An Awful, Good Enough, and Great Movie

jettboy — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 12:56:41 +0000

Forgive me for indulging in a subject not directly related to Mormonism or Politics, but there are some thoughts about movies that I wanted to put down. My love of movies started when I first saw Star Wars as a small kid. There were others I had seen before it in the theaters such as [...]

Romney’s Path to the Mormon Presidency

jettboy — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 07:00:21 +0000

Thinking about editor Albert R. Hunt’s silly post-primary prediction where he sees Romney, “becoming president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,” I decided to do a little math experiment on the probability that Mitt Romney could someday become the LDS Prophet. He will be 65 in 2012 during the election year. [...]

The Angels of Darkness – More on Sherlock Holmes and Mormons (well, Mormons, anyway)

Ivan Wolfe — Fri, 27 May 2011 18:23:06 +0000

I feel that sufficient time has passed since Geoff pointed out the interesting Mormon bits in the first Sherlock Holmes tale, A Study in Scarlet (interestingly, the first time I ever read that story, it was in an abridged version that cut out the Mormon bits. I didn’t find out about the Mormon chapters until [...]

World Cup Moroni

Bryce Haymond — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:47:43 +0000

Received this in my inbox this morning, and couldn’t stop laughing. I heard reports that the Angel Moroni is missing from the temple in Johannesburg. See the two pictures below (look at the top left spire): Before the World Cup: During the World Cup: It turns out that he was found in attendance at one [...]

Official Bendanian History

Ben Pratt — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:34:01 +0000

Note: Of the numerous micronations extant toward the end of the 20th century, few reached the same depths of obscurity and irrelevance achieved by Bendania, which consisted of the bedroom shared by two young brothers. I offer this historical document (with very little emendation, minor formatting changes appropriate for the new medium in which it [...]

My Father in the September Ensign. (And what didn’t make it in)

Ivan Wolfe — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:22:43 +0000

Page 19 -21. It’s part of a larger article (that starts on page 18_, but his anecdote about high school wrestling and promptings from the spirit can be found on those pages. Though the artists rendering on page 20 is all wrong. It looks nothing like my father and the school color and logo in [...]

What is “Daily Bread”? Are you sure?

Ivan Wolfe — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:28:01 +0000

An old friend of mine is now a youth pastor. On his blog, he requested some help with a Greek translation issue in the New Testament. He read in a book (Eugene Peterson’s Eat This Book) that “daily” could be translated “fresh” – as in, “give us this day some fresh bread.” He wondered about [...]

Around the Net…

J. Max Wilson — Tue, 15 Feb 2005 06:05:30 +0000

I thought it might be nice to have an “around the net” listing interesting links of the week. I know Times and Seasons has their sidebar with good links. But there are always a few articles that deserve a bit more comment than just a link. The first is a rather nice discussion of the [...]

Pearls, Swine, and the Value of Blogs

Millennial Star Editors — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 14:51:05 +0000

A few months ago, someone close to me told me he had read a scripture that was written for bloggers. Knowing Godâ€™s prescience for technology (he told Truman Angell to design elevator shafts for the temple!), this did not seem too far-fetched. Then I read the scripture, and realized that the intended message was not [...]
