Decisions Determine Destiny In high school‚ the opportunity to do things such as drugs‚ or alcohol presented itself. The way I was raised and with my beliefs in the LDS religion I would never do something like that. Therefore‚ I always thought‚ “If I drink or smoke‚ how will I will be able to teach my kids not to do so?” I do not want my kids saying to me‚” Dad‚ since you did that stuff‚ why can’t I?” Being an example is so important these days and I believe that the world around us is becoming

Looking at fate as the general intellect would define it‚ it seems unmovable‚ unbeatable‚ and impersonal. However‚ foreshadowing Aeneas’ destiny with the general definition of fate‚ makes for a pretty boring story. Luckily‚ Virgil defined fate very differently through The Aeneid. Instead of allotting fate with a secondary role‚ Virgil brought fate into the limelight by putting

6. Shaping Destinies Every father (mother) has legitimate spiritual authority over the children. The words of the parents over the children carry weight and recognition before God. The pronouncements could help to make or mar the child.
