Daniel In the Lions Den

I believe in miracles.
I believe in saying Merry Christmas!
I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America!
I believe in uncooking.
I believe in the Hollow Earth theory.
AND...
Mickey Mouse? Well....he's a whole nother story all together.
I'm...
Simple, charming, to the point, dislikes cruelty to human-beings and creatures. Loves the Lord, honest at heart, Has an imagination that streches out beyond the bounds of time and space. Loves going the extra mile or miles, genuine sincere and upbeat. Loves lions, tigers and bears. Oh my!!! I am a doer and I stand my ground on truth and principle. Express love and appreciation unconditionally to family, friends and all whom I encounter in my daily life.Not a pilliar of perfection, makes mistakes, learns from them and cherishes the lessons learned. No regrets. Loves creation, creating and being all that I can be. A one man army at heart.
I believe in the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"Others" represent not only my Brothers and Sisters. But every sentient creature on the face of the earth.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
The "Gospel" or "good news" that I can preach to every creature is that I will not kill them nor eat them. I will love them and help them when ever and where ever possible.
What could make the lesser intelligences more happy than for man to come to the understanding that it's just not necessary to eat them.
"The health benefits of plants foods know no limit... The more scientists look, the more impressive data they develop concerning the array of health benefits conferred by fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains, and vegetables. It's pretty safe to say that science will never be able to delineate fully all the miraculous ways that the plants we ingest work to keep us alive and well.
Yet, never will you read a story about chicken helping you prevent one disease or another. Not a single news item will appear anywhere about chuck steak or meatballs aiding any of your organs to function. Roast beef offers no benefit that any scientist can find (and don't think that the meat industry hasn't been paying them to look)... The only medical reports you will hear about animal foods is concerning their dangers... The bad news about animal foods never ends."--- Howard Lyman (in "No More Bull!" pp. 40 - 41)
"To a significant degree, we are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth, and lacking the energy that could be ours.... We need a generation of young people who, as Daniel, eat in a more healthy manner than to fare on the 'kings meat' ---and whose countenances show it." (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson pp. 476-7)
I do follow a rather simple diet. Like the Daniel of old (in the Bible.) I have a very simple plate. I don't eat animals or products that come from them.
Some favorite quotes: "Pure friendship always becomes weakend that very moment you undertake to make it stronger by penal oaths and secrecy."
"We cannot endure on borrowed light;
If we do not have "self-light" we will not stand."
American Prophet Joseph Smith Jr.
"Truth never changes."
"Our conception of a truth may change as we grow in wisdom and understanding, and in clearness of spiritual vision.
That which appeared to us to be true at one time we may find out later to be incorrect, and so it is we who change, and not the truth that changes."
Elder Charles W. Penrose---year 1911
"I am nourished in ways that the world does not understand. I receive blessing, strength, and real approval from God that make me who he intended me to be, and who I long to be. The world offers pleasure-I'd rather have joy. Joy is opaque to the world, but I know what it's like and where it comes from.
