Vegas, baby!
My husband and I met up with his parents in Las Vegas over last weekend. While we were there I noted several things. First, media's ability to bombard and overwhelm--there were so many forms of entertainment and media, all displayed in huge flashing lights. Also, we were able to take part in a form of media I'm not as frequently exposed to--stage performances. We went to the Beatles LOVE performance of Cirque du Solei. I was truly impressed by the talent (and strength) of those performers and the message they portrayed. And it was all live! The other thing that struck me was just the huge impact that one particular band--the Beatles--can have on so many people and across generations. I wonder if anyone will ever top them? They are amazing!

I have been to vegas a few times, and I don't really enjoy it for that very reason (among others lol). Mostly though, I feel that my spirit is in constant battle for my attention there because there is so much chaos screaming "look at me!" One of the most stark contrasts I have ever felt between the world and holy places was when I went to the New York temple because, like Vegas, NY bombards you with sounds and sites that overwhelm the senses. But, as I entered the temple an immediate change occurred as the atmosphere became calm, peaceful and my mind was clear for the spirit to teach me. It is a constant battle in today's world to keep those channels clear and tuned in for the spirit to use.
