President Monson, What a Great Smile!

As I sit here at my computer this evening listening to a fight amongst some college kids outside, and hearing more cuss words than a ... than a movie with lots of cuss words in it... I find myself ever more grateful that I have a man like Thomas S. Monson to look to for guidance.

For those of you who visit my blog and are not of my faith, I am a Mormon. I am proud of my heritage and I have indeed researched practically every major religion and faith out there. How have I been able to find such exposure to so many faiths you might ask... Well, my father's chosen profession was a funeral director. Through this medium, I was able to meet, see, and study various Religious practices.

As you can see I am still a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I declare my witness that I have received the comforting assurance of my Father in Heaven that this is the true and everlasting church established upon the face of the land, restored from the apostasy which occurred after Christ's Crucifixion when the apostles were all martyred and the Priesthood was removed from off the face of the land.

The gospel as taught by the church holds the answers to questions so frequently sought in the world today. It is able to answer questions where others can only encourage faith due to a lack of scriptural evidence, or scriptural contradiction.

The man you see above is a man who lives by God's law, and serves on this earth as God's Living and true prophet upon the earth.

I testify to you, that these things are true. I invite each of you to investigate a bit more. If you are curious about how your family can be together forever, then find out... Ask about Heavenly Father's Plan for our happiness on this earth.

And PLEASE please please do not take my word alone, or think that I would ever expect anyone to do so. Rather, I encourage you to truly seek guidance from our Loving Heavenly Father. He hears our prayers and answers them, and I promise as you ask in faith, believing that he will answer as he promises over and over again, you will receive guidance as to what he would have you to do.

Perhaps you have been praying, maybe this is an answer for that which you have been seeking. I know that the spirit will testify to your heart, and if that be the case, please feel free to ask me anything. I am not here to convert others. But rather to share with them the joy I have found through this Gospel which I live.

My testimony stands to invite thru love. I hope that you know my desire to share this with you, is founded in "Love" and not an ounce of contention. I am only reaching to those who are seeking. The churches across this great nation have incredible people who lead and guide in them. I am humbled by the service they render in our communities and the counsel they share to so many.

I know that they are serving God to the fullest they know how, and I honor them for it. I merely know that my Heavenly Father has spoken directly to my heart as I have knelt in earnest prayer asking his guidance, and have been overwhelmed by the clearness of the response. My life is happier, my marriage stronger, and my joy fuller, and I cannot deny what I know. Of these truths I testify and seal it unto heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, -Amen-

-Keep on Smiling-
