I'm Proud of Myself

For taking my stand against three boys who were bashing the Honor Code and basically saying that the Church's standards for modesty are bogus. "It's okay to wear bikinis" "Whenever I see girls in shorts I just can't handle it!! (sarcastically)". So I lightly tapped a gentleman on his leg and asked him if he was with those guys and why wasn't he saying anything about the Honor Code. Instead he said "I'm just relaxing" and started playing with the water in a nervous manner. He said he thought the midnight curfew rule was dumb. They all said the beard rule was insane. They said that a bunch of students came up with the Honor Code and maybe it was wrong and they made a mistake. All I said was, there are some times that we have to do things and we don't know why we have to do them but that is just the way it is. Doesn't the Lord command us to do things for some reasons and we don't know why we are doing them? And they said... yes, but the Honor Code it is stupid. Yes, they are members. Yes, they attend BYU. And yes, they heard my voice. Because I don't let people get by with speaking up against Church Doctrine or the Honor Code without them hearing my two cents. They could have punched me in the face and I think I still would have stood my ground I didn't care what they were saying about me and yes, I did call one of them "Son" which then he backed off.

Bless their souls. Bless them.
