Right. I can go along with this, Marc. However, you might recall that I said earlier that there are times in my life when I sneak a prayer to Jesus only without thinking of the Father. I wouldn't teach this at the church pulpit, or what not, but I am telling my friends (you) in private that sometimes (not often) I just want to focus my thoughts on Christ alone and tell him that I love him and need him-- he is my brother. This tone does come from the Book of Mormon. Don't get me wrong, most every prayer I utter is directed to the Father and I know that Christ is there too, BUT, there are times I feel a need to think solely of Christ and his atonement and if I think of the Father I get distracted. I have also had this experience of prayer with Heavenly Mother a few times when I just wanted to talk to her and no one else. Wow!! I won't get into it, it's too sacred. Anyway, its my own business and I'm just sharing a little about me. I'm not encouraging anyone to do as I do. Worship how or what you may according to the dictates of your own conscience. And if you guys don't like what I said-- Oh well, suit yourself.
