as made out to be and Zimmerman is not the hood-wearing, racist, champion of the white supremacists as he has been made out to be. In fact, I doubt that any white supremest group would even grant him entrance into their twisted backwoods clubs let alone membership! It seems to me that it was two grown men whose individual prejudices resulted in a confrontation that resulted in the tragic death of a young man. It appears to me that both men were neither saints, nor solely responsible for the altercation. Fortunately for Zimmerman and unfortunately for Treyvon's family and loved ones the tragic altercation didn't leave enough evidence for a jury to convict Zimmerman of a crime beyond reasonable doubt. </span></span></span></span><br />

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who need to the feed the fire in order to stay relevant in an ever increasing tolerant world! These once great men who learned at the feet of Dr. King and marched for equality have outlived their usefulness and instead of promoting peace and greater tolerance sew the seeds of discrimination and divisiveness in order to glorify their own personal profiles and agendas. And the various media outlets of today only increase the tension by spinning lies and contention to sell a story. These people are the real villains!</span></span></span></span><br />

Very opportunistic of the media to place this story in the forefront of everyone's minds just prior to a nationally publicized trial that had been racially charged due to media hype! It is ok to decimate the career of a repentant former racist to justify the means of selling a national story of the need for more civil rights for equality!? What possible outcome can come from people rioting, or marching, or protesting the Zimmerman verdict across the nation? Greater equality in the nation or more fame to the aforementioned parties? I doubt it will change the hearts of individuals in the fight for people to judge other based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.</span></span></span></span><br />

Presumably they're not talking about all American children but African American children. Who are "They" and who is "Us"? This doesn't help promote the civil rights that came at an extremely high cost! This doesn't help people of all ethnicities come together and break down prejudices and other barriers for equality.

Put the "civil rights" flag down and go serve your neighbor no matter what they look like! Teach your children to have friends of all shapes, colors, cultures and religions!

People will have questions regarding our Church, and our beliefs. Today I listened to a wonderful talk given by<a href="http://oos.ldschurch.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/background-information/leader-biographies/president-dieter-f-uchtdorf"> President Uchtdorf</a> as he addressed the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, which gave concise information regarding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in a wide range of areas.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">"The Los Angeles World Affairs Council promotes greater understanding of current global issues and their impact on the people of Southern California by inviting authoritative, influential figures in world affairs to Los Angeles and providing them an open forum."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">President Uchtdorf addressed topics like:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul><li>Our belief in Jesus Christ.</li>
<li>Our belief in The Ten Commandments as divine laws.</li>
<li>The growth of The Church.</li>
<li>The importance of higher education, with information about Church Universities and Institutes.</li>
<li>LDS Charities.</li>
<li>The Church welfare system, highlighting the importance of self reliance.</li>
<li>LDS Humanitarian Aid.</li>
<li>The Family Proclamation.</li>
<li>Temples.</li>
<li>Basic core doctrinal beliefs and value systems. </li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Some of my favorite quotes were:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“In my lifetime I have experienced and worked in times of grim challenges and uncertainty. I was a refugee twice, and I have witnessed how opposing political systems impacted the life of a large number of people in very divergent ways. I learned by experience how important high moral and ethical values are in leadership, irrespective of political systems.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Too often the teachings of our respective faiths are kept in an abstract religious box cautiously separated from personal conduct. Divine leadership principles are based on the commandment that ‘Ye love one another’ and that is irrespective of religion. By reemphasizing this commandment, the Savior has made feeding his sheep one of our ongoing responsibilities which cannot be dismissed. Leaders whose leadership reflects integrity and goodness could do much to create a better world for our children and grandchildren.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div>"It takes courage … and humility to put away old hatred, divisions and traditions that constrict and confine people into a blind succession of destructive behavior toward others. It is within our reach to breach barriers of hate and build bridges of brotherhood and understanding between opposing cultures, beliefs, religion and world views."<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">He closed with a request and a blessing, “God is not merely an abstract concept, He’s not. He lives. As we trust in God and listen to His voice, regardless of our faith and our religion, He will help us personally, and collectively, in these challenging times. There is hope, there’s a great future ahead of us. It is in our hands to make it happen. Of this I bear witness as an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you and may God bless you all.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I just wonder if those in attendance realize how blessed they really were to hear from that great man.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Just so you know, the video is really worth watching…..<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Sometimes temptation rears its head in the most unexpected ways. Think of the times you have been given too much change back, by mistake.<span> </span>Or perhaps when the cashier forgot to charge you for an item and you were already home before you realized it. Doing the right thing can be hard, or inconvenient, rationalization could get the best of you and you could easily conclude that it wasn’t your fault you ended up with a sudden win fall.<span> </span><span> </span>Integrity could be easily sold in the face of monetary gain. <span> </span>This wasn’t the case with Josh Ferrin.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Josh Ferrin, an artist for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City, had just purchased his first home for his family in Bountiful Utah and was excited to finally have a place that he and his wife and children could call their own.<span> </span>Upon receiving the keys to his new place, Ferrin walked into the garage and saw a piece of cloth that hung to an attic door.<span> </span>He opened the hatch and climbed up the ladder.<span> </span>He noticed a metal box that looked like a World War II ammunition case and pulled it down.<span> </span>Imagine his shock when he discovered it was stuffed full of tightly wound rolls of cash bundled together with twine.<span> </span>But that was not all; he found seven more boxes with the same contents in them, totalling over $40,000.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ferrin was faced with a decision.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"I'm not perfect, and I wish I could say there was never any doubt in my mind. We knew we had to give it back, but it doesn't mean I didn't think about our car in need of repairs, how we would love to adopt a child and aren't able to do that right now, or fix up our outdated house that we just bought," Ferrin said. "But the money wasn't ours to keep and I don't believe you get a chance very often to do something radically honest, to do something ridiculously awesome for someone else and that is a lesson I hope to teach to my children."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The previous owner of the home was Arnold Bangerter, a simple man who had worked as a biologist for the Utah Department of Fish and Game.<span> </span>He had died in November and left the house to his children.<span> </span>Both he and his wife had purchased the home in 1966 and had lived there with their family, his wife passing away previously in 2005.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"I could imagine him in his workshop. From time to time, he would carefully bundle up $100 with twine, climb up into his attic and put it into a box to save. And he didn't do that for me," Farrin said. So with that Ferrin called Bangerter’s sons with the news of the discovery.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Kay Bangerter said he knew his father hid away money because he once found a bundle of cash taped beneath a drawer in their home, but he never considered his dad had stuffed away so much over the years.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"He grew up in hard times and people that survived that era didn't have anything when they came out of it unless they saved it themselves," Kay Bangerter, the oldest of the six children, told the Deseret News. "He was a saver, not a spender."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Bangerter called the money's return "a story that will outlast our generation and probably yours as well."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://inthedoghousenow.blogspot.com/2010/08/lord-tested-nephi.html">I believe that we will all be given opportunities to prove ourselves worthy of the trust and confidence the Lord desires to have in us.</a> Who knows, perhaps this is just a part of the Abrahamic test that Ferrin was given to prove his faithfulness, allowing him to receive greater blessings from his Father.<span> </span>I believe you can’t put a price on that one! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div style="color: #990000;">Psalms 89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.</div><div style="color: #990000;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNormal">“We can experience that greater joy if we but look for it! Too often we fail to experience the bliss that comes from daily practical priesthood service…. let us not pass through life immersed in the three dark W’s, worried, worrying, and whining. We live beneath our privileges when we allow worldly anchors to keep us away from the abundant joy that comes from faithful and dedicated priesthood service, <b>especially within the walls of our own home</b>. We live beneath our privileges when we fail to partake of the feast of happiness, peace, and joy that God grants so bountifully to faithful priesthood servants. “<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I want to partake of that feast….<br />

I have spent many hours listening to my darling young women friends as they discuss their frustrations when it comes to the “dating scene”. The fear of the unknown weighs heavily on their souls. This fear is not exclusive to women. Believe me; men have the same fears and anxiety too. So when my darling sister-in-law shared the YouTube video called <b>“I will wait for you”</b> on Facebook, I guess it just hit a certain spot in my heart. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Janette McGhee is an evangelical poetess who goes by the name of Genetics, or Janette…ikz. She shares her poetry with the Passion for Christ Movement, and she is the author of the poem, <b>"I will wait for you"</b>. Her delivery it is not exactly what one might hear from the traditional “suits and pearls” that speak to us in the traditional LDS way, but none the less, for me, she spoke with power and truth.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</tbody></table><i> </i></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i> </i> </div><div class="MsoNormal">The <span style="font-size: large;">Washington Post</span> has a column called<span style="font-size: large;"> On Faith </span>that talks about religious issues in the news. Thanks to my <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/InTheDoghouse">Twitter </a>addiction I stumbled onto an article written on the subject of these two Mormon potentials by, yes… wait for it…, a Professor of philosophy from Biola University, a Christian. <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Fear-of-Sharing-Something-Spiritual--Joseph-Smiths-First-Vision"><i>(Remember, a lot of people think Mormon’s aren’t Christians… )</i></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The title of the article is <b>“The Christian case for Mormon Values”</b>. Catchy, right? The author, John Mark Reynolds <i>(coincidentally two very Christian names.. I think not)</i>, did an extremely civil job of throwing his support for the Mormon leaders out there for the world to consider. In fact, he makes a really good case for Christian support of these Mormon men. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He states,<span style="color: #990000;">” God works in mysterious ways to perform His wonders. Old Testament prophets complained about the instruments God chose, but God went on being God despite their complaints. 2012 is likely to give Americans two serious candidates for president that are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS). Many conservative Christians, for good and bad, get inspiration and information from Glenn Beck, who is also a member of the Church.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Reynolds continues,<span style="color: #990000;"> “Should Americans be concerned? Bluntly, no, though those of us who are not Mormon should be depressed that such a small group has outworked, out thought, and out hustled us. Mormon success should spur traditional Christians, who outnumber Mormons by tens of millions, to do better.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">Sadly ignorance of the LDS Church is widespread in our culture. Despite over a century of faithful citizenship and embracing family values, stupid stereotypes remain. Magically much of the media easily remembers Glenn Beck is Mormon, but keeps forgetting that Harry Reid is as well. Sacred garments on Christians and Jews are normal, but sacred garments on Mormons?”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Way to go Brother Reynolds!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I believe that he reached his peak of the address when he praised Mormon’s in the following way…</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">“If this is, as the Washington Post suggests, a Mormon moment, it is because Mormons clung to truths now unfashionable and addressed questions others ignore. They suffered exile in their own land, persecution, and the need to change important ideas to be part of the broader culture. This American experience taught them good lessons about America. Being right is powerful and most LDS are right on many of today's big issues: the nature of family, the protection of life, defense of religious liberty, and republican values.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">Traditional Christians should learn from their example and patriotic Americans should celebrate their effective service.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>How about that for a Christian endorsement? </b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>The Mormon's might just be the mysterious way God is moving in, huh?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Perhaps you would like to read the entire post? <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_2033987557"> </a><a href="http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/john_mark_reynolds/2011/02/an_american_trumpet.html">Click here</a> and check it out for yourself.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Don't be alarmed at all the wacky comments that people are posting in response to his article... whenever you talk about Mormon's those people crawl out of the woodwork, right Churchlady?<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Regardless, thanks John Mark Reynolds for all the good things you have said about my people!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Yesterday a friend put up a link on Facebook for a Blog post called, <a href="http://www.danoah.com/2010/10/worthless-women-and-men-who-make-them.html">“Worthless Women and the Men Who Make Them”</a>.<span> </span>I don’t know about you, but for me the title peaked my interest.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I clicked on the link and it took me to a Blog called <b>Single Dad Laughing</b>. Now the initial piece my friend posted is well worth the read, but because I was intrigued I poked around the Blog for a while.<span> </span>I was pleasantly surprised.<span> <i> </i></span><i>In fact, it was one of those times that I had hope for society as a whole,</i> as I glimpsed into the thoughts of this one man.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Single Dad Laughing</b> began as an outlet for a man who had “failed” at marriage twice.<span> </span>He started out by posting humorous, snarky, blog posts that poked fun at everyday situations a single, divorced, parent might face.<span> </span>Then something in his life changed… and his posts became very insightful.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He explained:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">"Last week I was hanging out with my incredible and beautiful friend, Wendy. We were immersed heavily in this very topic, and she asked, "how did you know when you actually loved yourself?"</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">It was a profound question. I had to think before I could give an honest answer. And then it hit me. "I knew that I loved myself when I stopped comparing myself to others. I knew that I loved myself when I stopped looking for the wrong in others. I knew that I loved myself when every other person suddenly looked beautiful to me. That's when I knew. It had nothing to do with myself, and everything to do with others." </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">And the more I've thought about it, the more I believe that to be true.<span> </span>People who love themselves, don't hurt other people. People who love themselves have no reason to ever judge another person on looks. There is simply no need. People who love themselves no longer look at beauty on a sliding scale or as a competition. There is nobody more beautiful or less beautiful than anyone else, including themselves. People who love themselves no longer see fat or skinny, tall or short, fair or dark skin, gay or straight, strong or weak. They only see people. Beautiful, beautiful people."</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have decided that even though I am an old married woman, <b>Single Dad Laughing</b> has a lot of great things to say.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Please go and read the post <a href="http://www.danoah.com/2010/10/worthless-women-and-men-who-make-them.html">“Worthless Women and the Men Who Make Them”</a>, it has a ton of great insights for both men and women.<span> </span>It is kinda long… but worth the read.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
