It's a Fam Bam; not a Fam Bomb

 WOW. What a good lookin' group eh? 

Look, nothings perfect, but I know that things sure are a lot better having a close and loving family. I know that my siblings are one of the main reasons that I strive to become a better man, I kow that 4 sets of eyes are always watching me, my siblings eyes. 

I can honestly say that this group of goons are my best friends, my hype squad, my tribe. 

I love the fact that we actually get along on and off the camera, we laughin', we playin' we grubbin' we chillin', we livin'.  I know that I can count on them for everything! That is something most don't have...

There is something happening in the world, it is something that may seem to personal for many insitutes to acknowledge for fear of retribution of a mob, but there is just far too many broken families, and this is sad. But perhaps just as concerning is the fact that couples seem to not be having children, and if they do; two is statistically a high number! This is very concerning becuase if this trend continues, there will literally be less people on the earth in 20 years than there are today. 

I spent a decent chunk of my evening creating this graph that will help illustrate my point... observe.

This horrifying trend is happening for many many reasons, with some of the main ones being that the general population is scared of depleting the worlds resources! But here is the thing, the Lord has stated in Doctrine and Covenants 104:17 "For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things" This is a pretty impressive promise! And we as Latter-Days Saints know that, which is why we have the responsibility to live our lives to the fullest and show the world how well the plan of Salvation works in our lives! 

I know that it hasn't always been very easy financially on my parents to have 5 kids, but they have worked and saved hard in order so that we can the best life possible. This reminds me of the scripture in John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." I have seen this great love in the lives and examples of my parents. They have shown that putting their trust in the Lord will always work and I know that my life has forever been blessed by the fact they decided to have kids in this crazy world and then strive to teach and put into practice the righteous principles of the Gospel. This is truely a testimony. 

I pray that this may help a reader who may need another reminder that the Lord has you covered! If we keep the Commandments we shall prosper in the land! Alma 36:1

We are truly in the latter days, but if we do all we can to bring up the rising generation to the Lord we will be doing the best work possible, our lives will be full, we will have peace, and we shall be saved! 

Let God Prevail!
