LDS Member's Thoughts In LA Times
Los Angeles Times 29Apr00 P2
By Kathleen Lubeck Peterson
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- LDS Church member Kathleen Lubbock
Peterson has written another article that appeared in the Los Angeles
Times. It deals with her personal experience watching a cousin
slowly succumb to death because of diabetes. The article is well
written and sprinkled with quotes from Isaiah and Psalms, as it
expresses her testimony of the resurrection.
In the article she says, "The Earth seems to be at peace in spring,
despite what man might do. Forces are at work that man sometimes
doesn't understand. For some people, it takes a great leap of faith to
believe that spirit and perfect body will be joined again, that we will
live after this life and can be with our loved ones and our God. It's
simple for me--I believe. I believe that the Savior loves each person
ever born on this Earth, and that he can give them help, hope and new
life. I believe that he lifted our sorrows and sins upon himself, a gift
to each of us. We need only accept it by repenting and following his
instructions to us."
Kathleen Lubeck Peterson is a former seminary teacher for the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
