Yesterday was one of  those days when I was reminded why I went to law school.

This last October when my church had it's General Conference Elder Dallin H. Oaks gave this talk on protecting children. I just sat there the entire time thinking, "yes. So much yes!"

I have this little blog, for anyone to see. I don't know who will come across this spot and read it. I don't know if it'll be someone who lives in Connecticut, or some one who is just struggling to come to grips with the idea that we live in a world where someone would walk into an elementary school and start shooting innocent children.

Yesterday I hugged my nieces and nephew a little tighter and told them I love them a little more.

I can do so very little for people on the other side of the country whose hearts are broken. Christmas is coming, this should be a time of happiness and love.

Just in case you've happened upon here today, in whatever mood you may be in, I want you to know that whether you were directly affected yesterday or not, you are not alone. So many people around the world are remembering you in their prayers.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This means I am a Mormon. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe that families can be together forever, and I believe that death is not the end. I believe that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is just and merciful. I believe He does not infringe upon our agency, but all of our actions have consequences, whether we suffer them in this life or in the life to come the Lord will always do what is just and fair for His children. I also believe that little children are perfect, and cannot sin. The following scriptures are from the Book of Mormon, and they have brought me a lot of comfort over the last day. I hope they will do the same for you. These are from the book Moroni, chapter 8. The verses are the numbers next to them.

8 Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them;

12 But little children are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of the world; if not so, God is a partial God, and also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons;
17 And I am filled with charity, which is everlasting love; wherefore, all children are alike unto me; wherefore, I love little children with a perfect love; and they are all alike and partakersof salvation.
18 For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity.


I feel a lot of love for people I've never met. It comes from that deep instinct inside of me that reminds me that we are all brothers and sisters. I'll end this by saying whoever you are I love you very much. We come from the same family and we are children of the same God and I love you. I hope you feel that, and I hope that makes you feel a little bit better.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
