Time out for Women

Well this weekend I went to a "Time out for Women" conference. It was amazing! I loved it! It really helped me feel calm and relaxed. I could feel the spirit the whole entire time. Some highlightes I got to meet John Bytheway, who is one of my favorite LDS speakers. If you have never heard of him look him up and find out more.
Some highlights of the 2 day event: Always close the bathroom door! No I didnt have any problem with this, but one of the speakers, who happens to be blind, told the funniest more embarrasing story about going into a stall, pulling her pants down and while she was feeling for the tolet- felt a head of hair instead.... Something else from this wonderful women, blind people really can't drive- not even with the window down using their walking stick... lol And no, blind people can't just feel the tv and feel the vibrations to know what is going on in the show. One more thing, if you ever meet a blind person, don't ask them if they have taught their children sign language so that they can communicate with them- yes this really happened to her.
Another wonderful women told about a mother who asked I think it was, Elder Packer, about forcing her children to go to church. He replied basically, well I kind of go along my strawberry patch about this sort of thing. If I would ever allow it to just grow however it wants, it will chose weeds every time. So in other words, it is perfectly fine to make your children go to church as long as they are living under your roof. It can be part of what your family does together, end of discussion. Growing up in the church I have known a lot of different families, some of which made their children go every sunday, some of which did not. The families that gave their children the option and freedom to decide, their children did just that and decided they would rather sleep. Along with this a lot to most of their children as they grew up and are all adults now, do not attend church anymore. The families that made their children go, most of them still go and attend. There are always exceptions of course- but are you willing to take that chance on your children?
There is more and as the days and weeks go by I will write more, and I will write who actually said what I am giving them credit for once I find the program and know their names. :)
