Hello from Herriman

Hello,
I am a happy husband and proud father of three wonderful children. I've worked in architecture for 14 years, and before that I was in home construction. I enjoy time with my family, the great outdoors here in Utah and beyond and studying material like I've discovered on this wonderful forum. I am excited to participate.
I have read the posts on this forum for a few weeks now. It has capped off an awakening of sorts for me. I 'awoke' and started really using my faculties just last year. 9/11 Truth was my wake-up call. I stumbled upon a documentary and I've been an active student ever since. And I must say, God bless Professor Jones and all the other good people shining light on the tragic events of 9/11. I believe it is a defining issue of our time and I know many are waking up to the truth. I am a proud member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and although it is a difficult issue to address, I try to raise awareness with everyone I know.
It has been a road of discovery and at every turn I feel like standing on the mountaintops and hollering for all to hear. You know when you have something you feel compelled by and feel and know it's the truth, and you just want to share it?
In this past year, I have been through all sorts of emotions...from fear to anger and sadness etc. The emotions of fear are natural I know and like anger, can be utilized as an empowering tool. But it can be consuming and weaken the soul. I've felt fear over the last year like never before. The fear of the unknown is destructive. It seems to help me to study and learn (to know), then try and inform people (empower). Gordon B. Hinckley saying, “If Ye Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear,” has resonated and we are preparing, finally.
I've learned not to trust all the info that out there, be it TV, internet, radio, newspaper, magazines, liars or false prophets etc and that we must seek the truth for ourselves to find proper, accountable and researched material, then we must use our critical thinking skills. Then, our minds eye...our instincts, our inner spirit should play a role too.
The dots have started connecting for me more recently. I have now seen that there is evil in our world. The gospel I learned as a youth has compelled me and a strong feeling that we are indeed in the latter days and an inner sense and need of gospel and spirituality and closeness to God and our Savior have overwhelmed me and compelled me beyond anything I've ever felt.
It has been nearly 20 years since I accepted the Gospel and attended Church. This past Sunday, with emotion swelling up in me and a feeling that the holy spirit was guiding me, I took my family to our local Ward. It was amazing. I am overwhelmed with it all and it felt so right. As I said to all the good folks that welcomed us, it is very good to be back.
