Lead Kindly Light

It's been a busy few days for the Relief Society Presidency and our sisters. Our collection drive for Twilight books has gone well. We've collected 28 books so far. We might have got a few more but a few of our sisters burned their copies when they heard the news that Deseret Books was banning them. I have to admire their willingness to avoid even the appearance of evil, but I'm not sure that was necessary. I will continue to collect for the next few days and then make the trip to The Wonder Hostess Thrift Store to donate these evil writings. I am so grateful to the sisters of our dear Provo Temple View Ward and their willingness to show such a great example to sisters everywhere concerning this turn of events. I am just hoping that our dear sister Stephenie Meyers has repented and will no longer write books that can lead to unpure thoughts in the sisters and youth throughout the church.

However, speaking of the appearance of evil, I was very disturbed to hear recently that one of the shining lights of Mormonism has fallen into inactivity, if not down right apostacy. I'm speaking, sadly, of Eliza Dushku. (I know, many of you have not heard of her before, but please don't get caught up in that old joke "Who? Dushku. Gesundheit!". It's undignified.) I was made aware that one of our Hollywood Mormon fellowshipping contingent, Sister Dushku, had appeared on Last Call with Carson Daly. I looked it up and watched it on Youtube, since the show is on much too late at night for me to watch it. Brother Smith and I usually go to bed half an hour after the children, at 9:00. But what I saw and heard on Last Call shocked and saddened me. It seems that Sister Dushku is not only inactive, but she has been seduced into appearing NUDE in Allure magazine. Nude, as in no clothes at all, in a VERY immodest pose. It is hard to believe that this sweet spirit is living a chaste life. Brother Smith saw a glimpse of the photo and he has been in the bedroom praying and showering for an hour now.

And as if it weren't shameful enough that Sister Dushku has appeared with all of her 'holy temple' bared for all the world to see, but she exposed a tattoo in the picture. I'm sure you all know what President Hinckley said about tattoos. But this story just keeps getting worse and worse. The words of the tattoo read "Lead Kindly Light". Forgive me. I'm overcome with sadness.

I was also made aware just tonight that there are other sisters that have been caught up in the lure of Hollywood. As I watched "Dancing With the Stars" my dearest daughter Sariah mentioned that Julianne Hough and Lacey Schwimmer were also Mormons that have gone astray. I was shocked and dismayed at the lack of clothing they were wearing while gyrating on the television screen for all the world to see. Tsk Tsk I say to them, you are NOT setting a good example of behavior and modesty for our vulnerable young women in the church. This also gets worse as I then discovered in my google search of sister Julianne Hough that she desicrated our own American flag last year when she posed wrapped in nothing but said flag. This has indeed been a very sad week for the church and the sisters in faith everywhere.

I realize that I may have overreacted to the Twilight scare, now that I have seen this shocking turn of events in Hollywood. If any of you are aware of any books that Sister Eliza Dushku, Sister Lacey Schwimmer, or Sister Julianne Hough have written, please let me know.

And Sisters, if your husbands are out of the room now, go ahead and scroll down to see these shocking pictures.
