Here comes the sun...

And I say, "It's alright."

After what seems like the longest period of rainy weather I've ever experienced in my lifetime the sun has finally come out and this is just being one of those perfect Spring days. Everyone's mood is happy and tempers so short only days ago appear to have been put away with winter coats. It looks like everyone is wearing shorts. Girls are decked out in their best, Daisy Dukes, halter tops bursting with the first fruits of Spring and it's a reminder that Summer and bikinis are just around the corner. I was beginning to think we'd never see the end of the rains in, Dayton, Ohio. It is a day that rejuvenates the spirit and invigorates the soul. It is the nicest day since my divorce and God knows I've needed it. I'm feeling alive again.

This is the kind of day that reminds us that no matter how dark a period we've been through, there are indeed brighter days to come. Yes, I've needed this day for months now and I'm feeling better spiritually than I have in many months. I don't even care that it's supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow morning. I'm enjoying the moment right now. I haven't done that in a long time either. Life is good right now, who could ask for more?

I hope, Micah, is outside playing and enjoying this day. I hope you are too...

That's all I've got to say this beautiful afternoon. I hope the sun is shinning wherever you are and I hope your spirits are basking in the warmth of it's rays. Get outside and enjoy it if you haven't done so already. You'll be glad you did...

And the truth shall set you free...

The father of all lies, Joseph Smith.

My dearest, Micah. I know that your mother is currently raising you up in the LDS church and at this point in your life you have little control over the ideas she's exposing you to and presenting as fact. Your mother is not always correct and simply because she believes something is true does not always mean that she's correct in her assumptions.

Question your mother's belief systems before accepting them as fact. Think for yourself and develop your own belief systems. Your mother is a member of a religious cult. She is deluded and blind to any criticism of what she believes to be true. Don't repeat her mistake. I've compiled a list of websites exposing the fallacies of the LDS church for you. Visit them and you'll learn the truth of the LDS church. It isn't pretty...

1. Joseph Smith, huckster and fraud.

2. Errors of Mormonism.

3. Real Mormon History.

4. Junk scripture.

5. Exposing the deceptions.

6. Mormons who walked away.

Books that disprove the infallibility of the prophets.

1. The Salamander Papers.

False Prophecies.

1. The most grievous error.

My belief...

Micah, I may not know the whole truth about, God, or fully understand his nature or purpose for us, but I do know for a certainty that, Joseph Smith, was a fraud and that the church built upon his fantasies of metal plates and the angel, Moroni, are completely in error. Study for yourself and you'll come to learn the truth for yourself. Don't follow in your mother's misguided footsteps...

Happy Birthday, Micah!

Happy Fourth Birthday!

I'm sorry I can't be with you today, but I just wanted you to know that I love you.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hug your momma for me.

I love you!
