Make a Difference...

I am enjoying learning.
Today I went to a porn conference. . . It was on how to protect children and families from pornography, I was not viewing porn.
Anyways the most important thing I feel I got out of the conference was that this is a Battle we all need to fight with Humble Warrior Hearts, as spoken so well by Dan Gray. 1 Peter 2:11 warns us to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul... I am beginning to see the extent to which pornography is destroying families, as I am in this educational process. It is infiltrating homes, this is now an all out war that we must not give up on.
Many of you probably already know that Utah has been ranked number 1 for online porn subscriptions along with being ranked number 1 in looking up family values online. If we do not do something this will destroy more and more families.
I am grateful for the opportunity I will have to work with individuals and families facing pornography addiction, there is relief and there is help available now. What a blessing, yet what a responsibility we all have to help, to understand, and to protect our families.
I got a lot of information at this conference, if you know of anyone that needs help please help them realize this is nothing to be ashamed of. Help them see that getting help will set them FREE.
For parents or for any individual who cares about helping make a difference with this cause you can start by going to www.parentstv.org and see if there is a chapter in your area. This site helps to stop inappropriate images from being on TV. For parents wanting to educate their kids you can go to sexedlibrary.org and there are useful tools there. www.lightedcandle.org is another opportunity to help fight pornography.
Another network of help can be found at www.lifestarnetwork.org or www.lovingmarriage.com that has quite a few articles to help couples "love" marriage. Gosh there is just so much I could go on and on. If you want anymore info just email me and I'd be happy to help or direct you to the right places, no shame or money attached:)
