They are in such stark contrast to todays 'testimony is found in the baring of it' teachings.Chris Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107791774450498377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476570074323535641.post-5115413554187661502008-08-14T14:24:00.000-07:002008-08-14T14:24:00.000-07:00This made me think yet again of all the reasons I...This made me think yet again of all the reasons I love our new(er) ward. It is an eclectic mix of people coming from so many places -- physically, yes, but that's not what I'm speaking of. <BR/><BR/> I think that over half are converts or those who stopped coming in their youth, and have come back. These are people who have lived life as I'd not seen it really before. It is the most refreshing thing in the world to hear the different ideas and viewpoints, but coming back to the reality of the truthfulness of the GOSPEL. Not of the church culture. But the gospel. People with worlds of experiences but have been touched by the Spirit. That's not to say that when certain people get up to bear their testimony there isn't a collective holding of breath, especially if you have an investigator with you! But it really is wonderful to feel the "this is so true" feeling each week as you sit by someone different each week and see it through their new eyes, and listen to how they perceive what you used to think was understood. Did that make sense?? It did in my own mind! Sometimes it just doesn't translate.shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13502634959386998985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476570074323535641.post-24123222627135942922008-08-13T00:28:00.000-07:002008-08-13T00:28:00.000-07:00both of those are so beautiful!
