One person and their defense of the family:

Today’s blog was inspired by reading about a man by the name of Richard G Wilkins. Before his death this year he was highly involved with an organization called defense of the family. He gave a lecture at United Nations of the importance of the family. Wilkins emphasized that the definition of a family is the marriage between a man and a woman. As a result of his opinion he was spit upon at the United Nations by people who wanted to alter the definition of the family

This man’s experiences provides an excellent example of how an individual to make an impact on the world around him. This reminds us that we as individuals we can make an impact in our chosen passion. Often when I think of someone make an impact on the world I may think of a historical figure such as George Washington or Ben Franklin or might think of an inventor such as Alexander Graham Bell or Michelangelo, and forget that one individual can make an impact on their local community, congregation or town.

Simply by becoming a delegate or city Council member or to be on the committee or to participate in a charity event, all of these contribute to the prosperity of the community. As a new use resolution, I am hoping to participate in activity that will affect only one person at a time. But if I can alter that one individual in a positive way then it will be a good use of my time. This is an invitation for each of us to find some chosen area in our community or nation that we can contribute our intellect and our passion to its success.

Now to spend a little time on the accomplishments of the Family Watch International organization.

I remember attending a lecture several years ago at Utah Valley State College of another woman who was involved in defense of the family, and she talked about organization specifically dedicated to hurting the family unit. She also gave some alarming information about the Girl Scouts of America. I recorded the lecture and will have to find it.

I’m going to present some articles about Richard G Wilkins that present some of his experiences while in defense of the family. This is a nice organization I recommend everyone check it out.
