Rod & Patrice Hunt Family: Behavior Modification. . .

January 26, 2012

Behavior Modification. . .

A new "SUPER PAIN PILL" is scheduled to hit the local pharmacy in the near future, and the news coverage is talking about how devastating this can be to already addiction-prone people.

I've thought about it a lot. What is the answer? Governmental control? Vigilante watchdog groups? Obsessive (dedicated?) parents on the look-out?

And then I thought of a quote from Elder Boyd K. Packer several years ago:

"Doctrine can change behavior quicker than talking about behavior will."

If we will LIVE THE GOSPEL PRINCIPLES (doctrine), we will be more able to resist the temptations of the world.

If we keep the Word of Wisdom, we won't have any problem with drug addiction, alcoholism, tobacco addiction, etc.

This may seem rather simplistic, but ultimately the gospel of Jesus Christ IS simple!! And it is much easier to live IT, than to live without it...in MY humble opinion!! ^_^

We are members of Christ's Restored Church

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we recognize and honor Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Redeemer of the World, and as our Savior. It is only through Him, and because of Him, that we have a sure knowledge and foundation in our purpose here in mortality, understand why very difficult things happen to good people, and we trust in our Savior and our Heavenly Father. We hope that anyone who has questions, or is seeking spiritual guidance, will seriously look into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at: MORMONS

*"And now my sons (and daughters), remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our redeemer, who is Jesus Christ, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation; a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

--Helaman 5:12

Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone...YOU are the one who gets burned!

People who fixate on destroying their enemies need TWO graves. . .one for their enemy and one for themselves!

Vengeance fixes your attention at life's ugliest moments.

Anger never builds anything, but it can destroy everything!

All the water in the world, however hard it tried,
Could never sink the smallest ship, unless it got inside.
And all the evil in the world, the blackest kind of sin,
Can never hurt you the least bit, unless you let it in.
