In our religions class this semester, we have a capstone project to create and maintain a family and marriage blog. Each Unit of the class focuses on a different paragraph of the "The Family: A Proclamation to the World." As you can tell by the dates on the post, i have not done very good about keeping up with this assignment. In all honesty, i had completely forgot about it. When i did remember i said i will sit down this Sunday and get caught up, then promptly proceeded to forget again. This time i am not going to forget.
The first paragraph of the proclamation says ""We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny if his children."
What i found interesting about this section is that the leadership of the church got behind a concept that was not even in question when the proclamation came to be. Yet here we are 20 plus years after the document was released and our court system has now challenged what we once believed was the way of life. a man and a woman fall in love get married have children and live happily ever after. Not so in the the 2000 teens we now have legalized same sex marriage.This leads me to wonder, how do we fulfill God's plan for eternal families with same sex marriages? I know i sound a bit old fashioned, but God created Adam and Eve, NOT Adam and Steve. I am sorry if i offend, but i am entitled to my opinion just the same as others are entitled to theirs. And i truly believe that children do much better when raised in a home with a loving father and mother.
