On June 5,2002 a 14 year old girl was kidnapped from the safety of her own home, snatched right from the bed she was sharing with a younger sister. Right here in Utah. I’m not taking about bride kidnapping in Shanghi or kurzackstan. This young woman lived in a nice home, a safe neighborhood, with an incredibly caring family. I was shocked and concerned for her safety and for the safety of my own daughters. Who would have thought that such a thing could happen? When she was found 9 months later, after a horrific experience, I celebrated. She had been brainwashed to the point that she didn’t try to escape, but when others recognized her and when her father came to get her she could finally cry and say who she was.
Today I want to talk about a different kind of kidnapping, the kidnapping of our childrens’ hearts and minds. Just like the crazy homeless man who kidnapped this young woman, there are those who want our children. They want to brainwash them and control them, but they’ll do it from the convenience of the nearest electronic media component, whether that be an ipod, a radio, a TV, or computer. They are involved in many industries, music, movies, politics, environmental causes, or alternative religious or lifestyles and many others. They are the embodied philosophies of men come to woo our children and ourselves away from truth, into a wilderness where we can be robbed and beaten and left for dead.
How can we keep our children from being kidnapped by these abductors? We must be watchful mothers, who are the most powerful beings in the universe, it they will only wake up to their power and ability.
