Getting Started

When I read Elder Ballard's article in the July Ensign, I began looking for ways to participate in the online discussion.  It's been a humble effort, but it has produced this blog.  I've had the template laid out for some time while I've been determining how I want to go about keeping it.  In all honesty, I'm still not certain the direction it will ultimately take.  I have determined, however, if I don't start typing it won't take any direction.  With that being said, let me introduce you to my new blog and explain how I see it progressing from here.

 

The title, Moroni 10, comes from one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon.  Not only does it contain Moroni's promise (Vrs 3-5) but it speaks powerfully of Christ and coming unto Him.  Ultimately, that's the goal of this blog, bring people to a closer relationship with Christ.  I have no intention, however, of trying to "prove" anything to anyone.  There are plenty of sites and blogs out there attempting to prove or disprove the merits of one theology over another.  I may provide examples of why I believe a certain way, but that's all it is, an example, not evidence.  However, I will provide some links for those who enjoy apologetics.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and practice my faith according to its tenets and doctrine.  Thus the second part of the blog title, "thoughts and experiences of an LDS guy."  Through sharing some of my own observations and experiences, I hope to provide an example of how LDS beliefs affect my life.
