Strong Warriors

I take online courses through BYU-I to finish my Bachelor's degree and this semester my class is on The Family: A Proclamation to the World.  It is divided up into 6 sections that they call Cores and the study of each core takes 2 weeks.  This week is the first week of Core #1 which is on the Plan of Salvation.  I have been able to study and read a lot of material to learn the things I need to know for the test next week.
 
And when I say lots of reading...I mean LOTS of reading.  Most of it has been interesting and I have enjoyed but some of it has gone COMPLETELY over my head, so I don't know how that really helps me...

Anyway, in one of the powerpoints was a quote from President Benson that I really liked. 

" What remains to be seen is where each of us personally, now and in the future, will stand in this fight- and how tall we will stand.  Will we be true to our last days- our foreordained mission?"

I liked that.  It made me think of a strong warrior holding up their shield and spear and ready to go into battle no matter how much larger the other army is. 

I like learning.
