The last 2 weeks in particular I have been overwhelmed by the crime, depressing stories, and wickedness in this world. I am trying to avoid the news, but I unfortunately have to read things at my police job. One of the police officer's that I work with (who is not LDS) commented that he used to get dispatched to Mental subjects calls once or twice a month and now it is almost a daily occurrence, what is going on??? (I am sure there are even more calls in a larger city)
I worry about my future kids and what they will have to go through. I worry about the porn surrounding us. I worry about violence and language in movies and video games. I worry about drugs and other addictive things.
So this week I have been trying to figure out how to protect myself and family from all of that. I realize I cannot keep us all at home all the time, so what have I come up with?
I cannot solve this. The only person who can bring us peace and lasting happiness is the Savior! Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty (I love the show for the humor and devotion to God) said it best.....
It is sad that our country, state, and cities are pushing religion out the door. I believe that if we pray, study the scriptures, seek to do good, listen and watch uplifting things, and have a sincere desire to improve out relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus that we can survive all of these worries. That's all for now folks, just had to get that out!
