My Beliefs
“As I’ve traveled all over the world, the fact that I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has caused a lot of interesting questions. I’ve received so many letters and e-mails asking things like, What are the basic beliefs of Latter-Day Saints?”
My Testimony
…Some want to know how Debbie and I have been able to maintain a strong marriage — over all these years — while living in the world of show business. Others want to know how we dealt with the challenges of raising a close and happy family in such difficult times.
How do we maintain a balance between work, and family life? Well, you know it’s not always easy, but the following pages are my attempt to explain a way of life that helps answer these kinds of questions. It gives me stability in a world, and in a business, that can be uncertain, compromising, and stressful. It’s the pattern that gives me direction in my life. And, I hope that this information will help answer some of your questions.

Mentally Challenged Child
We have a beautiful 24 year old son who is mentally [challenged]. Although it hasn’t always been easy we wouldn’t trade our life with him for anything. The one thing that haunts me is at times I find myself selfishly wishing he were normal and could live a normal life.

What word or words of wisdom can one propose or conclude, on behalf of another’s self-sacrifice to the point of permanent physical determent (tinnitus) when aiding a sick and dying loved one, ultimately producing atheist children because “God did not care for” their mother who saved the dying persons life?

Did Playing Joseph Conflict With Your Beliefs, Or Did It Strengthen Them?
I was wondering while Donny was playing Joseph who was a Hebrew as they called the Jews in those days did it conflict at all with his beliefs regarding being a Mormon or did it strengthen his beliefs more?
