Fear...

...is never good.
It prohibits.
It is the opposite of faith, you know.
But sometimes it's still really scary.
The unknown is scary.
Like when you first ride a roller coaster and your dad makes you go but you REALLY don't want to because it's so high off the ground and you've never been so high off the ground and what if you are hurt or what if it doesn't feel good or if you never come down or if you have to sit all alone or if your stomach jumps up and down and you want to throw up or if you cry and everyone sees you crying?
But your dad sits by you and holds your hand the whole time.
Which makes it OK.
I'm thankful for my dad.
And the Preisthood.
And him holding my hand when I'm scared.
It makes everything OK.
