What shall we then say…

I am a mom and I want my children to have it at least as good as I’ve had it.  I love to see them enjoying life and dreaming of the future.  I’m also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and one of the things I love about the doctrine of our church is the unlimited possibilities for joy through faithfulness and obedience.  

If marriage and family is what one loves, it can be forever.  If someone’s idea of heaven is not being married, there’s a place for that, too.   If someone is not a member of this church and doesn’t want to be, he can still go to heaven.       

 One criticism of our religion is in regard to our belief that as God is, man may become.  It is considered by some to be blasphemy.  One of the definitions of blasphemy is “the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.”  Interestingly, Jesus was accused of blasphemy which would have been true if he had just been falsely claiming to be the Son of God.  If it’s true, it’s not blasphemy. 

I think it is a wonderful thing that our Heavenly Father wants his children to have it as good as He does.  Good things are  always better when they’re shared.  And why not?  “With God, all things are possible.”  (Mathew 19:26)

But will I really?  That would mean doing a whole bunch of posts in a short amount of time.  Well, I probably won’t but for starters here’s a list of future posts:

 1.  Appendicitis runs in our family!

2.  What I learned from platform nine and three quarters

3.  Brain in the gut and other digestive tidbits

4.  Telling the good guys from the bad guys

Okay, that’s probably more than enough to commit myself to.  I can’t believe I’m doing this because I have discovered, especially now that I’m putting my thoughts out there for ‘all’ to see, that I just don’t always follow through with what I say I’m going to do.   Why don’t I just not say anything and go ahead and just do whatever it is?  Well in this case the answer is that this was an easy post to do and I just had to do one today to get myself started!
