Because we, the members of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
don't believe in the Nicene Creed we are deemed
by some folks as not being Christian.
In other words we believe that
God is our Heavenly Father,
He has a body and we are made in his image.
and is one with the Father in purpose,
not in body.
The Holy Ghost is also a separate being.

Having been raised in one of the "other" Christian Churches,
that believe in the Nicene Creed,
I asked my Momma
what God looked like.
She said that I should think of Him as a big head floating
and listening to my prayers and that
He could be everywhere.
He could be everywhere.
As a little tiny girl my teachings of
Jesus Christ was much easier to understand.
Jesus came to the earth and was born of Virgin Mary
and He loved me and He walked the earth
just like me and he was good and kind
and He truly loved little children.
He said we would go to Heaven if we were good like He was
and if "we were as a little child".
I loved Him so much and many times
I felt Him with me.
I felt Him with me.
The Holy Ghost scared me at first because ghosts were
scary to little girls.
scary to little girls.
In fact my little friend Sally Jo was saying her prayers one night
at my Nana Pills' house and she ended her prayer...
"In the name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost".
"In the name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost".
Well that did it for those two little one's
and my Nana had to sleep with us to get us to calm down.
Children are so Dear you know.

Grammy T, I also posted in response to the stuff on the news lately about the church...enjoyed this post very much !!!
I will look forward to the continued. I think it is so sad that we are not thought of as Christians. Being a blog missionary is a good endeavor.
Blessings to you and keep on enjoying your adventures.
Thanks for sharing your testimony. I don't understand why this is so difficult for others to understand even if they don't believe the same as we do.
