When you’re weary

“Be not weary in well doing”
Sounds like good council. So what has failed when you suddenly find yourself very, very weary? What is wrong when it seems like the more “well” things you try to do, the more “not well” opposition seems to rear its ugly (and trust me…it’s UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH GLEEE) head?
I love it when [...]

Sheep-The Faith

“We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost”.
The LDS Church teaches that FAITH as the FIRST principle of the [...]

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.

What Joseph knew…

Such a position is wholly inconsistent. . . . [...]

EGO Part II

The Priesthood Ban-

Today’s E.G.O. Alert

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 [...]

Fresh Fruit

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 [...]
