Hi, I'm Glenn

I am a father and a husband. I am an attorney. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I enjoy camping in the mountains and running. I served 8 years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and part-time in the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard for 20 years. I love my country. I have deployed to Afghantistan, Kuwait and other places in defense of our country.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I have read the Book of Mormon and know by the unspeakable power of the Holy Ghost that it is true. I know that the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth. As I have lived according to its glorious principles, I have tasted of the sweetness of its fruits. I am a Mormon because I know that God speaks today, as he did in ancient times, to living prophets. As I followed the counsel of his living prophets, I have been blessed and protected. I am a Mormon because God's authority has been restored in these last days in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, including the priesthood power to seal families together forever.

Personal Stories

How has the Holy Ghost helped you?

The Holy Ghost is the Comforter. When my baby son passed away, the Comforter brought peace to my heart. The Holy Ghost has warned me of physical and spiritual danger, and thereby kept me safe. It has affirmed to me when I have heard or read truth. It testifies to me that Jesus Christ is my Reedemer and Savior, my Lord and my King.

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

The knowledge of God's Plan of Happiness that has been restored through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has made all the difference in my life. It gives meaning and purpose to my life. It tells me I am a beloved spirit child of God. It tells me that I lived with Him before I came to this earth. It tells me that I am here to learn to live by faith and to be obedient to God, and to follow the example of His Son Jesus Christ. It tells me that as I do so, through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I can return and live with God in His Kingdom forever. This knowledge has given me strength to endure life's greatest challenges, including the loss to death of my child and of my parents. It whispers peace to my heart and gives me hope for the eternities.

How has attending Church services helped you?

When I attend Church services, I am helped by the opportunity to renew my covenants with God by partaking of the Sacrament. When I attend Church services, I feel the Spirit of God, which testifies of truth and brings peace to my heart. It gives me strength to deal with the challenges of the week ahead. It helps me to feel more humble and makes me want to be a better follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

How has the Book of Mormon brought you closer to God?

As Isaiah prophesied, the Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit. Its words of truth bring light into my life, and peace and hope. I feel closer to God as I read and follow the teachings of this inspired book of scripture.

How I live my faith

I strive to live to serve others, beginning first with my wife and children. I lead a group of men in my local congregation in serving them, their families, and the widows in our congregation. I strive to be completely honest in all my business dealings.

Mormons believe Jesus Christ is their Savior. Why do we need a Savior?

Glenn answered...

We need a Savior because all men sin and become unclean. No unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God. So, without a Savior, none of us could return home to our Father in Heaven and enter into His Kingdom. But, through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, if we repent and obey the Savior's direction to be baptized, we can become clean again, and return home to our Father in Heaven.

Have you ever met a perfect person? I doubt it. Why? Because everyone makes mistakes. When you make a mistake or are confused on what you should do, you want someone to help you, right? We all need someone to help us. We all need a Savior. We always hear that Jesus Christ saved us, but what does that truly mean? It not only means that he suffered and died for you personally, it means that he lived and lives for us too. He wants to help us. Jesus Christ is the only one who underestands everything that we go through. He not only wants to make up for the mistakes we make, but he wants to carry our burdens too. All we need to do is let him carry our burdens. Everyone faces personal challenges and Jesus is there to help. Everyone makes a mistake qa some point in life too. The beauty of having a Savior, is the fact that we can be forgiven. Sometimes our hands get dirty, but they can always be washed clean.

Are all Mormons required to serve a mission?

Austin. answered...

No. Every worthy young man is expected to serve a mission, though there is no punishment for not doing so. Also, not every young man is physically or mentally capable, so there are circumstances where a young man may be excused from service. Young women may also serve missions, but are not expected to do so.

Serving a mission means a full-time commitment, leaving family and friends to preach the gospel in a place assigned by the Church.

I served my mission in Los Angeles, California.

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.
