You sound BYU trained. Are you??
Golly, Elsie! Thanks for the compliment!
No, I’m not “BYU trained.” I spent almost 30 years actively searching for a religion to fit my beliefs. The LDS Church was the only religious entity that I felt comfortable with because it had answers to my questions.
And I had been asking questions for years, in every “church” I joined, hoping that “this is the one!” Some didn’t babtize by immersion, as Jesus was; some didn’t baptize at all; some didn’t believe in respect for the Holy Ghost; some didn’t believe anyone could be inspired by the Holy Ghost, much less receive personal revelation.
To make a long story short, like most of us, I chose the religion that made me the most comfortable.
And you?
