Parker was arrested and jailed in Lexington in April 2005 over his request – and the school’s refusal – to notify him when adults discuss homosexuality or transgenderism with his 6-year-old kindergartner. That despite a state [...]

When man found the mirror, he began to lose his soul. (Anonymous, via Quoty)
Such a simple statement conveys a very profound principle. Our decadent society has become wholly self-indulgent and all too focused on the image of self.
This trend is not without its associated consequences:
I am convinced by a vast amount of [...]

Hooray! Ron Paul has formally announced his candidacy for the top spot in the nation!
Mentioning she’s ready to start investigating the candidates, my mother asked me yesterday why I wouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney. My response to such a question (along with the response of why I plan to vote for [...]

William N. Grigg, formerly of the John Birch Society, has an excellent post about the distinction between patriotism and nationalism:
While the terms patriotism and nationalism can refer to the same thing – the love of one’s native country – in practice they have acquired very different meanings. Nationalism, in practice, describes not [...]

The compound composition of the scriptures is very interesting to me. Some of the canon is comprised of prophecy, some of poetic pondering, and some of personal journal entries.
The latter seems especially unique to me. Certainly prophecy and religious teachings by those called of God are to be called scripture, but [...]

The second law of thermodynamics posits that “the entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.”
In layman’s terms, this essentially means that things have a natural tendency to break down over time, going from order to chaos. This, in a [...]

This latin phrase means “Therefore, he who desires peace, let him prepare for war.” There is wisdom in these words that is further accentuated with an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Love changes people.
My cousin returned home from his LDS mission to Portland, Oregon, on Friday. This cousin of mine was somewhat of a “lost” soul a few years ago—a “prodigal son” type of person. He was definitely wandering into dark paths and messing up his life.
