This site – currently associated with “I’m Just Sayin’ … .” <\/b>will take on an older notion of mine – which I had dubbed at the time … World Wide Mission.<\/b> This piece is my first effort toward this transition. I invite you to return from time to time and see the changes. I aim, after all, for it to be consistent with my own Progression while remaining relevant to the ever growing, ever changing, opposition present in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

For over a decade, I have lacked the boldness to proclaim – right up front – certain aspects of The Restored Gospel when trying to teach and share with others what we have. In fact, this notion comes not from me, but from Elder Jeffrey R Holland [and others].<\/p>\n

In the past, I would testify to the Truth of it all<\/i> by way of what stands before us today – The Church, The Priesthood, The Light that Shines from those sources. “By what we have, what we can see, touch, and feel – can I tell you sure … it’s all true”.[jl]<\/p>\n

That falls short from my view today; my intent was good, my actions correct – and yet, I see my approach lacked a definitive belief or testimony. One which I am only now beginning to organize in preparation to share The Restored Gospel … differently <\/i><\/b>than I did before.<\/p>\n

It makes sense to me today <\/i>to say clearly – up front<\/b> – if you do not, or will not, accept or believe that God has Angels, Messengers and Prophets – and the Power to manifest them even today<\/i><\/b> – then you will not accept this added Truth – The Book of Mormon – given us in these Latter Days (by God).<\/p>\n

This Dispensation, these times, this Church – this Restoration – squarely sits upon the foundation that Joseph Smith, and others – saw, spoke with, and interacted with Angels and even God!<\/b><\/p>\n

I can not run from that any longer!<\/b> Either I believe it … or I don’t.<\/i><\/p>\n

I believed it but could not bring myself to ask others to believe it; …so, I danced around it – testified of what was tangible – and patiently wait(ed) for others to learn for themselves.<\/b><\/p>\n

I am not suggesting the approach was wrong …but it was not exactly complete. My toolbox lacked an important tool, my manual was short a chapter or two.<\/p>\n

Elder Holland was right – is right – for me<\/i>; so no longer will I back away from the very foundation that all of this is built upon. God lives; and He \u00a0[still ]has the power to send Angels, and even show Himself<\/b>, and so can our Savior<\/b> – and They did… or what we have is all a lie<\/b>. [Not my words, but those of Elder Holland, and others, – paraphrased]<\/p>\n

Yes, its bold and surely there is always room to move toward a center of two different ideas. I’ll venture to say that both have merit; both approaches – both ‘tools’ ought be in our tool box.<\/p>\n
