Yesterday I wrote about all of the attention that the suspension of BYU's Brandon Davies was getting nationwide.  Then today I watched as the truth of it started to leak out.  The news also said that BYU was not the source of the intimate details..  I believe that everything that BYU has done has been up front and proper.  And most of the national media gave them respect for their honor code and the way that they have dealt with this situation.  BUT today when they talked about what really happened they showed just how peculiar WE are.  I shouldn't have been surprised, but when people talk about certain values that you hold very dear and they don't, it gives you pause.  We really live in a different world.  I have had certain experiences 'out in the world' so I know that the morality we cherish is definitely not cherished by others.  They can't understand  how fidelity and abstinence and chastity are even desirable, let alone to be defended and lived.  They just do not understand us.   It makes me feel very grateful because I know that it isn't just the values and principles, but it is the reality of truth.  It simply is true.  I have taught you that from your earthly beginnings and I stand by them.  I am still growing in those truths and it is the most wonderful part of my life.  I cannot separate it from wife, family and living a good life, because it doesn't come without those and they don't come without it.  That's the beauty of it all.  Not only does our Father in Heaven love us, but we can live to return to his presence.  The journey is certainly a difficult one, but it is certainly worth it, and none of us should ever settle for anything less then all that we can become.
