MSNBC is carrying an article (CNSNews offers an opposing perspective) discussing a forthcoming book titled Tempting Faith. The author is David Kuo, who served as special assistant to the president from 2001 to 2003 in the Office of [...]
While searching for a quote by Brigham Young, I ran across this page on LDSLiving by Ted Gibbons, who just so happens to be my current Old Testament Institute instructor. Small world.
The article talks about the Law of Consecration. I particularly like the third section, titled “WE CAN CONSECRATE OUR LIVES UNTO THE [...]
From the mouth of Vaughn J. Featherstone:
The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind. Satan has unleashed every evil, every scheme, every blatant, vile perversion ever known to man in any generation. Just as this is the dispensation of the fullness of times, so it is [...]
…and some of Numbers.
Tonight in Institute we studied from Leviticus and part of Numbers. The following are some of the notes I took.
The book of Leviticus is a “priesthood manual for the Levites”. The theme of the entire book is best conveyed in Lev. 19:2: “Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD [...]
I’ve previously posted about most of these things, but this summary is pretty succinct. From L. William Losapio:
“We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.”
(Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950)
“And he causeth all, both [...]
I posted last week about the new Military Commissions Act of 2006 and how this appalling piece of legislation will destroy the rights and liberties afforded each citizen of this nation.
Echoing my sentinments, Olbermann has come out with yet another clip that’s a must watch:
I’ve assumed all along that things with North Korea were going to escalate. So now they go test a nuke underground, and Bush responds by saying that they’re a threat to international peace and that we won’t be invading.
Smart move. With the fourth largest army and second largest special ops force [...]
I recently received an email containing a story about a father teaching his son why we are at war in Iraq. The story can be accessed here.
The story, while emotionally stirring (on purpose), is inaccurate at best.
First off, I agree with the sentiments of the son towards the end, when he declares [...]
I heard this story last week and found it on LDSLiving, told by W. Jeffrey Marsh (who was an excellent professor for the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith course I took at BYU).
During my mission in Honduras I was asked by various people why we needed to give tithing. Surely God doesn’t need [...]
In recent weeks, while talking to friends and family, the Narrator has sometimes come up as a topic of conversation. These people express an appreciation for what I blog about, and show their interest in what I have to opine on. However, they feel that the Narrator brings a cloud of negativity and [...]
I found this JBS commentary quite interesting:
Did you ever notice that when a Republican politician is involved in a sexual scandal, he resigns in disgrace (for example, Senator Bob Packwood or Representative Bob Livingston)? And have you noticed that when a Democratic politician is involved in a sexual scandal, he tenaciously holds on to [...]
So tonight I tried out the Facial Recognition webapp over at My Heritage. You upload your mug shot and it tells you what celebrities you most look like.
My results: (percentages indicate approximation in facial identity)
I feel confused.
