Hi I'm Remington
I'm a Writer, DND and Video Gamer. Fan of the worlds of science and magic, and I'm a Latter Day Saint (AKA Mormon)
About Me
I'm a six foot seven teddy bear according to all of my friends. And no I didn't play much basketball or other sports. But give me a rifle or shotgun and a target and I'll have a blast. And as I've looked around the world and built a testimony in the church I've come to more and more appreciate the world, so no TV channels for me. I enjoy reading as one of the great things to do, give me a Fantasy or Sci-fi book and a few days if not much going on and I'll have it done. Then you have video games, RPG and Strategy games and I'll be lost for a few days of enjoyment. Then there's DND, and on that, the game is about creating a world, a story for that world, and the characters to play it out with dice causing random chance. *Mutters* Seriously how hard is that to get right? And I write, mostly low level stuff but thanks to my good friend Samuel I've built in confidence and understanding on writing so I'm trying to branch into a more serious writer. I hope to one day bring delight to the people that read my stories, even if it is only the children I plan to have in the future. Yes, I play on having kids, I do go to social functions people. So overall, I'm relatively weird but I'm okay with that because I enjoy myself and find the people that also enjoy my weirdness. We'll just hook up the Computers or Game Consoles and play some Halo or Starcraft. Basically whatever works for me and my friends.
Why I am a Mormon
My entire family is in the church, and I've been a part of that culture for my entire life. But I can freely say I wasn't really a Latter Day Saint (Mormon) I just did it because it was the thing to do. Especially when I was in High-school then went out to college, I had a hard time understanding why it was important to follow the Commandments and Standards of the Church, and I really started looking for the reason I existed and what comes after I die. So, I asked God because I had been told that praying get's you answers. And, well, it was worth a shot. It wasn't easy, I didn't get a voice of thunder or struck by a lightning bolt but I felt the impression to start really thinking about it. Why do I believe what I believe, and I started looking into the Church, asking family and friends and they all told me to read the Book of Mormon.. So I read parts of the Book of Mormon and ran into The Plan of Salvation. From there... I know I will live with my family after this life and for all eternity as I follow the example of Jesus Christ and become his disciple. The Book of Mormon is a true testament of Jesus Christ and God will answer your prayers when you ask with a sincere heart and real intent. Meaning, you're really trying to find out if this book is true and you're really going to change from the answer. Read the Book of Mormon completely, repeatedly and a little every day. Praying about it and seeking answers and you'll see why I'm a Mormon.
How I live my faith
First things first, I read the Scriptures (Bible, Book of Mormon, ect) I pray morning and night, and throughout the day when I'm remembering to do it. And I attend Church every week. And I serve where I can, be it a simple things like shoveling walks, opening doors and things like that or helping to move massive amounts of boxes and things for welfare and relief efforts for the needy. Basically I just try and follow the example of Jesus Christ who was always serving people full time. Is it easy, nope. I also follow the Standards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that a lot of people find pretty crazy so I get made fun of quite a bit (more so than me playing DND and such...) but I'm a lot happier because of those standards, I don't have regrets on the massive destroy your whole world scale, just on the did not complete Eagle Scouting scale (still sucks, self control only hurts ounces) So I'll keep following those standards thank you very much.
