Blessed are the Pure in Heart

My thoughs on Elder Clayton's talk "Blessed Are the Pure in Heart"

You know someone had to speak on this topic during the Priesthood session. It is so important that our children stay away from the evils of immorality and all that comes with it.

This is one of my biggest fears. I’m so afraid my sons will go down this path and get too far before I find it. I have a friend whose son went down this path and has ruined his life. Yes, he has repented, but there are lots of roads that have been blocked. He can’t serve a mission, work with youth, and I wonder how many young women will walk away from this young man. He truly has made a bed that is difficult to lie in. Yes, I believe in repentance and love this young man, but we live in a world where not everyone does and sometimes we live by the laws of the land that require registration. I wish this young man hope for a better tomorrow.

I have openly talked about this situation with my sons and told them it was just a little peek that started this young man down a path that has changed his life FOREVER!

BUT THERE IS HOPE! There is repentance. There is always hope. No matter the sin there is repentance. My only hope is that my family doesn’t have to walk the road to repentance because of pornography.
