The purpose of this blog was to share the LDS church's philosophy on the family as well as to record some of my thoughts and feelings as I have learned and studied more about what we believe as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I feel I have a better understanding and conviction of the truthfulness of the doctrine. I can defend my beliefs more articulately when I understand them better. I am hoping that my children will benefit from these entries and from my personal testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The family is ordained of God. I want my children to know that. I want them to realize the importance of our family and the eternal nature of the family unit when they make decisions in this life. I want them to strive to protect our family and their future families against the evils of this world. Whether it is apathy, criticism, or disobedience to commandments of God, all are destructive to the family and I want them to understand the detrimental effects these things have upon future generations and the very unit we need to protect. Most of all, I want them to know that I believe in the family unit and have a testimony of the importance of the family in the eternities. God will not be mocked and when the family is attacked, it is an attack on His plan. Heaven is organized in family units. We not only need our families to make it through this life, but it is the very organization of Heaven.
