Upsetting

This morning I got some news about friends of mine that was rather upsetting. I scratch my head and struggle to understand the choices that people make. It is not my place to judge and so I want to be careful here.  I have experienced things that cause heartache in the family.  When I learned of decisions made by a friend that lead to heartache in his family I hurt for them, all of them.  I don't know what else to say.  I am sad today.  I want to improve myself, fortify myself and my family and live worthy of the companionship of the Spirit so that when temptations arise I can be better equipped to overcome them.   I know that the adversary is crafty and that he can lead us down to hell with a flaxen cord.  I want to constantly be on guard, I have to be.  If I think I can justify a little sin where does that justification stop?   Where do I draw the line?   I think when you find yourself justifying a little sin whatever lines you have begin to blur and suddenly you find yourself on a slippery slope.  We, I cannot afford that.  I have children that need me to be my best self.  I need to do better each day.  I need to be worthy of the Lord's help.
