As I’ve mentioned before, we have recently moved into a new ward. This is a new experience for us.We were members of our old ward for almost 50 years. This week a member of our new ward took me
out for lunch. It was a very good experience. We asked questions about each of our lives, our families
and experiences inside & outside of church. The conclusion for both of us was, that even though we haven’t
lived a perfect life (problems & challenges) we can still apply the basic principles of the gospel as best
we can. We don’t have to be perfect. It was an interesting experience.
I wish I could have more experiences like that in the church & outside.
One of the conclusions I’m coming up with in this life is: living a superficial life is a waste of time. I believe
that God wants us to be close, emotionally & spiritually within the limits of the time we have on this earth.
And within the limits that we are comfortable with.
Everything I read in the scriptures about Jesus Christ is that’s what he tried to do in the personal relationships
he had in his short life. Or, am I reading too much into the scriptures?
I agree MM. There is very little of the gospel I’m pretty sure about. Loving one another is one of the things I’m pretty God wants us to do.
I am comfortable with my own interpretations of things, and I genuinely love the large majority of the people with whom I worship directly. (I live outside central Mormondom, so that is easier for me right now.)
