Geoff B.
Geoff B has had three main careers. Some of them have overlapped. After attending Stanford University (class of 1985), he worked in journalism for several years until about 1992, when he took up his second career in telecommunications sales. In 1995, he took up his favorite and third career as father. Soon thereafter, Heavenly Father hit him over the head with a two-by-four (wielded by the Holy Ghost) and he woke up from a long sleep. Since then, he's been learning a lot about the Gospel. He still has a lot to learn. Geoff's held several Church callings: young men's president, high priest group leader, member of the bishopric, stake director of public affairs, media specialist for church public affairs, high councilman. He tries his best in his callings but usually falls short. Geoff has four children and lives in Miami, FL.

…and I simply must recognize the incredible efforts of Guy Murray at Messenger & Advocate. Please take some time to read his posts, look at the “Yes on Prop. 8″ art he has put together and offer him some support. The inhabitants of the Great and Spacious Building are definitely on a rampage […]

Several young children (under seven or eight) got up to bear their testimonies in Sacrament Meeting today. My son Joshua (three and a half) was fascinated by the six- and seven-year-olds saying “they knew the Church is true.” He turned to me and said, “Daddy, I want to go up there.”

Posted on October 28, 2008 - Filed Under General | 6 Comments
With Halloween nearly upon us, it is time to consider the novel “Twilight” by LDS author Stephanie Meyer. I know, I know, “Twilight” has been around for several years and it and its sequels have been read by legions of faint-hearted, vampire-loving romantics. So, what can I possibly have to add on this […]

Some editors at the NY Times must have been asleep to allow this surprisingly fair story be published. Am I the only one who read this as actually kind of portraying Prop. 8 supporters in a positive light?
