School has started again, and this semester I am taking a religion class. This class encourages you to read your scriptures, and report what principles you might have taken from those readings. Another part of this class is report report back on an assignment that we choose.
For the first assignment I choose to report back on Matthew 1-2 and Joseph's response when Mary became pregnant with Christ.
Joseph had two options when he found out that Mary was pregnant. He could have brought Mary up on trial that could have ended in death or he could quietly have their betrothal annulled. Joseph was in love with Mary and didn't want her to die, so he was going to choose the second option and have their betrothal annulled.
Matthew 1:20 tells us that an angel came to Joseph and assured him that all would be okay, and that he should take care of Mary and make her his wife. Joseph was in love with Mary and went ahead and took Mary as his wife. Joseph was in tune with the spirit and was willing to follow the guidance of the angel.

Sometimes we don't understand why we are asked to do things. I am so thankful for the privilege of personal revelation to help us know the things that we need to do when our mind can't always make sense of it. Sounds like a fun class.
