Since then I have been reading one of the books he referenced and more of his posts and other blogs referenced. I feel like things are starting to make a lot more sense. I am studying the scriptures much better and learning and understanding things better. I absolutely love the gospel. I just read another of his posts about how the word church is used differently in different contexts.
Anyway, I feel like I have my religion back, and that I can be a Mormon and believe what I feel is best and follow the Book of Mormon literally and not do every program and activity "encouraged" by the corporate church and still be right with God. I don't have to leave the church or feel uncomfortable there. I can feel the Spirit and take the good and ignore the bad and not participate when I don't feel good about it. I can follow the Holy Ghost in my life even when it seems to go against "the corporate church" or my leaders. The Lord knows what is best for me and He will guide me. I don't have to go throughh anybody else, I can ask and seek for answers from God and He has, does and will continue to answer me. I am truly grateful.
