A scary threat!!

In our world to day Satan is working so hard to destroy the family in any way he can.  One of Satan's most effective tools is pornography.  We have been counseled by prophets for over a decade to avoid the stain and addictive grasp of pornography.  This video wraps it up.

Families can be together forever. God intends family relationships to last much longer than just this life.  Let us do our part to be worthy of such a blessing.

Friends and Family

When I was in my early high school years I had a pretty tight group of friends.  The friends that I had since I was knee high to a grass-hopper all went their separate ways, though we are all still fiends.  As time moved on our interests changed and I found new friends that were on the same page as me.  Eventually I started running with a pretty rough crowd and my parents were pretty concerned.  It is next to impossible to stand when all your friend's standards antagonize your own.  In the end I had to separate myself from those I called my friends.  In the time when I may have been the most lonely, I found my best friends...my family. 

Family is central to the plan of our Eternal God.  In our families we gain a sense of identity and characteristics.  I know not every family situation is ideal, but no matter our personal family situation, there is an eternal family to be had by all within the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm eternally grateful for the plan of happiness which assures us, as we are faithful, that we will be with those that we love for eternity.  This is done by the priesthood of God in His temples.  There is no greater joy than this!  It is my prayer that each of us will seek to secure our eternally family by showing the Savior that we love Him by keeping His commandments.

Team 'Family'

My thoughts have been on the greatness of the plan of our God.  The plan of redemption.  There is a comment I often make concerning heaven, "No matter how great of a place you can imagine heaven, It wont be heaven if those I love, or my family, cannot be there with me.  Happiness is being with those we love.  It is the hope and the knowledge that we can be with them not just for this life, but if we so choose, God has intended family relationships to last for eternity.  The words of a Book of Mormon prophet Nephi express it well, "O how great the plan of our Go... who prepareth a way for our escape"(2 Nephi 9).  What a wonderful time to be on the earth when God has revealed the fullness of his plan of salvation.  I know it to be true.  God loves us!!  We each need to seek to understand the plan of salvation so we may understand the rest of the gospel(2 Nephi 12:32).
