I just had to share the sweet, sweet moment I had with my oldest daughter, Honor. She had an experience at school today that just brings a tear to my eye in sorrow when I think on it. She has a great group of girls that she plays with, but today at lunch, her friend made a wrong choice, and Honor was there to stand up for what she believed in. She purchased a coke at the vending machines today. Not a caffeine free one. I think she might have done it out of peer pressure- I'm just not sure- but the point is, Honor stood up for her beliefs. She truly believes "in all times, & in all places", and she took her friend aside and kindly let her know that she did know better, and that Honor just wasn't sure if they could stay friends right now.
I'm HONORED to be her mother.

Our We Ladies in the Gospel or Not?
As I was sitting in sunday school, I had an aha moment as a sister slipped out with a fussy baby. She headed out to nurse her sweet little one in the mother's lounge, and the thought came to me: why does this precious daughter need to leave? Is nursing wrong? Of course not! Are we all not women in the gospel? Aren't we meant to "work together"? If this sweet sister nursed next to me, I would not be ashamed. It's a beautiful thing! Something we should NOT shrink from! Who could possibly be offended? I truly believe it needs to be brought up; I really, really do.
