A post that I commented on in class.

(Insert Name Here) 9/22/2013 9:42 PM                 Each one of us is a child of God. We have great potential. I think the challenge for many of us is to remember this potential and to become what our father in heaven wants us to be. Sadly it can become too easy to get caught up in the views of the world and not rise to our potential. When I think about what I want to become, my biggest desire is to become a righteous mother and wife in Zion. I want to teach my children the principles of the gospel and to be there to support them and help them return back to their father in heaven. I want to be a faithful and virtuous wife to my eternal companion. I know that as I do these things I will be living a life that is pleasing to my father in heaven. I feel that this course will greatly help me accomplish this goal. As I learn more about the family through the family proclamation I will be able to move forward with confidence knowing I have the tools to rise to my potential and become the righteous mother and wife I know I can become and that my father in heaven wants me to be.

Peter Moore 9/24/2013 5:51 PM I won't give up  Ironically, I'm listening to "I won't give up" by Jason Mraz right now and it made me think about how our Heavenly Father feels about us. He won't ever give up on us and is always there as long as we are willing to play by His rules. It is through playing by His rules that we are truly happy anyway. I think about parents too. I was blessed with wonderful parents who I love and love me. It makes me want to be that type of father to my future children. It is thought provoking to think about how Heavenly Father felt before He created us. Do you think He was even a tiny bit nervous? I know that I'm extremely nervous to be a father. I want my future child to be the best and to always choose the right, but will he? Probably not. Heavenly Father was probably thinking the same thing. I agree with you 100% about our potential. We have our God, the Creator of the Universe and all thing that we enjoy, as the father of our spirits. We have the ability to bring children into this world and help them achieve their potential. I'm not a father yet, but when I am I know that I won't give up on my children. Ever. Just as our Heavenly Father never gives up on us.
