Cathy seems to be feeling better and when you consider that her surgery was less than two weeks ago, perhaps we can consider it a miracle that she is healing so well. She is - we both are - looking forward to the visit next week from Kevin and Becky. Another Heavenly miracle is unfolding with the marriage of Kevin and Becky. It's still a work in progress but I truly see this marriage as a giant step in Kevin's eternal progress. He and Becky and her - their - five kids seem to be truly blessed by this marriage.

The Family Proclamation, 8, "We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets."

"In our day civil governments have a vested interest in protecting marriage because strong families constitute the best way of providing for the health, education, welfare, and prosperity of rising generations. But civil governments are heavily influenced by social trends and secular philosophies as they write, rewrite, and enforce laws. Regardless of what civil legislation may be enacted, the doctrine of the Lord regarding marriage and morality cannot be changed. Remember: sin, even if legalized by man, is still sin in the eyes of God!"

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Apostle
