Quote from Jeff
I love you all so much and want you to know I am doing good. We heard a quote from the AP’s that
¨If you don’t like some thing change it. If you cant change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.¨
That and other things have been my focus this week. Happiness is a choice. It always has been and always will be. I am a lot happier than I have been. Have a great week and a great summer.
Love Jeffrey
After a few sketchy weeks when he first arrive in the country, Jeff seems to be adjusting to his new reality.
I was not prepared for how difficult hearing about his trials and tribulations were going to be for me. But I have felt my Faith being tried a bit as he has shared various challenges with us.
I have a testimony of the Missionary Program of the church and I know that he is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing with his life right now.
I just feel so helpless. When he was little and struggling, I could usually fix whatever was bothering him, but now that he is older, it just feels like I am helpless to know what to do to help.
He broke out in this nasty rash as soon as he arrived…I just wanted to fly down there and fix it with all of my home remedies.
But that is not my job right now. He was able to Baptise a little 8 year old boy and he expressed much joy in being able to help him on his path back to Heavenly Father.
DEFENDING THE FAITH ON THE WEB
This past week I chimed in on a post at Townhall about Mormons. It was a sarcastic and smarmy rehashing of so many falsehoods about the first Prophet of this church I belong to and love. Here is the link: My Apology to Mormon Readers
For taking upon us his name, collectively as a church, and individually every time we partake of the Sacrament?
Mikes post was a literal fulfillment of Prophecy. When Heavenly Father and the Savior visited the boy prophet Joseph Smith they told him that his name would be proclaimed for good and evil all over the planet.
I challenge anyone reading this smarmy, smug, and self righteous post to dig a little deeper into my faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and find out for yourselves exactly what we teach, preach, and tesitfy of Jesus Christ.

As for damning heresy, Mikes post justifies and promotes mormon bigotry and hate.

The triune God gives us love as his creed so had Mr. Adams been nasty, petty and calling for attack he’d have been wrong in this column.
As it is, the only reason he wrote this column is because YOUR loving, compassionate and rational people excoriated him so that he felt the need to reply.
He knew he didn’t need to apologize and yet our Christ tells us to forgive AND to apologize, even when not our fault.
God bless and good luck overcoming your smarmy smugness and self-righteousness
Christians, REAL Christians, have evidence and not just scripture. Countless miracles and countless atheists who have reasoned themselves into conversion makes it understandable why true believers and followers of Christianity can walk among people in the real world and be loving and normal and fun, while praying for their brethren and while themselves aware that there is just too much sin in each of us to spend too much time casting stones at anyone else.
YOU are promoting hatred by insisting that people take offense to it.
