It's so HARD....

 for me to go to church and be filled with the spirit and come home and see something that my kids or grandkids have posted on social media.

It's debilitating.  

Today's lesson was just incredible.  And, designed for ME......especially.  I HAVE to have more faith in Jesus Christ and that ALL WILL BE WELL.  I have to feel the JOY of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have to learn to love my family members that do not LIVE THE WAY I WANT THEM TO!

The River We Remember

 I'm hoping that I can forget this book.  And, soon.  

It started off rather intriguing, but became very sorrowful and tragic and ended even more so.  I did not enjoy it.  Too many characters, too mired in sorrow.

It's the story of a murder in a small town in the 1950's.  There is a lot of hatred and prejudice in the town, but the general consensus was that the murdered man deserved what he got.  I did not like that the male protagonist was having a clandestine affair with his brother's wife; I hated that.  The main female protagonist had been a victim of circumstances and had been a prostitute.  But, she had a kind heart and had totally reformed.  The murderer (the man's brow-beaten wife) was never brought to justice because the sherif had companion on her life, and lots of other sad things happened.  

I will not be recommending this book to anyone I know and hope no one finds out I read it.  HAHAH.
