What's your role?

It is interesting to see in my own family our roles. As we discuss in my Family Relations class about our roles in our family I find that our family shares a lot of the roles. I'm the youngest and generally they are easy going, sit idly by, in a sense. And yet, I feel as though I notice more things than majority of my siblings, when it comes to responsibility and helping people out. My brother once called me the "glue that holds our family together," the funny part is our family is so strong that by being the glue I keep the peace. I wonder how my sibilings feel about their roles and if they think they fit their roles? Do you think you fit your role? I'd love to hear some thoughts. I don't think I fit my role very well... but I do love them. This is a picture of my baptism day. The day I became and official member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.

What does family mean to you?

Family is such a central and important thing to this world. It is something that Heavenly Father created so that we can have an essential part of life. Without families we are nothing. So, what is family? To me family mean a unit that will always be there. Family is consists of loving parents and siblings. Like, The Family: A Proclamation to the World, the family should consist of a mother and a father. I don't think that same sex marriage and "parents" are something that intended. Nature is meant for husband and wife. Your thoughts?

The Greatest Joy in Life

I'm only 18. It seems strange to think about having children at this stage in my life. But, are we not commanded by Heavenly Father to multiply and replenish the earth. In today's society it is easy to put off marriage and children. Unfortunately. Doesn't the world see that without bringing more lives to this earth that eventually we won't be able to support ourselves? Not only are children essential to the survival of America and the world but children are central to Gods plan. We need the cuties running around. It is so frustrating to me to see members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints put off or limit child bearing. The Lord has created women for a great purpose to bring lives into this magnificent world. As wifes and parents we need to remember our sacred duty and bring the spirits waiting on the other side of the veil. They need to have the experience of being on the earth in this state to be tested. Are you that selfish that you won't give your child that opportunity? Listen to the Spirit let him lead you to your future spouse as well as your future children. They love you, now, remember them!
