The sun made a quick appearance this morning.
But it seems clouds are behind me to cover it as well as in front of me.
A cold front is moving in.
We'll have a serious drop in temperatures.
And rain.
I like rain. I like clouds.
It will be a good day.

Doctrine is teaching. The church of Jesus Christ is necessarily based on who he is, what he did, and the teaching he gave.
As far as denomination(s), the church is as far from them as east is from west.

An accident, a tragedy, a war ─
That sudden moment when you're stopped, the floor
Collapses, the heavens fall, illusions fade,
Revealing humans ─ of flesh and blood we're made.
