Mormon Bubble

recently i had someone tell me i lived in a mormon bubble

i've thought about that

i suppose it could be true ~ i intentionally do not allow degrading and worldly input into our bubble
in fact~ i am fierce when it comes to 'our bubble' ~ i reside in a posture of protectiveness in my home

the rest of my children's lives ~ after they leave home will be in a world where so many people

serve only themselves, their lusts, their addictions, their ideas of 'percieved freedom'

yet

when you engage in life without 'a bubble' you avail yourself to many tendencies that could in fact

TRAP

YOU

lets use smoking as the example.  if you allow tobacco into your 'bubble' you risk the possibility of becoming dependant on the nicotine contained in a cigarette.  if that happens, which it has been shown to, are you in fact "FREE"?

OR

are you trapped by a substance that inhibits your finances, physical health and lifestyle?

can you go visit a newborn baby in the hospital and 'light up' in the nursery?

really?

why not?

i thought you were 'FREE'!

the 'bubble' begs a couple of questions.

are you stuck?  or  are you protected?

SAFE

i believe prophets.

i believe men of God.

i do not know exactly every single reason there is to obey every single thing.

however, i am convinced i will one day.

until then

i am working diligently to construct, manage, maintain, offer, teach, love and design a

BUBBLE

for those i love and want to look after and keep whole.

choose

to

fight

wickedness and evil

(because if you don't think they exist then YOU ARE IN A BUBBLE ABOUT TO POP!)

 

even if you have to survive it in a 'bubble'.

 

i quote a beautiful friend who said to me once,

"do what works."

 

simple as that.
