Political Participation, Voting, and the Political Neutrality of the Church

As citizens we have the privilege and duty of electing office holders and influencing public policy. Participation in the political process affects our communities and nation today and in the future.

Latter-day Saints as citizens are to seek out and then uphold leaders who will act with integrity and are wise, good, and honest. Principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties.

Therefore, in this election year, we urge you to register to vote, to study the issues and candidates carefully and prayerfully, and then to vote for and actively support those you believe will most nearly carry out your ideas of good government.

The Church affirms its neutrality regarding political parties, platforms, and candidates. The Church also affirms its constitutional right of expression on political and social issues.

Sincerely yours,

Thomas S. Monson
Henry B. Eyring
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The First Presidency

Interesting...
Maybe more of us will THINK before we actually vote this year!

So Feeling this!

So I know it has been awhile since I have updated this darn thing....

But right now, I just don't have the time/mentality to post! Plus nada has been going on!

BUT..... I have been pondering these good old Articles of Faith... especially since it's getting to be that time of year again.... Let us all ponder these the next time we try to convince someone who is right and who is wrong....


Articles of Faith 11-12
11 We claim the ^aprivilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the ^bdictates of our own ^cconscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them ^dworship how, where, or what they may.

12 We believe in being ^asubject to ^bkings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in ^cobeying, honoring, and sustaining the ^dlaw.


Remember, we are all given free agency, NO ONE can tell us who, what, or how to believe. We should also remember that WE should never tell someone else who, what, or how they should believe as well!

Ah, the joy of Free Agency!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Happy Saturday!!!

Apparently I've been Tagged....

Ok.... I've been TAGGED!

But First.... Here's who I tagged... EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! HA!


Camille's Not So Random Randomness:

1. I have this huge desire to be at the Temple everyday, every minute, every hour... But can never seem to find the time to do it daily. Once a week is usually what Mike and I can do. But with me staying home now I should have ALOT more time to be at the temple... Darn life! Darn Cleaning my house! Darn Laundry! It's Temple Time!

2.I really want to re-decorate our bedroom. We need a new bed, mattress, night stands, and I need to get something for our sitting area... but what looks nice in a bedroom sitting area?


3. I want to start making Baby Clips... The ones with the Flowers.. ya know? I made like 10 already.. they are way cute.... If you have a baby.. wanna buy some? lol

4. I am obsessed with Super Smash Brothers, on the Wii. I mean I even play when Mike isn't home. (Refer back to #1... I found the answer as to Why I can't!) Anyone want to join me? Come on over!!!!!!!!


5. I Love being able to stay home. Finally my house is in order, my life is stress free, and I am actually a MORE pleasant person. Now the only thing that would make staying home worth it, would be if I had to do it because of a Child... Hmmmm...... Where can I find a Child???


6.We are all the way done with our Adoption paperwork... It's sitting on my desk... just sitting there. I dunno why we haven't mailed it in yet... Maybe I'm scared to actually go thru all of this and potentially never get a child... or maybe I keep hoping I will juat magically one day get pregnant!... Pray for Us.... lol


7. I have one amazing husband. He is always so thoughtful and caring! I don't know what I would do with out him! He has to work all day in the Hot Hot Heat. And then Comes home and Picks up the Doggy poo! What a Lucky woman I am to be married to this funny, handsome, caring, thoughtful, silly, brave, strong, spiritual, loving....... MAN!!!!!!!!

8. I want to have a party at my house.... anyone interested?
