An awkward apology...

First let me say, I know I don't communicate very well...

Today, I think I offended a few people at church. We were talking about the Pre-existence and the question was asked how knowing that we lived before effects our life now...I carefully thought about it and rasied my hand and said, "For me it doesn't."

I'm not sure how that was taken but, it may have been the wrong way and I feel like I should explain my answer. I think that the knowledge of the Pre-existence is fantastic information to know. I also think that for some it explains so much about the choices they made of the circumstances they have been placed into in mortality and in no way, was did I mean to belittle that knowledge. But FOR ME, know those things doesn't change how I live my life now. Why? Because, I knowing that isn't going to save me...it's what I do here in mortality that will decide what happens to me.

I think again FOR ME, the fact that I was valiant in the Pre-existence and made the choice to follow the Plan of Salvation and gain a mortal body was just a step in a long process. It's time to prove myself in this phase.
