About this blog

Hello to the reader of this blog-

This blog was created to share the truth about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yes, we are known as "Mormons" but that is not the name of our church. Let me first make clear that we are NOT in any way affiliated with the FLDS church. Polygamy was denounced by our prophet over a hundred years ago. Please do not let the LDS title confuse you in this respect.
Through this blog, I will be sharing experiences of my own; growing up in the church, what I know and have learned for myself to be true, how to be prepared for an emergency (spiritually and temporally), and the real doctrine we teach and practice. I will also be providing (in the side bar) links that you can go to, that are sponsored by the Church and will give you a true, better knowledge of what our basic doctrines are.
I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 28yrs., basically I was born into the church. I have experienced many things for myself that have borne witness of the truthfulness of this Gospel. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He lived, was crucified, and resurrected on the third day, breaking the bands of death so we could live eternally. I believe in Temples and the work that is performed there, binding families together forever, not just until "death do you part", is real and true. I believe we have a modern day Prophet, just like Moses, today who speaks to us as the "mouthpiece of the Lord", even President Thomas S. Monson. I believe this the Priesthood has been restored to this earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know and testify of the power of prayer. It is the only way we can speak with our Heavenly Father and feel His love for us. He knows each of us individually, He Loves us and wants the best for us, but it is up to us to "Come Unto Him". I believe that there is the Spirit of the Holy Ghost that testifies to us things that are right and true. He is our companion, or if you will our conscience, our constant guide in our lives. This life is our time to prepare to meet our maker, our God. We are here for a reason and there is a purpose, each to his own. I pray that as you read this blog, you may find hope in knowing you are NEVER alone. This is my belief, my testimony.
I ask that you please be respectful in comments and keep an open-mind. This blog is not to convert a nation, it is just simply to correct so many mis-understandings and mis-information about the Church. May your lifes be full of love and hope and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
