My Faith

I will just start out by saying that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  In other words, I am a Mormon.  Recently, there has been in the news a story about a Mormon woman named Kate Kelly.  She wants to be ordained to the Priesthood like the men in our church.  She has now be excommunicated from our church.  I would like to take a few minutes to explain what I think about all of this. 
My husband holds the priesthood.  My father and grandfather and great-grandfather have all held the priesthood.  What that means is they are given the responsibility to serve and bless others by Gods power.  I have never desired to hold the Priesthood.  Why?  Because I have never felt like I needed to.  I guess I have never felt short changed like Kate does.  I know and firmly believe that I receive just as many blessings because of the Priesthood as these men who hold it.  I am not denied anything.  On the contrary, I am greatly blessed because of their service and love.  I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves us enough to allow the Priesthood to be on the earth again before the Savior returns.  We are all blessed by the Priesthood.  I am sad for Kate.  I really wish that her and her followers could understand this.  It is a powerful feeling to know that women are given a great responsibility of motherhood.  Our bodies create and bear children.  We raise these precious ones and bring them unto God so they can be truly happy.  There isn't anything I want more in life.  I am truly blessed not discriminated against.  Maybe one day she will understand.
