I would, however, suggest that Colorcountry may be harming herself by having one foot in and one foot out of the Mormon church. I’d suggest that if she believes in Christ, she should seek out the truth, but if she remains in the comfort of cultural Mormonism, she may rob herself of the impetus to do so. A journey of spiritual exploration may help her to resolve any ambiguities in her own heart.

Thank you dangus, for your concern. The culture of Mormonism is interesting. There is an article here describing some of the conflicts that cultural members have. My mother is a Temple attending Mormon. My Brother is a Bishop. My FIL is the Stake High Priest leader. My MIL is Relief Society President. My husband is a true-believing Jack Mormon. It would be impossible to extricate myself entirely from Mormonism and the culture.

I HAVE extricated myself from belief. I've stated I attend other Churches. and I do attend a Christian congregation regularly. It is non-denominational. I attend Bible study once a week as well, and read the Bible daily. I am on a journey with my Savior. His feet lead my path. Do not worry about me or my salvation, dangus. It is securely in HIS hands.

I’m gladdened to hear it. :^D May God guide you to the truth.

This might smug or triumphantalist in that context, so let me start a new context:

Have you ever attended the Catholic Church? Particularly one of the ancient rites (Byzantine, etc.) might be especially appealing.
