The restored Gospel is life; there is none without it. I have many questions, but take the advice of Pres. Uchtdorf to 'doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.'

January 1976, a few snow-covered LDS missionaries knocked on the door during a snowstorm. I let them in. “FHE” was the push back then and my then-husband consented to have one, but didn’t care to continue with more, but said I could meet with them if I wanted. I studied a few other denominations, read the Catechism (husband then was Catholic), read my Book of Mormon, researched anti literature, asked myriads of questions of the poor devoted, hapless (I had too many questions from never knowing the LDS Church existed beyond my 11th grade American History book 2-3 lines.) missionaries who did all they could to find answers. Finally, on November 6th of that year, I “took the plunge,” relying on an “intellectual testimony” as the spiritual one has been elusive at times, although I remained active always, these many years. I spiritually "revive" at down times when hearing/singing a few “testimony songs” like “I Believe in Christ,” or “Because He Lives.” I don't really have a favorite scripture I can think of at the moment.
