If you've been on social media at all in the past couple of weeks, and really in the past couple of years, you know that when issues hit the internet they tend to blow up like an explosive. So when some really heated and emotionally charged current events started to blow up on social media in the past week, I turned to the scriptures and to talks and sources of truth to try to find not only answers to my questions, but how to appropriately share whatever god might want me to share. The answers that I found were different than I expected, mostly centered around being a peacemaker, so that's what we're going to talk all about today. The need for a peacemaker in this world and how to become one.   Time Stamps: [00:46] - Corrine talks about society’s reaction to the series of legislation changes in the US.
