as a man thinketh, so is he...

if that scripture is the literal truth, then i am a violent murderer. or murderess. i guess it doesnt matter. i seriously want to kill someone. someone specific. i was able to plan the details down to the disposal of his body. why do we do what we do to each other? i know that there are plenty of women who are completely selfish and cruel and do evil things, but on this post, i will be talking about selfish and cruel men. i visit teach a woman whose husband has huge addiction issues. like most addicts, he blames everyone but himself. a half a dozen kids didnt slow him down. she is at the end of her rope. she talks about suicide because she just cant handle it anymore. they have been married for 15 years and she has sought the counsel of 5 different bishops. our bishop is number 6. he calls this guy in and now he is mad at HER. typical addict behavior, but still.
i just keep wondering if things are really getting worse or if it just seems that way because i have access to more information about people in the ward. if i wasnt in the rs presidency, i would probably never hear about most of this stuff. its really disheartening and makes me wonder if getting married is really worth it. is that a logical thought process or simply the adversary effectively distracting me from a worthy goal?

teaching in relief society

how is this for irony? the single chick gets to teach a lesson about sexual fulfillment in relief society yesterday. ha! it actually went well. got lots of compliments. even the bishops wife made positive comments to the relief society president. it was direct, no holds barred. i actually said the word "sex". can you believe that? everyone was very receptive. the comments kept coming and the whole lesson flowed. i am disappointed that i didnt get to half of what i prepared, but i really feel that the spirit led the discussion where it needed to go. we have one loose cannon sister that we PRAYED would not give TMI, but she was great. she even gave this great comment with a super smart analogy. whew. i had anxiety over that lesson for 2 weeks. prayed dilligently. prayers are answered.
