For twenty years my mother was waiting for the "other shoe to fall" concerning my faith.  I figured this out as she told me that my faith was the only thing I've stuck with for 20 years.  I am with it because it is true and the source of my strength.  It takes me through the hard times and makes them tolerable.  It makes the good times even more joyful. 

I am a member of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.  I have had many people tell me how wrong they think I am, but I know what I believe and whom I worship. Jesus.  I am grateful that Joseph Smith Junior wanted to know the truth and retired to a grove of trees to pray and recieved an amazing answer.  And I know that anyone who wants to know the same truth can, all they have to do is pray and ask if Joseph Smith Junior really saw God and His Son Jesus.  I know what the answer is.  It's the reason I am a member of this most wonderful church.  

I know that all people are falible. And those in my church are falible but most are also faithful and loving.  I know that there is a Prophet on the earth now his name is Gordon B. Hinckley.  He has counsellors and helpers.  But He is the only Man on earth right now who has the right to receive revelation directly for the whole earth.  I have a right to recieve revelation for myself and my immediate family.  I am very grateful for personal revelation. 

I am also grateful for the opportunity to be involved in introducing seekers to the missionaries from the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.  Those wonderful people seeking answers to, who am I , where did I come from, and where will I go when I leave here?  I can honestly say I have faith that I have those answers, since the veil of forgetfulness was placed over my mind, I don't remember the pre-earth life that I have been taught I came from, and as I have learned why I am here and have prayed about it, I have felt the witness of the Holy Ghost that I have learned correctly.  And even though no one who has left this life other than Jesus, has ever come back to tell us what is there, I have the witness of the Holy Ghost telling me what I have been taught concerning the Spirit world and the kingdoms of heaven are real and I will be in one of them after Jesus Returns. 

The other thing I have heard much of is folks trying to "calculate" when Jesus will return.  In the scriptures it says "no man knoweth, nor the angels of heaven"  only God knows and He is not telling.  So the only thing I learned in finding out when Jesus is coming back is to watch the signs.  So I listen to the news and watch the skies.
