Dear Friends,

I was going to post more pictures from my Internet "window shopping" forays today, but instead I'm going to put my light-hearted discussions of earrings and such aside for a more serious post.

I read a post entitled, It Needs To Be Said, over at one of my favorite blogs, I Wonder Woman. It involves recent negative publicity that our faith (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) has received in the press. Myrnie expresses herself so well on this issue that I am referring you to her. All I can say is that I fervently agree with her.

As she says, "Most of what's smeared around out there is just gossip, half-truths, misunderstandings, or just lies. And it hurts to see something that I believe in and love so strongly bandied around like playground gossip."

Usually I keep my mouth shut when I hear something in the press that rankles, but today I just couldn't remain silent.

Enough said.
God bless,
Elizabeth
