Class 11/21

I was very surprised to hear that the church will now be paying women with a CES calling that are either divorced or have small children. I argue that church callings should not be payed positions, regardless of the position holders financial or maritalisfrotunes. It's a good way of looking out for our members, but I feel that we should abstain from having layed positions within the church, for this is one of the ways in which we differ from other churches. I am not seeking unfair treatment or inequality of women in the church. I would say the same if it was a divorced man or a man with small children.

I stood in the veranda of my new home, enjoying the scenic view in front of me. The last rays of daylight were still visible in the sky but were rapidly fading away into twilight. The breeze touched my cheeks tenderly. It carried the scent of flowers, so refreshing. The dark night was slowly crawling in. As day turned into night, the air got cooler and the atmosphere became more peaceful. I sauntered to the kitchen looking for food to appease my hunger. 

Norman Rockwell's freedom of speech oil painting was inspired by United States President, Franklin D. Roosevelt in a State of the Union Address, known as Four Freedoms. The painting belongs to a series of four oil paintings. At a glance we immediately notice that the man standing or the speaker is clad in rugged, grimy looking work clothes. He stands tell amid a sea of well-dressed, elder looking people. Many in his immediate vicinity are giving him their attention as he speaks

Class 11/3

Though it may be rather ignorant of me, I've not spent much time educating myself on the history of polygamy in the lds church. Sure when I have shared my mormon faith many of my friends have asked if I participate in polygamy, but my answer is always just a simple no, that is not what our religion is about. And the. I'll usually continue on into a deeper explanation of what our church and I believe, what we are, failing completely to acknowdgd anything about palygamy. My very basic understanding of palygamy in the church is that God commanded members to marry multiple wives because of a lack of lds men. It was for the soul purpose of producing offspring, and because it is a commandment to abstain from sex outside of marriage it was necessary to marry.
