Now I've got that song stuck in my head and I can't get it out!!! lol<BR/><BR/>I think that's the one that lists all of the Young Women values that we were supposed to set goals in: faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, etc.<BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, they corresponded to the different colored gemstones on that bracelet that you sent me a picture of that I posted <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2006/02/personal-progress-89.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.C.

There are so many songs from my church days that come back to me at random moments, and some of them still have some meaning to me.<BR/><BR/>On of the hard aspects of realizing that the church isn't true is this idea that you have to reject and leave behind so many childhood memories. But it's not as if you can trade in your childhood at this point and get a new one!!! Nor really that you would necessarily even want to...<BR/><BR/>I feel like it's a little like being raised in a dysfunctional family. For your own sanity it's important to recognize those aspects of Mormonism that are bad and wrong. But at the same time allow yourself to hold onto some fond memories and fond associations as well if you want to.<BR/><BR/>I wrote a little about this in a couple of my early blog entries: <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2005/11/mishies-and-me-cultural-mormon.html" REL="nofollow">The Mishies and Me</A> and <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2005/11/cultural-mormon-who-are-these.html" REL="nofollow">Cultural Mormon</A>.C.
