Richard Hayes Its funny...I was here the other day. As I was taking this picture, I had this really nice feeling come over me. I pay a full tithe. Its tough, and Ive always slightly murmured about it!! But at the same time Ive always known that I should. Anyway, I felt so good looking at this beautiful House Of the Lord knowing that I helped pay for it!! Wow!! Not bad coming from a piano/guitar playing, Electronic Engineer, partially nuts, quite unstable, usually happy, Beatles loving, friendly guy whose relatively speaking MITE went toward the building of this beautiful Temple...

July 21, 2013 at 12:06am · Like · 3 Richard Hayes I am so thankful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I belong to his true church. I know I do. I respect all others immensely, but there is only one which has the authority given by Him and is directed by Him. I belong to that church. This immense truth has been burned into my heart, and I will never leave or deny it. I know from the very bottom of my heart that it is true. I hope that I can live up to my own testimony. I have a few weaknesses that I need to overcome, but by in large I think Im doing okay. The most important thing that I can leave behind for my daughters is for them to know that I knew that this church was true. I saw an Angel before I served my mission in Argentina. Ill talk about that another time. But I am here to testify to the world that life goes on after this one for I actually observed it. I am also here to testify to the world that nothing can stop this gospel from sweeping the entire earth. That is my testimony and I will take it to my grave and beyond. So listen up. If you have been searching for the truth, its here. That temple that youre looking at is actually Gods house. I know it is. This truth has been spoken to my heart. May my testimony be written and recorded in Heaven. January 16 at 5:50am · Edited · Like · 2 Richard Hayes One of these days Ill expound upon my ever-growing testimony of the divinity of this marvelous work and a wonder. My eyes have been opened like never before. I am seriously excited about the beauty thereof...there is nothing bigger in this world and I am eternally thankful to know that I belong to the truth. It has been forged in my heart and soul for this life and the next. I will take my knowledge to my grave. I will also do everything in my power to live it to the best of my ability for I know I will someday stand before God and also His beautiful Son whom I love. I want more than anything else to be loved and accepted by Him. The day that he calls me His friend is when I know I will have arrived. Thats the essence of my existence right there. When he says well done my good and faithful servant. I can only dream of the day when I can stand blameless in His presence having been forgiven for all that I have done wrong. When I can look Him in the eye with confidence and know that He knows that my testimony of Him is more important to me than my own existence. When He can no longer hide His face from me because of my faith in Him. Nothing else matters and nothing else is as beautiful as this possible and very real potential future which all of us can actually have. May my words be recorded in Heaven as we speak.

March 14 at 9:18pm · Unlike · 1 Richard Hayes My goal in life is to absolutely obey all of Gods commandments and live in exact accordance with how He would have me live and conduct myself at all times. However...I realize I cant do it alone and I need two people!!! Guess who they are!!!? The Savior (duh-- obviously) and my wife. Wow. Hows that for a realization. Its the actual truth. I seriously cant do it without Him and definitely cant do it without Her!!! 22 minutes ago · Edited · Like Richard Hayes Lessons to me from me: NEVER apologize for what you believe. Never awkwardly entertain a predator by casting your pearls before him. Never apologize for how you feel about anything or anyone. Keep in mind at all times however to be gentle and kind and considerate of all especially those who may believe differently than you but never cower in any way because of their opposition. Be true to yourself. Never deny who you are. EVER!! Click here to Reply
