My Personal Feelings

Allow me to rant...a little bit. There is a group(s) of women on facebook who would like women to pray publically in general conference, wear pants to church on Sunday, and hold the Priesthood. I commented on one of their posts. I have Included it here: "Why is this even an issue? I have more important things to do with my time then worry about who prays in general conference or why women don't wear pants to church! Or worry about why women don't hold the Priesthood! Personally, as long as a prayer is said, I could care less about who says it. And I wear a dress to church on Sunday to show reverence and respect for the Lord's holy day! And I don't care who holds the Priesthood. I'm just grateful it's on the earth to bless my life. Life would be dreary and dismal without it!" My intention isn't to offend anyone. I just want to share my feelings and testimony on the issues facing women in the church today.

Pillar of Light

While Caesar Augustus strutted briefly across the stage of history, thinking that it was somehow he who ruled the world, a humble carpenter named Joseph from Nazareth and a virgin named Mary made their way to a quiet village nestled in the limestone hills of Judea. No royal trumpeters heralded the events which followed. There were no purple robes or Crown Jewels, no messengers sent racing through the night to announce the coming of the King of kings. Shepherds were told of the Lord's advent, as were the Magi from the East, but for the most part the world slumbered on, oblivious to the fact that on this night the whole of all eternity was being changed.
