In recent weeks and months the following passage has been in the forefront of my mind:
Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people, yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their herds, and in gold, and in silver, and in all manner of precious things [...]
A couple hours before Church started today, I received a call from the Sunday School President. He asked me which lesson was taught in Gospel Doctrine last week, in an attempt to figure out which lesson was to be taught this week. Why he called me to ask, I’m not sure. I [...]
This article speaks of the development of new nuclear bombs in our country to replace an aged arsenal with newer, superior nukes.
In a day and age when the mere mention of “nuclear bomb” creates anxiety and worry, one wonders what the object of creating more bombs really is. In the name of maintaining [...]
As I drove to Institute last night, I passed several houses that had their Christmas lights up. A thought struck me: What in the world are the purpose of Christmas lights?
Honestly! Why do people climb their roof, risking breaking their neck or some other body part, all for a few lights? [...]
Per Jordan’s suggestion I’ve decided to take some time to review where I was, each December, for the past ten years. This might make some of you feel really old. Reader beware!

Finished up my second to last semester at the Y, feeling the full effects of Senioritis (i.e. no [...]
Liberty is the inspired and inspiring concept that started the American Revolution, and fuels continual revolution, dissent, and political battles today. Speaking of the importance of liberty, Frederick Douglass said:
The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. [...]
The following post is a cross-post from Blogger of Jared for our “Life of Christ” symposium.
The 11th chapter of Matthew features an extended promise from our Savior to all who will listen and obey:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and [...]
No, no.. not that kind of butt. C’mon, people. Have some class!
Today’s rant has to do with my pet peeve of smokers and littering. Back in my Boy Scouting days, I was always taught to leave a place cleaner than it was (or equally clean) when I was there.
On the opposite side of [...]
The other night I transcribed a pamphlet by W. Cleon Skousen titled “Do You Really Want the Rest of the Book of Mormon?” If anybody would like the text let me know and I’ll send you a link (I’m not going to link it on my site since I don’t have permission to redistribute [...]
Related to my recent post on socialism is the following quote by President Howard W. Hunter:
There appears to me to be a trend to shift responsibility for life and its processes from the individual to the state. In this shift there is a basic violation of the law of the harvest, or the law [...]
This article poignantly sums up the peril at Peril Harbor, and at whose door judgment and responsibility will ultimately lay. On this, the 65th anniversary of the attack, the message the article conveys is more important than ever, especially when compared to the events of today.
Betrayal at Pearl Harbor

This is one of the best articles I’ve yet to read on why socialism is evil, and how it has creeped into our government. The article is “Why We Love Government”, written by Walter Williams for the Washington Times.
Unlike today’s Americans, the Founders of our nation were suspicious, if not contemptuous, of government. Consider [...]
