What I Believe

I believe in God, that we are all His children, that He loves us, and that we are on the earth as part of a plan created for our benefit.

I believe God desires for us to be happy, that we have the freedom to choose but not the freedom of choosing the consequences of our choices.

I believe all people have an internal compass that let's us know what is right and wrong.

I believe that God expects us to care for others and to serve others.

I believe that families are the basic foundation of society, that God instituted families to help us in our struggles, and that a successful marriage relationship and strong family brings happiness.

I believe God calls prophets in modern times just as He did in ancient times to guide and direct us, to share His word and will with us.

I believe Joseph Smith was called by God to be His prophet, was inspired to translate the writings of ancient prophets known as "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ", and restored His truths in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

These are my basic beliefs. I strive to live my life each day to adhere to these beliefs. They guide my life and guide my decisions. I feel very blessed to have this guidance because I feel secure that I'm not alone, that God is aware of me personally, and that He has not forgotten us here on earth.
