Sons of Helaman


I have a tendency like my Father, that when I find something I love to do I become passionate about it. I remember as a little boy I didn't just love soccer, I was passionate about it. I would walk down to stoker field in a blizzard, in the middle of January with my soccer ball and play for hours in the snow! I'm pretty sure I was dropped as a kid... or ate, bad fruit or something. Anyway! I have that same kind of passion for the field I am going into, I love the youth and believe they need extra help. I have had a long term goal to graduate in social work and eventually have my PHD. I want to work with adolescents, in a general definition of the term. Lately, I have had ideas about pornography addiction and how to help a young man overcome it. I have come across a training program for young men struggling with pornography addiction. It is called Sons of Helaman and it provides the necessary tools for a young man to overcome the ravages of satan and his minions. Through the brilliance of Maurice Harker I have already learned so much about this field. I don't look at it as a part time job. I have been and am becoming more and more passionate about this field. It is an area that is barely touched that needs the most attention. I am indebted to Danl for listening to me work through a lot of thoughts and new ideas so patiently. Maybe it will give me a bit more confidence getting ready to be a Dad! Good thing Danl's perfect!
