Reading Portion

1) I chose to read "Leave it Alone" by Elder H. Burke Peterson (in the media category).
2) I specifically was impressed when Elder Ballard mentioned how being a parent and taking care of Heavenly Father's children is one of the most important stewardships we have here on earth. We are not just parents for a little while, we are parents forever. This was important to me and made me want to remember how important Heavenly Father's children are. I really want to take care of my children and keep them safe from all of the evils of the modern world.
3) I would like to follow President Hinckley's counsel that was on the Internet safety list. I think that list would be a good Family Home Evening activity to go over together as a family. I hope that I can talk to my children openly and help them be aware of the temptations that are too easily accessible on the internet and in the media.
4) It's hard to be in a situation among friends or family members where I feel uncomfortable with the movie being watched. I would like to try harder to have the courage to not particpate in media that is vulgar and violent and inappropriate. I think this will be hard, but maybe I can be an example for someone else.
