One of the things that stood out to me in class this day was the idea of having children; not the idea itself of course, but a certain aspect of it.  A reference to a quote from Brigham Young was brought up mentioning the thought that if we, members of the church of Jesus Christ who have the capasity to create good homes, don't bring children into them Brigham Young poses the question, "where do they go?"  He further suggests that if we don't choose to have them into our homes they will go to homes that are not good, or in fact to homes that are wicked.  That is kind of a heavy thought to me.  The Lord wants us to have children and to provide an environment that is safe, full of love and teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ.
