Your post was timely as I am reading Stephen Robinson's "Believing Christ" with my wife nightly. My wife is a foreign convert, so reading about the role of grace and mercy is enjoyable for us as it is something new for our marriage. Your post is especially enlightening as I am on the other other end of the spectrum than you (I'm 27) and it is fascinating to hear from someone comment that he feels like he is still working toward the same goals. In a way, it is comforting to know, while I suppose I already did, that I will be just as needy when 55 as now. This is a good lesson to learn now to not be disappointed if I am not where I want to be but to endure with myself. Come Thou Font is one of my favorite songs and miss it from the hymnal. If there is a revision in the future, I would love to see it. Personally for me, I wouldn't mind seeing it take the place of "In Our Lovely Deseret", though I do like the "eat very little meat" verse. There is nothing like a Men's Choir and Come Thou Font.

I will turn 55 this month. Nine months ago I was ordained to the office of Patriarch in our Stake. I now pray for mercy as never before! Thanks for sharing your experience. Faithfully yours, Ray Moore Dear Bruce,

Your feelings expressed here are my feelings also. I will turn 55 this month. Nine months ago I was ordained to the office of Patriarch in our Stake. I now pray for mercy as never before! Thanks for sharing your experience.
