Great News For Me Finally!!!
As many of you know, I am not a member of the LDS Church due to really, Really, REALLY stupid activity on my part. That will soon change.
As of this morning I am cleared to once again enter the waters of baptism and take upon myself the Name of Christ in a covenant with Him. As eloquent as I am (if not humble) I have no words to describe the joy which I feel. I realize how wretched my life had become, but I have worked hard to move beyond my weakness and become a member of the Lord's Church. It will happen soon.
I wish to thank many of you here for the great support and advice you've given me. The baptism will take place within the next couple of weeks, it will be somewhere in the Uintah Basin probably in the Roosevelt area. If any of you are interested in coming, PM me and I'll provide more details when I know them.
Again, my thanks and appreciation to many of you.

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
I know you have been working on this, so it's great to hear you are on the next step.
I'm somewhat close but too far for a day trip.
If better weather sets in I could make it on the motorcycle.

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
That's wonderful! Happy for you~!
Just a thought, keep it simple. Simple gospel from now will keep you safe. Faith, repentance daily, praying, reading the scriptures.
And we are really happy for you. Thank you for telling us!

Bless you for climbing that mountain! The journey is beginning anew! You will have a constant companion on this leg of the journey. Repentance is the only way for each of us.

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
Wonderful news! We just had a rebaptism in my ward. It was such a beautiful experience. You will be able to appreciate this ordinance much differently and more deeply than so many of us. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
I said it on this forum 2 years ago, and this great news of your rebaptism is my confirmation. I knew you were one of His most valiant ones. You made it through hell and the refiner's fire, and now you are coming back to the Lord stronger than ever. Congratulations!

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
skmo,
I am very pleased and proud of you. Well done! Remarkably, well done! What was once a "hole" is now to be made "whole." In a future time and setting, you will be able to draw upon your experiences to counsel, guide and assist in the healing of others. You have "overcome" and your experience in doing so constitutes the attainment of wisdom. God bless you. In those initial days of your exposure on this forum, you would have encountered me with my former identification of "brrgilbert" and an icon consisting of a weigh balance. I am grateful that the wounds have healed and that I could be a witness to the transformation. You give me a great deal of encouragement. My deepest respect and best wishes.

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
My goodness I haven't seen this much unity or this many positive comments about the LDS church here on this forum for I don't know how long. Maybe you need to be re-baptized more often Brother. You know.. like taking one for the team.. lol

Re: Great News For Me Finally!!!
Congratulations! This is wonderful news!
When and where will you be baptized? If you're within an hour or so of me and it isn't during work hours, I'll be there. And I suspect I won't be the only one!
