This week I have been studying a book very dear to my heart, called "He Did Deliver Me From Bondage." There is an idea that I came across reading through it this time that hit me very profoundly that I hadn't fully recognized before. The author paraphrases a statement by Brigham Young: "we... can claim truth no matter where we might find it and should not be afraid to seek it anywhere." This is something that has always rang very true to me, that the LDS church holds a corner on priesthood keys and saving ordinances, but not on truth. This, perhaps, is why I have sought out some other avenues to glean truth for myself. They were the ones that opened doorways for my understanding and ability to apply true principles to my life.

Sprouting!
This is something that I love. I am a little bit of a "health nut" or "crunchy" as some people know. I do have my weaknesses that I cave for, but generally I like eating healthy. I like feeling good, and not having to worry if my body isn't going to appreciate what I giving it. And this is one of those things that makes me feel so good, and I know it does.

It has yet again caused me to ponder on how much every baby needs that touch, especially after such an intense and likely painful experience as birth.
