100 QUOTE MINIMUM

FDREL333 Living Prophets is a required class.

Using 4 assigned topics and 6 more picked as "relevant to our day", by the class, we find 10 quotes from living prophets and apostles for each of the 10 topics.

This will be fun. 

What do you think is relevant?

Each student was asked to post 2 things. We were not to duplicate any others (but it could not be avoided if several posted almost simultaneously). I waited a day or so until someone else had posted committment, family history, anger, and the last days (I thought that was close enough to "2nd coming") and the I posted my other two choices: faith vs fear and kindness.

The class posted the following list as relevant:

Accountability, Addiction, Adversity, Commandments, Appropriate Media, Avoiding gossip, Anger Management, Blessings, Charity, Cheerfulness, Clean language, Commitment, Compassion, Contention, Conversion, Desire to be perfect, Developing Christlike attributes, Dress/grooming, Dwindling in Unbelief, Enduring to the end/through trials, Entitlement, Family history, Geneology, Family Home Evening, Scripture study, Fear vs Faith, Fellowshipping, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Hard Things, Honesty, Hope, Humility, In the world but not of the world, Jesus as God, Joy, Judging Others, Keeping the Commandments, Keeping the Sabbath Day holy, Kindness, Last Days, Marriage, Ministering, Miracles, Missionary work, Modesty, Obedience, Over-coming , Patience, Parenting, Peace, Perseverance, Personal Accountability, Personal revelation, Personal Worth, Pioneers/Church History, Prayer, Preparation, Pride, Priesthood, Priesthood Duty, Purity, Reaching the One, Retaining new converts, Same-Sex Attraction, Satan's war on our Youth, Seeking divine guidance, Self Mastery, Selfishness, Self-Reliance, Senior Missionary Service, Service, Spirituality, Stand in Holy places, Studying the Scriptures, Supporting/Sustaining Leaders in the Church, Testimony, Tender Mercies, Temple work, Tithing, True to self, Trust in God/Jesus Christ, Trust in the Lord, Virtue, Welfare, Women of Faith, Word of Wisdom, Work.

In addition to the assigned 4 topics - Family, Atonement, Agency, Pornography, you can pick any other 6. I notice that some topics kind of overlap or go together. I think forgiveness, marriage, parenting, patience, prayer, scritpure study, priesthood, and 'women of faith' would all fit in the category "family".

I would lump all missionary work, family histroy and genealogy, fellowshipping, charity, and compassion into the category of "service". I picked "service" along with my own topics posted. 

I would lump hope, trust, humility, miracles, patience, personal revelation, and others with "faith vs fear".

How would you organize so many topics?

How would you decide what is relevant to you personally?

What will you pick?
