Personal Stories

How can we develop greater harmony in our homes?

We are trying to do the following in order to have greater harmony in our home but, frankly, I still need more harmony: We go to church together every Sunday, We have Family Home Evening with a lesson and/or treat every Monday, and we read the scriptures and say a family prayer together every night before bed.

How has your knowledge of the Plan of Happiness changed/benefited your life?

The Plan of Happiness has shaped my life in every way because I know that we are here to be tested and return to God. If I didn't believe this, I would waste a lot more time and be a big jerk if I felt like it. I try harder because I believe in the Plan of Happiness.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by going to church every week, reading the scriptures, serving in my church calling, teaching my children the gospel, and having an eternal perspective.

What is the Word of Wisdom that Mormons talk about?

Kacy answered...

The Word of Wisdom is the thing where we don't drink coffee or booze and we don't do drugs or smoke. It's good for your body and it is a way we show obedience.

Mark answered...

The word of wisdom is the Lord's law of health. We abstain from drugs, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and tea, and are encouraged to eat wholesome food and grains, and not eat excessive meat. I am asked all of the time by my fellow residents at the hospital why I don't drink coffee, and how I can stay awake all night on call without it. I don't consider it a sacrifice, though, and am as awake and perform as well as any. It is true that the body will be more healthy when following the word of wisdom, the but the main benefit is spiritual. The knowledge that you are in line with the the Lord's teaching is the most important thing.

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Jessica answered...

No.

The Church has not practiced polygamy since 1890. Any member found to be practicing plural marriage is excommunicated from the Church. We are not affiliated with any group currently practicing polygamy.
