This I Know

In the book club I belong to we are reading a book called "The Language of God" by Francis Collins I think.. (sorry the book is not by me :)
I am so terrible about actually reading the books lately, that one of my sweet friends actually got the book for me this time. So, I have been reading. It is really insightful. It is a Scientist's proof that God does exist.
A leading Geneticist (spelling?) writes about his journey from Atheist to a Faithful Believer in God. I have always been sure of my faith in the Lord and Jesus Christ. I have always been sure of my testimony of the LDS church. I have always been sure of my testimony of the Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon. These things are as real to me as the air that I breathe.
It was interesting though to see that it is harder to disprove God's existence then to prove that he does exist. There are so many answers that Science cannot explain. So many people want Evidence. If we have EVIDENCE than we would have no need for Faith. I don't need any evidence... but it is refreshing to see that such a brilliant man would take time to write this information down. I am just in the beginning stages of the book, but it is very cool.
I can't imagine not having the knowledge that I have. I know who I am. I know where I came from. I know where I am going when I die.. I know Heavenly Father loves me and my family.. and each of us are his Children. I can't imagine the pain our Father in Heaven feels when we think we can live our life happily without him in it. I can't imagine a life where he isn't the center of my life, my home and my family.
I am looking forward to 2010! I am looking forward to growing and becoming a better person each passing year!
So, these were the things on my mind tonight.. pretty deep huh:)
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
