Comments on: Broken Things to Mend http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/06/22/broken-things-to-mend/ Uplifting, edifying, and enriching reading by and for Latter-day Saint Women Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:50:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Tanya http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/06/22/broken-things-to-mend/#comment-1223 Mon, 26 Jun 2006 23:11:08 +0000 http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/06/22/broken-things-to-mend/#comment-1223 I can say the Hollands are very real to me since I graduated from the same high school class as their oldest son. Wonderful people, and I enjoy everything he says. It was not a surprise to me when he was called as a general authority. I can say that he a compassionate man on many issues. Thank you Michelle for your touching post. I can say the Hollands are very real to me since I graduated from the same high school class as their oldest son.

I think you would love it. It's such a sisters' book (when I read it for the first time, I thought, "This should be required reading in RS!") -- it's so honest and loving and warm and all that make the Hollands who they are. annegb,

I've had my conference Ensign open to the same talk meaning to read it for at least a couple of weeks now. I do feel so broken in so many ways. I feel like I can never diagnose the whole problem let alone fix myself. I'll make a point of reading the whole thing today. Thanks.

Patricia Holland wrote an article for the Ensign years ago about Peace, I can't remember the exact title, but bits and pieces of it will come to me over and over. I think she was a rather reluctant participant in the public part of her husband's service, afraid, like we would be. But she's grown and shared her human-ness with us and we're all better for it. It makes me wonder how God would like us all to grow. I’ve had the same experience with them time and again.
