I’m relieved we’ll miss because of a family Fourth thing 100 miles away and we’re staying overnight. I’ve had enough frustration with this issue at church (a speaker a few weeks ago who was being so fear-mongery <—-yes, a new word of mine, and political about it,. that I would have gone home if I didn’t have to teach primary, so I’m glad for the break.

Well said! Thanks for this!

Thank you, Captain Harrison. i was so incensed by the words of this “Bishop” and I wanted to write my own take. Thankfully your words and other commentators to the original article have taken care of that for me.

I’m going to use your words on my blog post as well (I will link it). I’ve been face-palming at those posting the slanted version of this. Luckily, one of my cosnervative friends was responsive to me with “Thank for the info Jill. That’s good to know. I really feel that the reason we are all so defensive about the initial article that the media put up is because there is such an attack on the family. I know you would agree. I am not a fan of Obama but I do feel it unfair for the media to portray his message the way they did.” My issue is, if people aren’t going to like something, it should be for a truthful reason, not because of how something is slanted, twisted around and sprinkled with lies. Kind of like those that attack our faith. If you (general you) don’t like my faith, I hope it’s because you don’t believe what I believe and/or disagree with doctrinal things. it’s when someone attacks my faith because they believe the lies about it that really gets under my skin.
