Thank you for printing the article, "Seeing One Another Through" by Susan Law Corpany. It was very insightful and just what I needed to complete a spiritual feast on the Sabbath. I look forward to many more articles by her. If you have a chance to forward this to her, please let her know that her article really touched me. Thank you.

Synchronicity is never the same for the same person. It may seem like a miraculous event for one person whose peers don't share the same belief. Dr. Jung's example to some would just mean a beetle flew through the window. I am not a person that seems prone to such things as UFOs, or other such things, but synchronicity found me. I didn't go looking for it. Is it God? Well, I believe so and that's all I can say.

Thanks for the article!
For what it’s worth, I just read Psalms 45 today, and found it to be very closely related to this topic.

I just read your article about "throwing stones". I was so touched by what you said. I am 81 years old and when I was raising my daughters, I'm afraid I was too much like the parents of the teen-age girl in the story. I would get so irritated with our girls I would yell and punish them because I expected them to be "adults" when they were just children. I guess this was partially because I was an only child and my father was like that. Expecting me to be perfect and live up to his idea of perfection.
With my grandchildren and great-grandchildren I still find myself being impatient. I wish so much I had had someone to make me realize how much harm I was doing and how to correct it. However, I should add that my dear daughters have been very understanding and been wonderful to me in spite of my shortcomings. I am blessed.

This article was very helpful to me with what my family is experiencing in regards to one teenage son. Thank you so much for this help and insight. I regret that we have no LDS counselors of Brother Staheli's stature here in South Florida, but I'm thankful Meridian is so good about sharing valuable information!

I am the mother of 5 "throwaway" kids. Several of them have diagnosed developmental disabilities. One or two of the just have "attitude" secondary to probable pre-adoption experiences. Unfortunately, many of the church leaders in our local area see these kids as not only difficult but not worth the time it takes to involve them in activities.
I feel strongly that not only seminary teachers would benefit from this article. I intend to share this article with several of the people who have callings of responsibility with regards to my children.
Thank you so much for writing this piece. It actually reinforces my belief that we just can't give up on these kids. I have a strong feeling that my kids are with us for a reason and that the Lord made way for them to come into our family.
