About Me

I'm a retired engineer who has loved to ride my horses, camp, hunt and fish plus I like to make hardwood trees into furniture. I do everything from cutting down the trees to finished products. I think the best part of retirement is having six Saturdays a week to possibly visit with my kids/grandkids.
I've always enjoyed helping people -- Maybe that is why I enjoyed my profession of utility engineer/supervisor. I always tried to provide service to new homes and businesses when or before people wanted, to improve facilities so power stayed on and was very reliable, to help restore power when things failed such as in big storms. It was a satisfying career, and now I continue by helping people in other ways.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born in the Church. Being a logical person, I was always amazed at how the gospel answered all my questions and more. But the real reason is the answers I have received to so many prayers and the inner peace I feel in that I'm doing what I should.

How I live my faith

I like to read scriptures and church leaders messages, pray, attend church, and help my family and others. I now serve as the leader for 11 year old scouts. Being a boy scout leader for many years has been very rewarding to watch them develop into great young men.

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Marc (Bo) answered...

Absolutely not!! This is one of the many myths about Mormon's that hollywood and the media continue to propogate. It is true that the early memebrs of the church did practice polygamy, but the church oficcialy denounced the practice 150 years ago!! If any church member today practices polygamy they are excommunicated. There are people who leave the LDS church and start their own religion base loosely on LDS beliefs. Some of them practice polygamy. They are NOT memebrs of the LDS (Mormon) chruch, nor do they have any affiliation with the LDS church.
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.

What is faith?

Zen answered...

Of all the definitions of faith I have read or heard, I add the simplest and most complete to me, which is the Love of Christ. I cannot think of a better way to describe faith. Love of Christ is the substance of hope in something evident we can not see with earthly eyes. It is the faith in Christ or the love of Christ that enabled Able to make a more perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 11:4). That love is why we believe in Christ, it is why we have grace, it is why we have works, it is why we have belief, it is why we have hope, it is why we have charity, it is the very essence of faith, and faith is the very essence of the Love of Christ

Perfect knowledge is worthless without faith. For instance, most of us have perfect knowledge that applying a pointed pencil to paper will cause a mark. That knowledge will not make a mark if we do not exercise the elements of faith called works (picking up the pencil, applying it to the paper, and making a mark), belief (that doing so will make a mark), and hope (that it actually will make a mark). It is my desire that you would exercise works to find out about Christ and study Him, that you would believe on His words and His life and His sacrifice, and that you would hope that He would have an effect in your life. If you exercise this faith, you will truly come unto Him.
