These wonderful messages are not just for those belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. the Mormon church). They can have such a wonderful impact on any person's life.
In class today we talked about how the media (specifically music) can impact our perceptions of ourselves and the world in which we live. The Mormon Messages warm my heart and motivate me to be better. They make me treasure my family and plan to get married to form a new and wonderful extension of my family.
Below is a link to one of my favorite Mormon Messages. It was one of the first I ever saw and it continues to be an influence for good in my life. I want to keep my family, but this message demonstrates how seemingly small choices/mistakes can eventually devastate or destroy my family. I want to watch MY steps, keeping each one in line with what is right for my family.
P.S. With the great effect music has on us in mind, recognize the emotions and thoughts that the music in this video stir up within you. To what extent do you agree with the message? A more interesting question may be how much, if at all, do you think the music influences you to agree?

I totally agree! And it's not just with pornography, we have to watch our EVERY step in life, because it only takes one to get you on the wrong path. And the music totally adds to it! Makes me want to cry!
