I know we all have to take things we want to know to the Lord in prayer, but you know its not with everything. I won't take to the Lord in prayer a question about how man deacons make up a quorum cause there's an answer for that. My question is who do you take your questions too when you want to know something about the gospel? I like to check Google. Yeah call me crazy but thats how I found this site and I've found a lot of other things too that I thought I knew but didn't.
I agree with Nighthawk but sometimes I read some of the posts members make and I end up having more questions. Sites like this just tell me I don't know as much as I thought.
I also ask my husband and sometimes if there's the opportunity in Relief Society I may bring up a question depending on who the teacher is that Sunday.
Usually I start out figureing out what I do know about the subject. I go look up things in what books I have around, Gospelink is also good to search for things (Its orgnaized by topic) and even lds.org is able to search things out. Meaning I go as far as I can and figure out where the wholes are in my knowledge. Now that I know what is missing I know what I need to seek out and find. I ask others at church that I feel might know, I'm not always expecting the other person to know the answer, its more to just bounce ideas or see if there is something I'm missing.
Usually just pondering about it enough and studying it out I come to the conculstion that there isn't an set answer at this time. Its one of those things we just won't know until the next life.
What can I say folks I ain't just fine with praying and hoping. I look, research hours, days or months if necessary for the answer. Wasn't the Church the one who used to boast that it has the answer for all the questions people have? What happened with that?
