I said that comments are welcome but I have a hard time leaving a comment on this blog when it is insulting. I know that there are many people who believe in all different things and there are many who do not like members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't appreciate you insulting my beliefs.

I believe that people who feel hatred for this church do not understand it. I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ died for everyone so that we could repent of our sins and return to Him and God. I know that God has a plan for all His children. He loves us all so much and wants nothing more than for all of us to return to Him and feel joy. He even designed a plan for us to be together with our families forever. Why would anyone reject that? I was married for time and all eternity, not until this life is over. God and Jesus have so much love for us all that we cannot comprehend it. I have faith that what I believe is true.

A great majority of my relatives are mormon. They are very family oriented and loving people. I admire them in many ways.

I am not a mormon and I feel that if I truly love my family....I should tell them the truth. This is where it gets very "sticky" because as much as I believe that the only source for truth is in the Bible.....they believe the Bible is not all truth and must be corrected by the Book of Mormon. The thing is.....we both are not correct. One of us is wrong! And whoever is wrong has all of eternity to pay for it. I'll just say that "we" all need to be sure "we" know the truth before we pass out into eternity.

My uncle passed away two years ago. He was a bishop in the mormon church. I have often wondered what he would say to his children if he could come back to earth.

I "lovingly" hope and pray that both you and I know the "truth" before we die.

Thank you, "Anonymous," for your comment. I agree with you that we should find the truth before we die. That is something that our church emphasizes. We need to find out for ourselves the truth. The only way that we can is through Heavenly Father. I know that he will answer our prayers and let us know the answers to our questions. It is something to do with real intent and with faith that he will answer. When you receive an answer there is no denying that it is from Him. I have prayed and waited and did a lot of studying to find out for myself that the church I go to is true. I know that the Book of Mormon is from God and along with the Bible, it testifies of Jesus Christ. I would encourage you to read the Book of Mormon with an open heart and pray to know of its truthfulness.

I also wholeheartedly believe in the doctrine taught by the LDS church. I have nothing but respect for people of other faiths. I don't find myself thinking of them going to hell or something awful happening to them in the afterlife. Our Heavenly Father is fair and merciful. I believe the actions and choices we make here in life are what we will be judged on. It makes me sad that anonymous, or anyone else would worry about me going to hell because I believe in the doctrine of my church. The God I believe in is not contentious and divisive. I don't feel the need to judge other's beliefs. I would like to instead worry about the life I am leading, and make sure I am doing all I can to perfect myself.

Leadership Meeting

By
I was lucky to be able to attend a leadership meeting yesterday (December 2, 2023) Flagstaff with Elder Steven D. Shumway, Elder Michael A. Dunn, and Elder D. Todd Christofferson. Life has been pretty darn hard this year. I have felt very low this week. The hour and a half drive was worth it if I could get even a small moment of peace. Of course, I heard so much that I needed to hear. Things I needed to be reminded, and things that I needed to learn.  This list of things that stood out to me probably wouldn't help anyone else. I know that I learn best when I can write what I have learned and get a better understanding from it. I am very forgetful and have a hard time reiterating what others have said. I understand things in my mind, but when I express that understanding to someone else, I have a hard time knowing what words to use. So this is my way of trying to get through it. Ok, so Elder D. Todd Christofferson talked about how the Atonement of Jesus Christ is what makes the whol...

Realization

By
A little seed was planted in my heart when I was a teenager going to seminary. I decided during the year we were learning about the Book of Mormon that I wanted to know for myself if it was true. When I prayed about it, nothing spectacular happened, but I felt a unique feeling of peace that I hadn't felt before. Now that it's been over 20 years later, I can say that every time I've read the Book of Mormon, that belief that it is true has become stronger and stronger. This year I decided to get a special Book of Mormon that has space to write on each page. I set a goal to take the time to ponder what I have read and write down what I understand, or what the Spirit tells me. I have read this book many times and have learned a lot already, but this time has felt so different. I have been able to understand so much more. There are days when I want to hurry and read the next chapter to catch up and not take the extra time to ponder and write, but I have made myself do it anyways...
