[Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

[Jenny Keller]

I don't, I am a member of the LDS, Latter day Saint, Mormon, church and they are very inclusive of all disabilities.  

I am able to do anything anyone else can do, and that makes me know that I am loved and appreciated.

It also makes me feel as though I have worth in my church.

There is nothing like it in the world in which we live today.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't let any pastor, or any one stop you from serving in the church because your blind. I'm five almost four courses away from having my doctor of theology. RJ

>> I now know that's not at all the case, but both things made it difficult to want to go to church and believe in a loving Heavenly Father again.  It took a long time to have a strong relationship with him, and to find the right church, that in my belief, teaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It took me from the age of 16 till I was 35 to find where I truly belonged in his earthly kingdom.

>> I know what it was like to have no belief in Heavenly Father at all for a while, and it was the hardest time of my life.  I feel truly and painfully sorry for those who have no faith in Heavenly Father, and his love for them.
