The sad times we live in, and a testimony

So I was checking my facebook this morning and I had a new posting from a group I belong to about protecting traditional marriage. There was a new ABC News article about poly marriages (two or three different married couples living under the same roof, and mixing things around a bit). Here's the link if you want to read it:

Here are my thoughts:

I read the article and it honestly made me sad. Sad for the times we live in, sad for the times my children will grow up in and live in, and sad for those who do not understand God's plan of happiness for them. He has given us the tools we need to be happy. We just need to use them. And a monogomous marriage to a person of the opposite sex is one of them.

I have never forgotten how much I love the gospel, but things like this just help me realize it even more. I am eternally grateful for the knowledge I have of Heavenly Father and His plan for us. I am grateful for the happiness and peace the gospel brings to me and my life. And I look forward to the day when I can marry a worthy preisthood holder in the temple and build a family for time and all eternity.

Wonderful married shenanigans and adventures. :)
