Mostly it makes me grateful that I have parents who raised me in the Church, and that the gospel has always been a part of my life. I don't have to sneak away from my family to do what I know is right, because they are the ones who taught me. It also makes me realize how blessed I am that I can have the Lord's approval, and my parent's at the same time. No amount of criticism from friends or coworkers or acquaintances can change what's true. I really appreciate that I don't have the struggle that this person does, but I'm also very proud of them for doing what they have felt is right.

Blessed
My sister and I frequent a website called PostSecret. It's an amazing site that started as an art project, and has grown into a worldwide community. There are now books and forums and hotlines. People send in their secrets on postcards to the guy who started it, Frank Warren. He chooses a selection of secrets and updates the site every Sunday. There are ones about Mormons and the LDS church quite frequently, but this one in particular made me think.
