In verse 20 Nephi talks about a prophet that the Lord will raise up. A prophet has been raised up in our day. His Name is Thomas S. Monson. President Monson is a wonderful man. I think in the church it is hard for people to transition when a new prophet is called. This time I think that it has been especially hard because President Hinckley was so beloved and admired. I hope that we are taking President Monson's words just a serious as we did President Hinkley's.
The proposition 8 controversy has been really sad to watch. Some of our own people are choosing to go against the church and the Prophet. If you disagree with the church's stance on proposition 8, in my eyes you are saying that you will not follow the prophet's counsel. We have defined marriage as one woman and one man. Since 1995 we have had the Proclamation on the Family to study and accept. Our prophet has given us this counsel and I for one believe in it and in him. I don't know what has changed between 1995 and today that is causing some members to question the church's definition of marriage. It is sad. I pray that we will follow our leaders and stay close to the words of our beloved prophet. He has been given to us in these last days to help guide us and keep ourselves and our families safe.

You are such a good man Chris. . . I feel very grateful to have you as a son-in-law!
Hey Chris!
There is a ton of controversy down here over this. We had Prop 102 which mirrored 8 in CA.
I just read in Isaiah...(I forget what chapter its in) that many will begin to turn their backs on the prophets in the ladder days. Looks like this is the issue that might start it. Pretty crazy...
