ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The author is anonymous. The reason why I chose to remain anonymous is because I adore the scripture stories where the person’s name is left out, like the Woman at the Well whom Jesus taught and King Lamoni’s father in the Book of Mormon who experienced such a mighty change of heart that it literally floored him for days. Everyone thought he was dead except his wife knew better.
The reason why I love the anonymously-named stories is because what it personally means to me is that those stories apply to all of us. The name could be ours. Anyone can have a mighty change of heart and special witness of Jesus Christ; having their nature changed from fallen to divine. I think of this as Becoming inside out because I believe divine nature is at the core of all of us. Becoming one with God and singing the Song of Redeeming Love isn't just available to church leaders like Prophets/apostles, it's available to all.
I have seen very beautiful places from Moscow’s Red Square to Costa Rica’s volcano and beach. I’ve lived in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Utah and Russia. I’ve seen Arizona’s Grand Canyon; Utah’s Arches, Goblin Valley, Zion’s; California’s Yosemite Falls and Redwoods. I’ve hiked Mount Timpanogos and backpacked the high Uintas and Tetons. I’ve been in Utah’s Nutty Putty Cave and Arizona’s Agua Caliente cave among others. I’ve visited Niagara Falls and the Washington D.C. presidential monuments and museums. I am extremely lucky and grateful for all these amazing experiences. And yet, these all pale in comparison to what I’m most grateful for: the love and beauty I’ve felt in the beautiful temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints while participating in sacred priesthood ordinances to make and keep sacred covenants with God. And in the personal temples of private and family prayer and scripture study from the Book of Mormon, Bible, etc., which answers come into my life in new, exciting, infinite ways bringing indescribable peace, love and joy forever.
If you would like to make and keep sacred covenants with God and receive your priesthood ordinances of baptism, laying on of hands and sealing your family together forever, please contact the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints at mormon.org/chat
