Corey D, I would ask you what Church other than the LDS even teaches that there is a mother in heaven? If anything, it is a bible problem, in that the only real reference to Her is that all of the spiritual sons and daughters of God were created in their image (Genesis), and after that really nothing in the bible. My personal opinion is that the lack of focus on her is a part of the apostacy, because in early Judaic thought, she was definitely present, more so than what is presented in the present day bible. God the Father and His Son have their names trashed and taken in vain a billion times a day, and for that reason alone, I am glad her name and Person is shielded.

I recently read Kurt Francom's book "Is God Disappointed in Me?" (He is not!) As I read this essay, I could not help thinking of Father in Heaven & Mother in Heaven & me & my wife & all of OUR children & all of our brothers and sisters. There is so much to think about and so much work to do!

I understand why and where Brother Eyre is coming from and the intent and hope of his message but don't think much is going to change, at least in society in general, yesterday's events being a perfect example of the division in society, also very predictable events. Like most everything else in the gospel it all boils down to what does an individual decide he or she will do in his life and how will they treat or talk to others. I must say though not sure I agree with his answer/reasoning behind why we don't hear or read much about our Mother in heaven, I think equality in heaven or in God's plan is different than how we view/define it and I think our Heavenly parent's relationship is different than we imagine, not to say it's not a loving relationship, God is love but I think things are a little more different than we think.

Dang it Richard! You've given me more work to do! This article is SO insightful and SO brilliant that now I feel I haven't paid close enough attention to yours and Linda's other writings, so now I have a lot of re-reading and study to do! But seriously, this is awesome. Thanks for opening up new levels of understanding divine truths. & & & & &
Maybe I'll make up some T-shirts for me and my Eternal Companion: "She&Me", and "He&Me". Whaddaya think? & &
