Hi, I'm Rob

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a teacher at a local technical college where I teach classes in Video Production and Editing. In my free time, I love making movies of my family, friends, and my brand new baby boy. I would say that maybe I'm a bit obsessive over this, but it seems as if he is growing so fast and I want to be able to remember as many moments as possible. I love my family, and if I could have it my way, I would spend every moment with them.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born and raised in the Church. My father made a decision before I was born to give up many of his hobbies to join the Church and focus on what was best for his family. I have seen how that decision profoundly affected his life and how it continues to affect mine. My life has been so blessed by my membership in the church. I feel that all of the happiness that I have received in my life can be traced back to my membership in the church. I would say that is a pretty good track record and I am in no hurry to change that.

How I live my faith

My ward is my family, and I think that I would have a hard time moving away from them. In our ward, I am the leader of a group of men. I help them organize various service activities: in fact, in the past year, I would say that I have helped with assisting at least a dozen families as they have moved in and out of our ward. Now while some would see that as a burden, I really love that I can be a part of a support structure for many of my fellow ward members. That's what Jesus Christ would have done, so its what I should be doing.

What are Mormon Temples used for?

Aubree answered...

Temples are used to perform sacred ordinances necessary for salvation. One of these is a temple marriage--making it possible to be together as a family for eternity. Since these ordinances are sacred, only members who are striving to live the gospel may enter. All members are strongly encouraged to become and/or stay worthy to enter the temple. Members also go to the temple to seek guidance, comfort, and personal revelation from God.

They are peaceful, pure places, where only those who have committed to live the most discipled lives can go to ponder and pray. They are places where we learn about God's plan for all of humanity, and where we promise to do all in our power to help all of His children, and receive promises that we can be with Him as well. We wear white clothing that is simple, and remove our watches and bling, to demonstrate a willingness to let go of our day-to-day concerns to focus on the real things: people, and their worth to God.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Christian answered...

Honestly admitting that you have homosexual feelings is often a scary and humiliating process – many are mistreated and must sort through these powerful emotions on their own. You have my deepest admiration and love. Your life is an amazing opportunity to make choices which will bring you peace and fulfillment. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend to you the same invitation that was extended to me: communicate your desires, fears and struggles to your loving Heavenly Father in prayer. Come to church with me! Or any other Mormon friend of yours. Give your burdens to God and trust in His plan for you—one that by design results in your greatest happiness.
And when you go to church on Sunday, know that you are on equal standing with those who do or don't have same-gender attraction. I know that faithful and obedient members of the Church will welcome you and love you.
Just like heterosexual members of our church, it is not a sin to be attracted to someone. However, intimacy is a sacred part of a loving relationship between a husband and wife. We are surrounded by a world of smut and filth which make a mockery of true love. Outside of marriage, the management of our sexual urges, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is to master the greatest power God has given His children on earth -- to create families.
