It became apparent today that trying to help less-active Church members is altogether too much like parenting. You watch over them and pray about them and encourage them and pray for them and do whatever seems might be helpful and pray and hope and then sometimes even all of that turns out not to be sufficient...at least temporarily. So you pick yourself up off the floor, put your hand back in the hand of the Savior, and commit to continue traveling the road in the hopes that somewhere along the way you can do some good for someone. And perhaps, just maybe, the dreams will all come true eventually. "It could happen!"
