Marriage-and its definition-has been the ultimate source of bloggernacle fodder for months now. The national elections this year bring with them a tough call for citizens local to the state of California and whether or not they vote to redefine marriage to include the marriages of men to men and women to women.
That issue has [...]

What Joseph knew…

After yet ANOTHER endless circular discussion on blacks and the priesthood and gay marriage yada yada until my head aches…I finally decided that it was time to post one of my “weak” little discoveries on my blog for those who truly seek to ponder on. Those who claim to be historical scholars NEVER talk about [...]
Life Illustrated

There is a propensity today to make life seem so complicated and angst ridden-so that we can then proclaim ourselves victims of all the confusion and chaos…..wo, wo, wo is me. (Ya gotta have THREE wo’s to be considered extremely serious ya know). In my research today I came across the following little gem from [...]

Marion G. Romney-Some members assume that one can be in full harmony with the spirit of the gospel, enjoy full fellowship in the Church, and at the same time be out of harmony with the leaders of the Church and the counsel and direction they give. Such a position is wholly inconsistent. . . . [...]

The Priesthood Ban-
Before a core doctrine can be changed, it must first BE a core doctrine. I refer to the above criteria listed in part 1 of this E.G.O.-
Core:the central, innermost, or most essential part of anything
Doctrine:a collection of particular principles, positions, or beliefs taught or advocated
Thus, in LDS terms, core doctrines are principles, [...]
Today’s E.G.O. Alert
Posted in 1 on August 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The purpose behind threads that bear the title E.G.O. (Erroneous Gospel Opinion) Alert is to examine whether or not specific arguments being presented in the LDS Blogging community as “TRUE” actually ARE “TRUTH”. If they are, they will harmonize with the “eternal and everlasting knowledge, wisdom and principles revealed by God [...]

I’m not one of those people that blogs every day and records every family event, personal trial, or joke-my blog is not my life’s journal. I’m not one of those people that feels a blog is the perfect place to flesh out my own scriptural or doctrinal doubts or display my personal and painful burdens [...]
For David

This post is dedicated to someone I’ve never met, but hugely respect. He makes me laugh, he makes me think, and if we were in high school together we’d probably geek around together and he’d make me pass notes to his girlfriend for him. And I would.
David, has a gift with words, and was asked [...]
The Big Picture

I love puzzles, and not just the mysteries-treasure hunt-seeking for answers type. I like the jigsaw kind too. A few years ago, I started putting one out during Thanksgiving day and while dinner cooks, various members of the family will sit down and work on it here and there. My oldest daughter is the soldier [...]
Deep thoughts from the shallow end
Posted in Thoughts on August 4, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Right out of the gate there are 2 things I should tell you about myself.
First, I love to take things apart and put them back together. Seriously.
When I want to understand something or how it works on the deepest level, I dismantle it-especially when I have nothing to lose and much to gain by doing [...]
