I don’t often read the FAIR forums since it seems to be more oriented around folks with grudges scoring points than really attempting to understand. (From both sides of the aisle) It looks like a lot of people agree since the forums have been “de-coupled” somewhat from FAIR proper. (They have their […]

[Follow-up to the discussion on Richard Dutcher’s “Christianity Today” interview–separated into a second post so we don’t have a fractured discussion thread]
One aspect of the “CT” interview deserves further discussion: concerning the segment from “States of Grace” where the missionaries take a transient into their apartment. A large section of the interview is Dutcher […]

As a follow up to February’s analysis of LDS cinema:
Richard Dutcher was interviewed last month in “Christianity Today” following the DVD release of “States of Grace”. (Link courtesy of BCC)

I’m not going to blog or comment or anything until the 27th, since it’s break time and I want to spend time with my family. So, anyway, until then, I want to post the lyrics to a not very well known, but extremely awesome Christmas song.
It’s a Pearl Award nominated song by Jeff Hinton, […]

Any better title suggestions? From this angle, they match their surroundings rather well. I particularly like the color and shading of the stake center roof and those of all the surrounding houses.
Judging from the statue’s shadow, if my calculations are correct, this was at 9:10 AM, give or take six minutes, on a […]

Mitt Romney is under fire for changing his mind over a ten year span.
I know I don’t hold beliefs I held ten years ago. Ten years from now, I expect I’ll cringe when I am confronted with what I’ve posted in blogs.

Virgil Goode. Sigh. Republican from Virginia. Never heard of him until today. But he seems to think that we need to limit immigration so no more Muslims will ever get elected to Congress. Yes, it’s time for the Mormons once again to defend the Constitution, which has a small but […]

Normally, I prefer focused articles on a specific topic than sharing personal stories, but with my wife’s permission, I’d like to share some of the events occupying most of our attention these last couple of months. Many of you may not find this interesting at all, but I think there are a couple of issues […]

You know how how there are rumors occasionally flying of some letter from the First Presidency that some people say their bishops and stake presidents have said exists or reads to them, and others say their bishops or stake presidents have confirmed that no such letter exists? I’m in the middle of that right […]
