Thoughtful Tuesdays*

Food For Thought*
I found this morning and found it rather interesting and thought I’d share! It’s written by Doug Robinson and was published in the Deseret Morning News on Janurary 8th. Better Duck–If You’re A MormonI missed the memo that said it’s A-OK to make disparaging and often erroneous statements about Mormons. Apparently, they are fair game. Sure, these are hypersensitive times, when name-calling or perceived bias against any group will get you the Don Imus treatment, but you get a free shot with Mormons. You can say what you want about them with impunity. If you denigrate a racial group, you’re racist. If you denigrate women, you’re sexist. If you denigrate…

The Good Wife’s Guide*
As I was cleaning out my desk today I came across an article I received in a first year women’s studies class that I thought I’d share. This is allegedly from Housekeeping Monthly, 13 May, 1955, though it’s integrity has been disputed. In any case, it makes for an interesting read. Thoughts? Shop Girl*The Good Wife’s Guide Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return.

Footprints*
I have always loved this poem… and I hope you do too! One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times…

I Believe*
I forgot to do this yesterday… so here you are!!! I BELIEVE I believe – that sometimes when I’m angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel. I believe – that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have. I believe – that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. I believe – that it isn’t enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have…

My Own Set of Wings*
For my “Thoughtful Tuesday” entry this week, I’m going to use a poem I wrote for AKV when I was 14. I wrote it just after we’d left elementary school and had gone to different high schools and were beginning to grow apart. So, this is for her. My Own Set of Wings* We used to share a pair of wings,Attached by a love for similar things.We used to laugh and talk all day,Even when there was nothing to say. We’d eat popcorn and watch movies all night,The next morning we’d be an awful sight!I’ve cried on your shoulder, you’ve cried on mine too–That’s probably what I miss most about…
