Lessons (12/17/19)

I had been feeling impressed to teach Porter about pornography, so I borrowed a book from a friend and we read it together and talked about pornography.  Over the next few days Porter would apply some of the things he learned to situations in life.  He'd talk about his thinking brain vs his feeling brain.  Then today we were driving down the road as a family and Porter said, “I think I saw pornography.  I used my thinking brain to look forward."  We had driven past a store on 2100 S that displays mannequins in lingerie.  He was absolutely correct that what he saw was pornographic.  And then he told us that he had also read about pornography in the Friend magazine and there was a kid that wrote a letter to a store that displayed something similar.  He said he wanted to write a letter to this store.  My heart swelled as I listened to him apply what he'd learned and want to do something about it.  I hope that he will always have the courage to use his thinking brain and the spirit to help him to "look forward" and do the right thing.
