A Mormon Woman's Reflections on Life and the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Dear Friends,

If we don’t act now, by the end of the week, Vermont could become the first state to adopt same-sex marriage legislatively — without a court order hanging over their heads.

We need two things from you today. It’ll only take about 5 minutes, but your action could make the difference for marriage, not just in Vermont, but in the nation. Once the floodgates open in Vermont, it will be easier for other state legislatures to follow suit.

We need to remind these legislators that their constituents are watching, and that they will be held accountable for their votes. We can’t let them forget that 17 Vermont legislators lost their seats over civil unions in 2000. Urge them to adopt a proposed amendment sending the same-sex marriage bill to the people of Vermont for a vote. Tell them this is too important an issue to ramrod through in just a few days — with no real public debate. (more…)

Glenn contends that we are where Ezra Taft Benson alluded to in a stirring statement regarding the advent and spread of communism, and anti-constitutional policies in the federal government years ago. Please listen

I was reading the other day in the Book of Mormon–a second testament of Christ and account of the former inhabitants of this continent–about the consequences of corrupt laws and trampling under our feet the laws of God to accommodate secular tides of immorality and a relativist claim to libertine rights. My thoughts turned to my experiences recently in Utah at the legislature, opposing the series of bills proposed to move forward the national and international gay agenda in our state, and all that transpired in the wake of those conversations and committee hearings.

I’ll share more of that, but in addition to my reflections there,  my thoughts also turned to how this is happening with acceleration nationally and internationally. I’ve been stopped in my tracks by several decisions and pending decisions that Obama has made in regard to staffing positions, freedom of conscience, abortion, and fairness doctrines. (more…)

Mormons are members of the Lord’s Church, which is called after His name and which the Savior leads and directs through a living prophet: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Mormons (Latter-day Saints) represent 13 million diverse individuals globally who love the Savior and preach His gospel, as He personally taught it while on the earth and then restored it in its fulness. (more…)
