How do you like to refer to Heavenly Father?

[Guest]

When talking about God, I always use the terms either Heavenly Father, Father in Heaven, or the Father, because I feel He wants to be referred to as a loving Heavenly parent. I don't often say God, I never say Elohim because I think that's more of a sacred name. I would never say the Creator like some people say because that seems too vague. I don't say the Lord because I feel Jesus is the Lord. I feel comfortable only saying Heavenly Father. If I ever type God on here it's because I'm trying to save typing time by not fully spelling out Heavenly Father. How do you refer to Him?

I make it a specific point to only ever refer to Him as Ahman.  Especially when talking to muggles, I mean. . . non-members.

I use the terms God, God the Father, and Heavenly Father the most.

I am very cognizant of the commandment that we should not take his name in vain.  Because of that, I tend to skirt around specific names, and utilize terms that are more general and still respectful.  it can be a delicate balance on my part in regards to ME (and only me in this regard).
