Fly Above the Trees

Today President Johnson gave the lesson in Sunday School.  The subject was Pornography - he told us we should "Fly Above the Trees."  Meaning stay above the danger.  I am not really too worried right now in my life about Pornography personally.  I don't have any desire to involve myself in anything that would take away from the spirit.  As we talked about it however I realized that I need to be concerned about my grandchildren and the choices they make.  They are surrounded by so much evil.  I realize that I need to do all that I can to encourage these children to stay away from the evils of this day.  Pres. Johnson reminded us of the cycle that moves from abhor, tolerate, and on to embrace (there are two I am forgetting) but the point is taken - we cannot let these children be exposed to anything that will keep them from the blessings of the gospel and the spirit.

I hope their parents and we grandparents can be aware of what is going on in their lives.  Make sure that they don't participate in anything that will drag them down including TV, computer, I-pads, Iphones, videos, written materials, and whatever else that might hurt them.  I need to encourage them to "fly above the trees and stay safe and out of range of anything that might pull them down or get in their way.)

Three things:
1.  Jim taught part of the lesson today on Desire to do right... he did an excellent Job - I love to hear him teach (he always teaches me something and I always laugh while he is doing it).
2.  Went through the house again and liked it even more (the owners are going to leave the washer and dryer and the refrigerator!  Yeah...
3.  I am so amazed at all of these blessings... I hope I don't forget the "coincidence" of all these blessings this last while.  The Lord is blessing us beyond what I can imagine.
