[My first political post in a long, long while. This is my one statement on the current campaign. Other than here, I’m going to stay away from political posts because I abhor the lack of charity that permeates them. The basic idea behind this was borrowed from Ann Althouse].
Yes, I’m conservative (mostly). Yes, I’m an […]
Words of the prophets on these times
Posted on September 29, 2008 - Filed Under General | 12 Comments
Ever since I converted to the Church, I have been fascinated with the constant drumbeat of advice from leaders on staying out of debt. During the late 1990s, I would occasionally say to myself, “what are they talking about — the economy is booming!” Did we ever learn that lesson in 1999 and 2000. […]

A couple times while driving down Interstate 270, passing through Gaithersburg (home of NIST where Latter-day Saint and DNA scientist John Butler works), Rockville (home to dozens of biomedical reseach companies such as Celera Genomics, and historian and scientist Greg Prince’s Virion Systems), and Bethesda (home to NIH), I’ve heard the following radio ad:

This is a guest post by Michael R. Conder, a member of the Berthoud ward in Berthoud, CO, where he lives with his wife and four children. A systems engineer, Michael delivered this as a sacrament talk on Sept. 14, and there were very few dry eyes in the chapel as he discussed his journey […]

Posted on September 10, 2008 - Filed Under General | 22 Comments
A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not Christian enough to belong to a Christian fraternity. I support private groups of people forming associations with whomever they please and calling themselves whatever they want, but this group is not “Christian” and the world should be aware of its true […]

This story caught my eye, and I thought the Bloggernaclites might find it interesting to discuss. I have no idea how this would affect the Church if at all, but it could affect pastors both on the right and left.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever […]
