Recently the question has come up about "Mormons" being Christians. Well, as far as I know the word Christian means- someone who believes in Christ. Well, as you can see the actual name of the church is... The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. If you want to know what we believe go to www.mormon.org.
Also, I would like to add our 13 Articles of Faith!
1) We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2) We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3) We believe that through the Atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
4) We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5) We believe that a man must be called of God by prophesy and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer the ordinances thereof.
6) We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists and so forth.
7) We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues and so forth.
8) We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9) We believe all that God has revealed all that He does now reveal and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important thing pertaining to the kingdom of God.
10) We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11) We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12) We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13) We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything lovely virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
I will end with my testimony.
I know the Church of Jesus Christ to be a CHRISTIAN CHURCH! I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know that President Thomas S. Monson is a man called of God to reveal to us God's will for our day. I know each of these articles of faith are true and I live my life by them. I know Christ laid down his life for us so that we might be saved and have eternal life. I know that I am able to CHOOSE my own destiny! I know God's plan and I will follow Him in faith! Again, if you have Any questions about my religion go to www.mormon.org

For the Man I adore!
Since I am not married this will be very easy to figure out who this post will be about! He is quite possibly the greatest man in my life and the man I do one day marry will definitely have to meet his approval! I of course am talking about my Father!
Many may not know the whole story of how 24 years ago I came into this world... On May 10, 1987 my mom hit my father and said that I was coming now! The police arrived just in time, but the ambulance was lost. My dear father delivered me into this world with much of the Denham Springs Police Department surrounding. My father was truly the first one to ever see me, to ever hold me, and to ever love me in my mortal state!
2 weekends ago I was very sick and my dad took amazing care of me. I missed my first day of work on the 19th of September and my Dad took care of me almost every second. I ended up having 2 fevers within 24 hours and my dad got me ice cold water to help my temperature decrease! He is such an amazing example to me! I hope to one day marry someone that will be the Father to my children like my Father has been to me! Now, to end this is the one song that reminds my Daddy so much of me! :-D I love him!
