SABBATH MUSINGS

"Im not who you think I am MacKenzie. I don't
need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own
punishment, devouring you from the inside. It
is not my purpose to punish it; its my joy to cure it.

I love my job....have I said that too many times this week?
I love that I am often asked about being a Mormon. Its always surprising how little people know about us. I love having conversations about what I believe. (only when asked.) It makes me braver and more confident each time Im asked about the things that make us different from other religions.
One of the things I find most interesting is how other people and religions view our Heavenly Father. We were talking about Hell fire and brimstone the other day. We speculated whether God is a a vengeful, angry God. People are surprised to learn that Mormons view Heavenly Father as just that....a loving, patient, wise, gracious Father.
Im not an eloquent soul. I fumble over my own tongue and with my emotions and in putting two logical sentences together, especially when it comes to my religious beliefs. I know what I know and what I believe. The Spirit whispers to me quite often when I seek It, and thus my testimony is always growing and developing. Talking to guests is just another way for this to happen for me. And I so enjoy enlightening others of what it means to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
