Why the "Lighthouse"?

     
           Some of you may ask, why would you call your blog the Lighthouse?  I was trying to be metaphorical. Allow me to explain. We are all like ships on the sea, sometimes we have storms we have to ride and other times life is a little more smooth sailing. There are times in everyone's life when they
feel lost, or feel like they don’t know where to turn for peace.

The comfort a lighthouse brings to a weary sailor is the same kind of comfort I would like to bring to those who may be riding there own storms in life, or just need somewhere to turn for peace and relief. I don't want
this to sound like I am the source of peace or comfort, let me make it clear that I am not – nor is this blog.  But the Gospel of Jesus Christ
is!  Our Lord and Savior is the ultimate source of love, peace, temperance, long suffering, forgiveness and lasting happiness (key to that phrase is the word "lasting").

We ALL make mistakes in this life, and mistakes, at one point or another, will bring us guilt, shame and move us away from God, our Father. But there is hope, we can repent and change ourselves, our thoughts and actions. We can always try to be better. And the best part is that we will be forgiven if we truly repent. That fact brings me so much happiness and comfort.

I want to spread that happiness and comfort to everyone I come in contact with! Through Christ we can be saved, if we allow him to.  Just like the ship that heeds the warnings that come from the lighthouse – we too can find safety.

Pleas feel free to comment or ask questions! I am open to suggestions on
what to write about. Also feel free to look at my Facebook Page Elder Logan Raban.

I love the Lord and his restored Gospel!

Thank you for reading!
