I heard that some women walked into LDS chapels where the Priesthood Session of General Conference and stayed for the session even though they knew that it was online. I'm not sure what to think about this except that Ordain Women is trying very hard to continue their bad behavior.
It boils down to one word. Apostasy.
The Ordain Women movement is of the devil and I truly wish that they would stop their crusade against God and Christ. They HAVE clearly crossed the line to apostasy, as Lynn G. Robbins said in his talk during the Saturday morning session of General Conference, "Lowering the Lord's behavior to the world's inappropriate behavior is apostasy."
The Ordain Women group is trying to lower the Lord's behavior instead of elevating their own, They are apostates and sadly, apostates must be cast out as they have chosen not to walk the path God has set out after making covenants with God and Christ. Everyone has the right to make choices, but nobody has the right to choose the consequences of their choices; they must face them however.

Free Agency and Compassion
Okay, get this straight; God did not authorize same-gender marriage, but he left man to
their agency and they chose to make it legal. Man made the choice to authorize this and God did not
lower Himself to the world's inappropriate behavior; rather, the world
tried to lower God to its inappropriate behavior and such a thing will
never happen.
Man has their agency and God, by His own divine law, will not interfere in either the making of the choices or any consequences of the choices made. Everyone has the right to make their own choices even if they do not choose the path of God and Jesus Christ, but they cannot choose the consequences that come forth.
Compassion and understanding are important, however, as we are all children of God and we should love one another even though some may make choices that don't agree with religious beliefs. I just want people to understand that God does not force decisions upon man; man makes their own decisions and has to live with them. God teaches us compassion and love; thus, we should show it to all around us.

The Trouble With Big Brother - August 31, 2014
Okay, I haven't bothered to watch Big Brother since about Season 10
and it was only halfheartedly because I liked the earlier seasons so
much; there was more fun, more people that I could connect with, and
less perversions among the Houseguests. I do keep up with it through
articles posted on Facebook sometimes, though, and I read an article
concerning two of the Houseguests making some very lewd suggestions
about what they should do to some of their fellow Houseguests. I won't
go into detail, as you can find the article easily, but I have to say
that I was horrified and feel that I must express my thoughts.
In response to Frankie's DISGUSTING behavior:
This is NOT acceptable behavior even on a show like Big Brother; since when did it become acceptable to producers and other houseguests to threaten or joke about threatening the safety of another Houseguest?
In past seasons, when Houseguests made comments that threatened another Houseguest's safety or did things that actively threatened another Houseguest's safety, they were either called to the Diary Room and expelled by or given a warning as to that being the consequence for any future inappropriate behavior! I read this article and it's like everyone went 'meh' over something extremely serious and inappropriate!
Why would ANYONE want to be in a house or fans of a game that ignores very serious things like this? Has rape suddenly become something cool enough to joke about? I shouldn't think so and I am APPALLED that NOTHING was done about this either inside or out of the house. Joking about raping someone is a criminal offense and Frankie could be criminally charged for his 'joke.'
Please express your thoughts about what I've said, but please don't cuss in the comments.

Oh, and in response to Derrick's
disgusting support of the disgusting behavior? According to his bio, he
is a COP; someone who is sworn to uphold and defend the law. A cop needs
to have a certain amount of dignity and respect for others NO MATTER
WHAT simply because that is part of the oath one takes when they become a
cop.
I mean, it's bad enough when regular people do that sort of stuff on TV, but when an officer of the law, who people are supposed to trust with their safety and lives, pulls that kind of behavior, is he really worthy of being allowed to return to his job as a cop when this whole game is over? I'm not really sure he should be allowed to.
This is what corrupt media does to our society; it desensitizes people to the point where EVERYTHING is in the gray area and black and white barely exist. Is this what the future of the world is? Do we want to live in a world where there is no such thing as boundaries, morals, or a sense of right and wrong?
Okay, seriously, if I would have heard a joke like that, I would have slapped the Christmas out of the person saying it and/or given them major crap for it. The whole thing crossed the line and yes, I'm sure there are/will be those who consider it a joke and laugh it off, but try and put yourselves and/or your loved ones in the shoes of those whom the jokes were directed to. How would you feel and how do you think they would feel?

We Have to Give Them ALL
This afternoon, I was helping my mother pick up branches, leaves, and twigs in our front yard that had been deposited there during a very nasty thunder/hail storm last night. I saw that some of the smaller leaves blended so well into the yard and I asked my mom if we had to get the small leaves and she said, "We need to get all of them." That got me likening the situation to the Atonement and how, in order for it to work for us, we need to be willing to and actively give ALL of our sins to the Savior in order for things to get spiritually better for us. We can't hang on to the tiny sins and just hand over the big ones, thinking that the small ones won't make a difference.
Similar to service, however, even the little bits matter; we can't really feel the healing power of the Atonement nor can we move beyond our sins unless we are willing to gather them off the grass of our lives, dump them in a big pile, and hand ALL of them over to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Atonement is infinite and eternal, meaning that it covers ALL sins ALWAYS. It only works, however, if we're willing to ALWAYS give ALL our sins over to Christ, as He already died for them.
Why keep the pains of something that was already removed from our shoulders? Is there a point?
We have to give ALL of our sins in order to ALWAYS feel the effects of the Atonement.
For Christ Atoned for ALL of us and He will ALWAYS do so. Let us never forget that.

Don't Ordain Women - June 13, 2014
With
all the craziness surrounding the Ordain Women organization recently, I
will confess that I am growing very tired of reading about them and
their sudden 'trembling' to the consequences that they were warned
about. For those who haven't read it, the founder of Ordain Women is now
facing Church discipline for her continued persistence that women be
given the priesthood even after being told to stop
and her group is going to hold a 'vigil' for her on the day this
happens.
This is a prime example of how little choices can ultimately lead to grave consequences, hence which is why we must use our right and responsibility to choose very carefully. Why are they continuing to do what they are doing knowing what they stand to lose because they didn't listen when the Lord said no? Do they not understand the divine value that women have to God and to that which they are needed to do within His divine Church? Yes, we are all human first and the imperfections of mortality's shell often get in the way of who we should be to ourselves, to other people, and to God.
Hence, why the Atonement exists; to provide divine help and healing if WE WANT HELP. I don't normally rant like this on Facebook, but we all need to see our divine value and role in God's amazing kingdom and understand that just because everyone has a different role in God's kingdom, it doesn't make anyone more or less important than anyone else in His eyes. I don't desire to express hate towards the group, but I sadly do not think that the group truly understands the value we have to God and to the roles we are NEEDED to take care of in order to help the Lord bring His work forward.
If they do understand their divine roles and are trying to question God's love and trust in what He has given them, that is really sad and I can't help but be sad for those who don't cherish what God gives them. God cares about every single one of His children and blesses us all with gifts and abilities that we may help one another and then gives us opportunities to do so through various works we do all over the world. Additionally, God does not stop people from using their agency the way they want to, but he does not stop consequences from coming forth either.
Mark 12:30&31, which is in the New Testament Section of the Bible, also speaks against racism in a subtle, yet obvious fashion:
"30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
The first one is obvious in that we should love and trust God and the second verse states that as children of God, we all need to recognize the value in ourselves and what the Lord asks us to do. We all have importance to God and different responsibilities, but we are all equal in His loving eyes.

Love Yourself
I made these albums are in honor of the 'Love Your Selfie' series that NBC is promoting and my inspiration is the online petition for the plus-sized Disney princess. Everyone is beautiful no matter their looks, size, or abilities and the world needs to come to understand and embrace diversity and uniqueness.

With Fame Comes Responsibility
When you become a celebrity or a well-known individual, you have a responsibility to serve the public as a good example and also as a teacher of responsible behavior.
I have read stories of celebrities and well-known people acting irresponsibly and making poor choices when they know everyone is watching them; there is nothing wrong with having fame, but fame is also an opportunity to inspire people in the art of acting responsibly and choosing to do good with the opportunity presented, lest it slip through your fingers like sand.
I say this because I have read lots of news stories recently about celebrities and them purposely behaving badly for attention. The public eye should make a BIGGER and BETTER difference in how a person behaves.
