But perfect. Thank you. <br />I'm just so completely happy to bask in your earnest endeavors to hold to the rod. <br />As trite as that sounds. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-1313842314793259922013-05-06T09:09:13.187-07:002013-05-06T09:09:13.187-07:00I found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I am b...I found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I am blessed because of it. There have been several times that your thoughts gave me new perspective and made me think deeper about a subject or reaffirm what I had previously been thinking. Your courage in addressing controversial subjects in culture and the Gospel with your own personal thoughts is inspiring. The faith and hope you share through your positive outlook on life and God is an ideal I strive for. I just wanted to say thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496261060447162479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-27182539200693131862013-05-05T17:53:35.594-07:002013-05-05T17:53:35.594-07:00Yoy are right, there is a wide gamut of Priesthood...Yoy are right, there is a wide gamut of Priesthood Leader responses to the repentant soul. I have experienced both extremes. I had a Bishop who blessed my life with his kindness and love so much that I still (25 yrs later) think of him with deep love, appreciation, and regard, "because he first love" me. (He died of cancer--age 48--a couple of years after I visited with him). On the other hand I had an experience with a Stake President who treated me with absolute distain--both by his actions and by what I felt from him. I left our first visit emotionally conflicted. Determined to submit to Lord's Priesthood authority I continued our visits. He later appologized (after visiting with his Priesthood Leaders) and even said he admired my effort to bring my life into harmony with my beliefs.<br />Like all of us they are human. Perhaps I will email you directly with more details if you have an interest. Thanks for your blog.<br /><br />Dave Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
