Last night I checked the news right before bed. Which means I found out the outcome of the sweet little girl who went missing this week. I had a hard time getting to sleep. Especially realizing it could have been my child. I mean, look at my last blog. My first reaction is that I understand why some countries allow public executions. I want the family to have immediate action for the terrible death of their daughter. Thankfully, other people have a more sense than me and our country has a justice system that tries to be fair.
Well, I happen to be reading a book by Elder Jeffery R. Holland called Trusting Jesus. In that lies the only true peace this family will ever receive in this life. There is justice, and it is a justice that goes far beyond the short years of this life. It will extend into eternity and it will be perfect. And, this sweet family can seek comfort of God. I am praying for them. I am thankful that the majority of people in this world are still good. Like the people who found my little ones and protected them until I came. I believe all is not lost. I know that this family will see their little girl again and I hope that they will receive that comfort as well. Trust Jesus.
Here is a link to one talk that comes out of the book I am reading. "Look to God and Live" by Elder Jeffery R. Holland.

I was so upset to hear about the outcome of the little girl. I automatically thought of my Avery playing outside and having some creep snatch her. There's a total weird-o that lives down the road. He goes outside to smoke and watches the kids (sometimes swinging a machete casually in his hand) it scares me to death. If she went missing, his house is the first one I would search!
I'm all for capitol punishment!! or is it capital? :(
I don't get the Utah news so I looked it up on line. It makes me so sick! If our courts would do their job instead of being so political and just give a slap on the wrist and then have us pay for thier "rehabilitation".
You are so right about the Savior!! He loves everyone even the person who did this. But God will not be mocked and murder is one of the things he did not suffer for so those who murder will need to suffer themselves for that act!!
This life is so messed up sometimes!! I don't know what I would do with out the gosple!!
