My heart sank as I read the news today about the plight of a homeschooling family in California. They were homeschooling because they did not want their children being taught immoral lifestyles in a public school setting.

The reach of this state is chilling as it continues to rewrite societal standards.

The Preparedness blog here at LDSBlogs.com is meant to cover all kinds of preparedness issues and topics. As I cast my mind about thinking of what might be useful to you, I am mindful of something one of the Mormon leaders recently told the general church (officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons), we believe in reaching out to others in adversity. It is what we stand for, because we believe Christ in His admonishments to serve and love others as He did. And we join in joy with all those throughout the world who live in the same way, regardless of whether they are of our same faith or not.
