As a rebellious post-teenager, I left home thinking the world had to be better than my parent's religious views. However, my mother visited me with a Book of Mormon and instructions to read and pray it! With a terrible attitude, I did. Later, on my knees, I asked the Lord to tell me the book was NOT true. His shocking answer, "It's true!" I continued, "It can't be! Tell me it's NOT true" ... three times the spirit whispered, "It's true!!" ...and I added, "What do you want me to do about it?" The reply, "Go back to church!" Though reluctant, I did as directed -- and that has made all the difference in my devoted life.
