To believe in God is much easier for me than not to believe in God. As I sat and pondered as a young child, pinching my arm and realizing I am "me"....but who am I really, where did I come from and why am I here? were questions that came into my mind. So began my search for the answers to those questions....in finding those answers I found a reason to believe in God. __ My father was CAtholic and my mother was Mormon.....two very opposite religions, hence my parents agreed that neither religion would be taught or practiced in our home. We were not forbidden to attend any other Church, and hence I have attended many of which was the Lutheran Church...very much like the Catholic Church, Baptist, Methodist, .....none of which answered my questions satisfactorily.__ In time I met some friends who were LDS, and who invited me to youth activities in the Church which led to other meetings which began my understanding of the beliefs of the Mormons. My questions were answered adequately and after over 50 years, I continue to ponder and search for further understanding of life's questions. It is vast and consuming!__ Who am I? I am a child of God....His spiritual offspring! Acts 17:28-29__ Where did I come from? I was spiritually begotten in the preexistence.....John 3:13 John 17:3-5 Num. 27:16 Eccl. 12:7 Hebrews 12:9 Revelations 12:7-12__ Why am I here? To reveive a mortal body of flesh and bones
