Sorry I haven't blogged in forever! Lots of craziness going on here to report on soon. I saw this video. Media has twisted and pulled apart our beliefs so feel like I have to share what I believe.
Our church focuses on trying to perfect ourselves to become like our supreme exemplar, Jesus Christ. We strive to not sin, to treat others with kindness, and overcome our weaknesses… basically, we strive to be good. That helps us grow and progress to be better people. We also believe after death we will be able to continue to learn to grow and progress. With that, we can become gods and goddesses as we learn the mysteries of God.
Is that so crazy? What do you think you’ll do after death? Sit on a cloud and play a harp FOREVER? Sounds boring.
Yeah, we believe the Garden of Eden was in Missouri.
Where do you think it was? Why does it matter??
Those two things are not what our religion is about. Our religion urges us to be honest people, to get an education, to improve our community, to cherish our family, to be moral, to serve others, to repent, and to forgive...just to name a few.
So I guess the real question is why wouldn’t you want a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as your President?
Yep that's my girl! You tell 'em Meg.
