Meet the Mormons

I saw the movie Meet the Mormons tonight. 

It was beautiful and uplifting and I cried a lot. 

Tears, because the people's stories were so rich in all the things that make life so….. life like. 

The theater was full because I live in the heart of Mormondom and we support our own. 

Everyone clapped at the end and I wasn't the only crier. My kids loved it. Especially my10 year old son Luke. Even my 7 year old twins watched it and only asked me once, "Is this the movie?" It wasn't an animated kid movie like they are used to seeing so they were a bit puzzled. 

I've been wanting to blog about General Conference too.

(Mormon is a nick name, The full name or our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints)

I'm very Mormon.

That means I'm very Christian. 

That means I love Jesus Christ more than anything else and I am trying to pattern my life after him every moment of everyday….moment to moment….I try to live so I can feel him by my side, because that's the kind of friend He is you know. He will stay by your side. He will be with you and let you feel his kind and loving presence. If I for some reason lose that feeling of Him beside me it is because I walked away, not Him.  He would never. I usually walk away because I'm mad at my kids for being slobs or doing something exasperating when I'm tired and I've tried all day. I'll lose my temper or be really sarcastic and ungrateful in the way I think or act. That is when I feel the wretched hollow that always follows when I have stepped away from God in my thoughts or actions. 

Go see Meet The Mormons. It will feed you and fill you up.

It is lovely and interesting and a picture of what really can happen in a persons life when they allow Jesus Christ to be their friend and guide. 

He is the best friend we will ever have. 

If you haven't "met" him, Go seeking. Don't stop seeking until you find.
