We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints {aka LDS or Mormon}. In a society where most morals are becoming less and less commonplace, we might seem a little out of the norm. Let me reassure you that any strangeness we my have is a direct result of being Clint and Tiffany, and not always because we're Mormon. It really just depends on what your definitions of "normal" and "odd" are! :O) Yes, we dance and watch movies. Yes, we drink caffeinated soda {shocker, eh? Sorry, I can't give up my A&W Cream Soda!}. Yes, we wear multiple layers when it's 115* plus outside. And yes, we know that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
I know there's a lot of not-so-great literature out there about the LDS faith, and I know there are a lot of not-so-great LDS members out there giving off a not-so-great impression of who we are. We, as members of the church, are all different. Personally, Clint and I tend to follow the spirit of the law which may mean that we're not as perfect as others, but we're happy and so it works for us in this stage of our lives. We love the gospel and the peace it brings into our lives and in our home. Without it, there would be a lot more pain lingering from some of the more difficult curve balls thrown our way throughout our lives. We are grateful for the power of repentance through the Atonement, and the joy that comes with forgiveness.
We are Mormon. Members of the LDS church. Parents. Friends. Family. We love who we are and wouldn't change that part of our lives for any measure of what else is out there.
That's our simple tout to the church. :O) If you want to learn more, visit the LDS homepage or Mormon.org.
