Have a Nice Trauma!


"When God set the workings of this world in motion, He had a very definite plan. A major key in that plan is the fact that there must... needs be opposition in all things. The good news about that is knowing that for every bit of fear and grief and pain and sorrow, there is equal peace and joy and perfect hope. And do you know how that's possible? The answer ties directly into part one: God's love. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son."


From: Anita Stansfield's book The Guardian page 301

Not so sure if this is true, because it's not from a credible source like a prophet, scholar, or someone like that, but would be nice if it was. Of course, then we'd say things like "Bring on the pain!" or "Have a nice trauma!" I was talking about his in front of a sales lady at Deseret Book in Logan a few years ago, with my friend Heather. We were talking about life and how it was such a trauma and how we should just say "Have a nice trauma!", instead of have a nice life! As we left the sales lady said the trauma quote to us.

Sometimes trauma can make us laugh! Like river rafting in the rain on the Yakima River with some whinny teenagers! Ahh.......the memories! (of a week and a half a go)
