I'm outta here!

IRELAND

MORE IRELAND...
Lately, I feel so disturbed by the crazy things that go on in our world. I try not to keep up on current events because it just makes me sad. I know that sounds ignorant, but I don't care. I hate watching the news because too much of it is depressing. Especially when it has to do with children. Whenever I hear about something awful happening to a child, I feel sick and I think about it for days. It is very traumatizing for me. So I've decided, since they aren't selling real estate on Mars (yet), I'm probably gonna just take my family and head somewhere isolated in Europe or Australia. I was thinking maybe Ireland... in the country. What do you think? Nate says there are terrorists in Ireland. I might need to do some research. Does anyone else feel like they want to protect their child(ren) from the evils of the world? I know I'm talkin' crazy, but that was just on my mind.

Oh heck ya I totally agree. I told Lee I wanna go live in one of those tiny villages in Italy or Greece...the cute ones by the water. Or there is always Japan, my sister just went there and said that there is so little violence that police officers don't even carry guns. I'm just scared out of my mind for my kids...your not alone.

She's not even born yet, and I already feel like there is so much I need to shelter her from. The world is so evil!
However, it's also very good. There are good people trying to do good things. No matter where we go, we'll face both sides. There really is no hiding from the adversary.
Teach your kids correct principles, and then let them make their own choices. Then trust that Heavenly Father will light their path.
