Reminds me of the plank, speck thing. Perhaps you should simply live your life out reverently before Heavenly Father, eh?

Oh, I don't claim to be sophisticated, but I know that I like. I know less about music than other things. Not being academic at all, music affects me deeply in my soul.

Wagner is dark, but I have one CD that is Wagner and it is pleasant to listen to after midnight when I am watching. Bach is fun. Handel's "Messiah" is probably my most favorite. Thank you for reminding me of this. For me this is not just Christmas Music, it can be heard in my home in July or September :) Katherine Jenkins music is heavenly to me, but I will not hide the fact that I liked ZZ Top and AC/DC when I was younger. :) Heavenly Father has changed me so much, He protects my soul.

I mostly like cheery, reverent music, but have my moments. LOL I don't like Italian Opera and most rap. The rest of it, I am up for at least for a while. Yesterday, I discovered Magnetic Zeros, "Home". Wow! What ever they have I want some of. :) There is one series of songs that have been my favorites for years and they tell a story. They start with "Where did you go?", by Ft Minor, then "What do you want from me?" by Adam Lambert, then "Paralizer" by Finger Eleven, then "The Thrill is Gone, by BB King. then, "We coulda had it all", by Adelle. Those were the dark years. Lately, I really like, "More Holiness Give Me", "And Can It Be", and several LDS hyms that were written during the formative years of our church. The loudest head banger rock has given way to reverent, worshipful praise to Heavenly Father. Wut happened? :)

I'm not gonna chase this whole thing down, but I would like to make a few observations. I think it is undeniable that Missionary service grows children up. Two years of enduring rejection and pain for men. and 18 months for women teaches skills that will be of life long use. To the young it may seem like to much of a sacrifice because they are impatient and immature. From what I can see, there is "wiggle" room, but if you don't want to go, pray about it. Have a good time.

Spent a few weeks in Indiana, and at a Fireside a Bishop was talking about getting drafted for Vietnam. It was about then that his call to go on a mission came through. He went on the Mission.

Well, let us know how that goes. I am sure that you will see differences.

I'd heard it said that Melchizedek was Jesus Christ, but Jesus Christ as God? That directly contradicts the New Testament. Of course you have the, "I and the Father are one", but I was once told that the more correct interpretation is: "I and the Father agree".

Garments are something that I hear "nons" wonder about. There is that presure from some to see our church as something laughable. It's not of course, but people are people. I got in trouble for picking some that were folded and fell on the floor up and putting them back on the table. I just laughed it off. If fallen underwear is the worst emergency you ever face ...

I converted a few years ago; don't ask me to figure it out. LOL Went to church in Indianapolis a few months ago. Hope to go Sunday somewhere in Idaho, really pretty solitary though. Passed through Utah this spring. It was pretty. I wasn't Military. I just make things stay put.

So, can anyone explain to me how to do all that. I've been looking but the way remains obscure for me. :)

My gosh, I doubt that there is a Mormon less active than I am, but for me the establishment of our church is simply a continuation of the word of Heavenly Father and that is pretty easy to see. Is your family worth your satisfaction? Brace yourself for lots of alimony and child support. Do you care about your child?

I'm not very active but do believe in the church and all the stuff. Just work too much I guess. Maybe someday, I'll slow down a bit. Been all over the place and found some interesting people. I like people. Who knows maybe someday, I'll find a place that sticks my foot, and I'll find a guy. Who knows what'll happen after that? Too busy so far. Sunny
