Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) are getting a lot of attention in the media lately what with the new broadway musical and two GOP presidential candidates. A lot of the talk is fairly humorous, some of it rude or untasteful, but in the end, none of it matters much.
What does matter are things that last. One thing that has always remained constant in my life is the Book of Mormon and the help it gives me as I seek it. While I have a long way to go and many things to improve in my life, this book has always helped me to remember what I can do to increase my own happiness and become a better person. The Book of Mormon teaches the importance of treating others with kindness and being honest. It encourages virtue and moral living. It inspires hope and provides peace to those who read it. I love the Book of Mormon because every page helps me to understand my relationship with Jesus Christ and the importance of following his example. It teaches about the role of repentance in each of our lives and the happiness we can find as we follow the commandments of God. I know that it is true and that it helps me to lead a better life than I would without it.
People can say what they will and choose to think as they want to. That will always be the case. For me, it is all a matter of taking the time to figure out what will last when all of that has come and gone. Read the Book of Mormon for yourself and you be the judge.
