And all this he did, for the sole purpose of bringing this people into subjection or into bondage. And behold, we at this time do pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites, to the amount of one half [...]
(Cross posted at the Book of Mormon symposium at Straight and Narrow)
The Tree of Life is a symbol familiar to all who have read the Book of Mormon. Nephi learned from an angel that the tree in his father’s vision represents the love of God. The vision shows a tree bearing white fruit, [...]
With the new legislation (track on GovTrack) popping out of the woodwork on “national service” (i.e. a draft), we tend to hear people scrutinizing our patriotism by our willingness to adopt such a policy. “Don’t you support defending your country?”, they say.

That’s right, Sustain’d is a go! It is officially launched as of this morning, off on its journey to find a life of its own. Sustain’d is what you make of it. I hope it becomes a good resource for the online LDS community to find, promote, and access good, interesting LDS [...]

Last month I posted about a service project our ward was doing to assemble hygiene kits to be sent to Zambia, Africa.
We raised almost $3,000 and purchased the supplies for the kits from Mandalay International. The kits ended up costing about $3 a pop. Tonight during Family Home Evening we assembled [...]
Dang! It slipped my mind that yesterday was Constitution Day! I was hoping to plan some festivities and make a big thing out if it. Jim Bovard offered three great suggestions for how to celebrate such a day in “this Age of Bush” (I’ll try to remember these for next year):

The USA Today ran a story last week about the Federal Reserve going after the Liberty Dollar, not wanting consumers to be “fooled”. The John Birch Society has a great article about the issue which I wholeheartedly agree with. I plan to buy some myself.
Do members of the LDS church worship Heavenly Father or Jesus Christ?
