Hi, I'm David

I'm a public speaker, trainer, author and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

After a 35 year career in information technology, I now keep busy as a public speaker and author. I speak about leadership, communication, and writing. I have ten published books and am working number eleven. I love my life.

Why I am a Mormon

As a child of the sixties, I searched for peace and love. I found that the promise of peace and love coming from drugs, free love, and rebellion was a lie.
I'm grateful that I learned that before I got too involved in such things.
I hitchhiked around the United States from coast to coast searching for the truth.
I found it with my sweetheart in 1972 when we hitchhiked through Provo, UT.
For nearly forty years we've lived rich lives filled with the real peace and love.
I'm so grateful.

How I live my faith

One of the questions I originally prayed as I began my search was, "I want to know how to serve you, but I don't know how. Please show me."
My heart was ready for the answer.
I've loved my life of service in the Church. Currently I help people in an inner-city congregation find meaningful work. I love it. I also lead the Sunday School teachers.
The blessings of service without expectation of return is so rewarding.

What is being a Mormon like?

Melinda answered...

I think of it as my life style not just my religion. The church is set up to support you and nurture your spiritual growth. That growth comes from involvement with church activities and supporting others. We look out for each other, not just physically but spiritually as well.

Many people think that being a Mormon is very strict and holds people back from experiencing all that life has to offer. However, I know that it is the exact opposite. In The Book of Mormon, an ancient governor named Pahoran tells us that the spirit of God is the spirit of freedom. I know this principle to be true. The things of the world bind us with feelings of guilt, sorrow, envy, hatred, doubt, judgment, chaos, and confusion. The things of God bring peace, contentment, happiness, joy, satisfaction, clarity, and love. Through family relationships, The Book of Mormon, communication with a loving Father in Heaven, repentance, baptism, church attendance, and making sacred promises in God's holy temple, I have experienced these feelings of freedom. Being a Mormon is not just something I do, it is who I am! Mormonism is not just a belief, it is a lifestyle. This lifestyle has provided me with clarity, purpose, value, and direction. I will forever proclaim the truthfulness of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! It is Christ's true church upon the earth. It is the pathway to true joy in this life and the life to come!

Why do Mormons baptize their new members?

Gary T. answered...

We follow the example of Jesus Christ, who was baptized by immersion by John the Baptist. Being baptized is a symbol of faith, as it represents the burying of old sins, old ways and old habits, and taking on the name of Jesus Christ. We are "buried" in the water, which represents the environment of the past, and therefore we must be lifted up in order to survive. That lifting up represents our being lifted up by Christ, out of the past, and into the great promises and blessings of being one with Christ. When we come out of the water, we are symbolically a new person in Christ.

Joseph Smith

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
