I actually made it to FHE. Going there is a real trial for me and then you add annoying's possible appearance and avoidance thing with ALL his damn rabid fans and there are more reasons for me not to attend. I missed FHE when I was taking my real estate classes. I wanted to see if Curtis attends and he doesn't. I know it's important. I want to establish that habit and treat it the way I should.

Jen, YES THAT ONE!!! Came and sat by me as we were about to play some sort of YES board or card game while the rest played capture the flag. I had on my grey and white wedges, NOOOT appropriate footwear for running around AND I didn't feel like getting my toes kicked. YES I knew what we were doing and I could've changed my shoes but I didn't feel like it or changing my clothes. Jen sealed the deal and I left. She told me she wanted to sit by me and not to leave. If she only knew she made my decision to leave even stronger. Why is she such a diehard!!! I don't like being mean but that is the only way to get rid of her. I don't know why girls always want to be my friend so damn much. Krista is the real diehard but I actually enjoy her company AND she doesn't want to spend EVERY waking moment with me. Elenoa was sooo overwhelming and while Helene wasn't, she became that way and now I have no desire to spend time with her either.

Yesterday was from hell. I went to sign my lease and the manager said rent was raised. I told her she left me a notice saying it wouldn't be raised if I signed it again before May 9th. I was so ticked at her for that and ready to leave. In the midst of my annoyance/frustration I started looking for somewhere else and I found apartments NOT in my ward boundaries and I'm not going to attend Logan 2nd ward. My temple trainer owns a home in my boundaries and I inquired about that too. In the midst of this and thinking of how much I hate moving the manager leaves a message on my voice mail saying she is sorry and that I am right.

After living with my pretty kitchen I really don't want a new ugly one. I am ready to move just because the management ticked me off. I would rent Jeanette's entire basement if I did that. I don't think I want to have to share the use of a washer and dryer or the kitchen although that's really not a big deal. I felt guided by the spirit to move to the Falls. I also thought I'd get married right away and get a rent break for a 2-bedroom I don't really need. I've had a 2-bedroom since I moved here however and looking at the nice places in Salt Lake City and their accompanying rent makes me think I'm lucky. I like that there is a full time maintenance team so I can get anything I need fixed right away.

I get to work and one of our business instructors doesn't have access to the e-book I gave her access to on April 28th. Her class starts last night. REALLY you have the nerve to tell me that NOW???!!! I love my friend Katie. That is the first time she got the hell on my nerves. Then she made it worse and tried to tell me how to do my job. We were both trying VEEERY hard to keep professional. She is frustrated but so am I.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Cengage one of our publishers because as I tried to get Katie access to the e-book for some reason it had been deleted from my page. I talked to three different people before it was returned. Sooo I FINALLY get Katie access to the e-book for her class. I'm thinking all is good BUUUT it begins in a couple hours and she doesn't have instructor resources like the Power Point presentations, tests and quizzes. She is upset and talking to our dean. I am upset too so I go down there as well.

After my lease experience I went through the Carl's JR drive-through because I hadn't eaten ALL day. After I pay I am wondering why it is taking so long. I am already late to get back to work. The cashier comes to tell me it'll be awhile because the person in front of me had a large order. I tell him I'm already late for work and to give me my money back. I get to wait AGAIN until they FINALLY give me my change and I can go to work only to deal with Katie.

Sooo I'm cranky and hungry and want to pull out my hair but instead I go to the McDonald's drive-through and buy a cheap Big Mac meal before going home and thinking of how nice it would be to miss FHE BUT then I know the nice easy way is the way of the adversary and that I need to go to the Capture the flag thing so I do and I'm happy I had the energy to take myself there BUT I am still even happier to leave and I buy that whipped cream pastry thing from Macey's a couple cans of tuna and chips for Cinqo De Mayo. I spend the rest of the night being a vegetable and watching a Korean medical drama. Sometimes I just don't want to think. It is my escape.

Words of Mormon
17 For behold, king Benjamin was a ^aholy man, and he did reign over his people in righteousness; and there were many holy men in the land, and they did speak the word of God with ^bpower and with authority; and they did use much ^csharpness because of the stiffneckedness of the people—

Russell M. Ballard CES Fireside
Or perhaps a member of the quorum of the 12 apostles. Uh huh.
Meet leaders of the world, humble homes, ministered to the poor
See and experience the world NOT in a bubble, too old - 9 over 80, he is 85 this should provide the youth comfort. They are not out-of-touch with their lives. None are shrinking violets, counseled together after much prayer and discussion, young at heart.

3 Important 

Use of Technology
We cannot stand on the sidelines. Use advances in technology to share views on blogs, twitter, Facebook, Instagram, snapchat... , Pintrest
Ever-changing world, good and not-so-good
Smartphones interfere with relationships adjustments need to be made, excessive text-messaging, Facebooking, twitter. Leave the room. 
Take advantage to talk and visit with family, don't text during sacrament meeting, focus on what is happening, commit to the spirit without these distractions
History does repeat itself
Do not scroll during the sacrament. Focus on the atonement. Put in airplane mode the entire Sunday block. Find a refuge from the storm, wean yourself from your electronic devices, the temple is nice to do this in. You can hear the spirit clearly there and receive answers to your prayers. All temples are a sanctuary for serenity and a house for quiet contemplation. We are at war, the one started in the pre-existence, put on the whole armor of God. Don't wait, begin now. The Lord needs you now. The church needs modern stripling warriors, young, exceedingly valiant for courage, strength and activity, true at all times in whatsoever they were entrusted. Men of truth and soberness. 

Pornography
Fight against pornography, rewires brain, trains you to treat people badly and as objects, this self-concealment hurts their own relationships, damages their self-esteem, trust, deadly, kills genuine human relationships, marriages, deadly poison kills body and mind, do not think this can be stopped, if you are involved in this overcome it now. Do not wait, leave it alone. Step forward and join the ranks of other dedicated men and women.

Marriage
The family is ordained of God. Honor vows with complete fidelity. Traditional definition of marriage is under attack. Changes in civil law do not, indeed cannot change God's laws. His law of chastity is clear. We are responsible to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. The experience of same sex attraction is a reality but they can choose what they do with those feelings. Love, strive to help. We warn that individuals who violate laws of chastity, the disintegration of the family will bring calamities foretold by prophets, I am one to blow the trumpet and warn the people, I do so because I love you. Invitation is also to come unto him.

Bless with peace of the Lord, the calm assurance of Jesus Christ. You are precious to preparing the world for the coming of the Savior. May we leave this meeting with his love.
