Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Howard W. Hunter

My view on guns

This post is intended to express my view on the issue of guns and guns control. These are solely my opinions and you may or may not agree with them. That is what this nation was founded on and that is what makes this nation great!
Guns have been around for centuries, yes they have cause a lot of death and heart ache. That was not the fault of the gun itself, that fault lies in the hands of the user! Notice my children are learning to shoot. They are learning to respect guns, to treat them how they should be treated (which is as a tool, nothing more), and what a gun can do. By some miracle these guns did not jump up off the table and go bang, nor did they go off before the trigger was pressed. How on earth can that be?! The idea being spread is that it is the guns fault that people are dying, that they just jumped up and shot whomever was there. It takes a person, an actual physical pull of the trigger, to make that gun go off. Without that force these guns will never, ever, ever discharge. People need to educate themselves, stop blaming the tool, and start blaming the person.
Blaming a gun for killing someone is like blaming the hammer for putting the nail in the wall. The nail cannot enter the wall without a person hitting the hammer onto it. A gun cannot go off without a person pulling that trigger.
