You honestly only see your role as provider. That last leadership training video (Oaks, Holland and three ladies) went out if its way to stress that men are just not providers (as if I needed to be told that) and needed to help their wives in nurturing.

I kept waiting for them the say that wives needed to help their husbands in providing, but it didn't come. Maybe that comes in part two.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
