To be in a convent or not to be in a convent

I think that it is very true in the fact that we really are “Temples of the Holy Ghost.” I can definitely feel the story because of how so many people act around here (and I include myself in this).  It seems as though a lot of people are always picking fun at people of other religions, of even worse, different denominations.  I sure know that I am guilty.  And not to seem judgmental (cause that is definitely not my motive), but I think that everyone at some point in time will pick fun at people of other religions of denominations. 

The cold hard truth is that all people, even those that reject God, are temples of the Holy Ghost.  I just think that a lot of people do not realize that.  The world is our mission’s field and we need to let our light shine. 

The bit about the convent had me.  I realize that people do live that way; in fact, my grandmother went to a boarding school when she was in school due to the fact that her parents were pioneering missionaries to Bolivia.  Do I necessarily agree with the teaching style that is associated with boarding schools and convents? No, but I do think that if a student is in need an intervention due to attitude issues, that would be a viable option. 

The scene in the story with the girl getting angry with the boy and running off to her room struck a note with me.  I was the stubborn child when I was young.  And if I was told to do something, such as doing my homework because I was homeschooled, I would not do it and just sit there.  I see it as the same as the little girl going off to her room.  She wanted to go to the fair but she would not go, just to prove a point. 

Not going to lie, I am not sure exactly what to get out of it. I don’t know if I need to take it for the literal value, or there is some huge, deep, complex meaning.  I guess that either your comment or tomorrow’s class will tell a lot of whether I got it or didn’t get it. But I will say that I did like it.
