Obedience & Rescuing Wayward Children talks in church

Sacrament Meeting was really good today, all the talks were on Obedience & very good. The last talk given by a brother in the ward was the best one, it really touched my heart & made me cry. I had to leave to get my tears under control but one quote given by a woman that I really liked was...
"We're not obedient because we're blind, we're obedient because we can see."

My new friend bought me sandwiches from Kneaders, milk, OJ & chips for me & my grandson today. That really meant alot to me to be able to give my grandson something when he came over to play with grandma today :)

My gbaby & daughter came over & we played at the park, he is the funniest kid! I love my kids so much!

I went to an LDS Fireside tonight at the Stake Center, the speaker was Larry Barkdull- Author of best selling books "Rescuing Wayward Children" and "Pillars of Zion." The topic was The Gospel Within The Gospel," really good Fireside! He talked about his son drinking, driving & getting a DUI, the dad had to bail him out of jail. He went one day to his sons house to help him pack his things and move back home. When he walked into his sons apartment that he shared w/several other guys, there was liquor, drugs & paraphernalia every where & the supposedly friends were all in the back yard drinking. The so called friends didn't lift a finger to help move his son. It got me thinking, not one of my so called street friends who said they had my back never did. No one visited me or bailed me out of jail, they weren't there to fight for me when I got hurt. Anyways, the wrong crowd will always be the wrong crowd!
Brother Barkdull talked about 3 parables in Luke in the Bible, one was "the coin," another was the "Prodigals son" & I forgot the other one. Makes me wanna go through the whole chapter of Luke and read it, loved the stories! I want to read his books too :)

Later, my lil brother picked me up & took me to see World War Z, funny zombie movie! it was meant to be scary I think.

Well, its 1:30am & I need to sleep, good night!
