My name is Lance, and I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. I attended the methodist church growing up, but did not feel that it was the right church for me. When I was sixteen, I joined the Mormon church, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was baptized in the Atlantic ocean, just after sunrise. I will ever be grateful that I found the church, and came to know Christ. I am almost thirty years old now. I am married, have three children, and have returned to school to get my Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am starting this blog in response to the increase in media attention on the church since Mitt Romney began to run for president. This is not intended to be a Vote for Mitt site, but one in which I can help clarify some misunderstandings that are propagated by the ignorant and malicious. I will refer you to my church's official site, lds.org or mormon.org, for official church information. Knowing that no site can answer all questions, I will endeavor to make this site one for responding to the frequent misunderstandings, as well as answering questions posted on the blog. Please feel free to ask any questions you feel relevant. I ask that you keep your questions respectful and I will try to do the same with my responses. Thank you for your interest in my blog.
