A Gay Education

Posted by Connor on March 16th, 2007

This article is astounding. 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 law requiring such notification. The incident made news around the nation and even Gov. Mitt [...]

Smitten With Self

Posted by Connor on March 15th, 2007

photo credit: ginger 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 [...]

Why I’m For Ron Paul and Against Mitt Romney

Posted by Connor on March 14th, 2007

photo credit: adamni 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 [...]

Patriotism vs. Nationalism

Posted by Connor on March 13th, 2007

photo credit: ilmungo 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 [...]

Journals as Scripture

Posted by Connor on March 12th, 2007

photo credit: Inthisstorm 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 [...]

When the Collectors Come Calling

Posted by Connor on March 9th, 2007

photo credit: Michael P Thanks to Chris for passing along a link to a CBS interview with David Walker, Comptroller General. The 11 minute video can be accessed here. Please watch it, take a few deep breaths, then come back. “Fiscal cancer” is the perfect metaphor for our nation’s current economic situation. Our pathetic politicians [...]

Angry Americans

Posted by Connor on March 8th, 2007

photo credit: kelco Are you angry? Do you have a strong sense of foreboding welling up within you regarding the future? Do you fear an economic collapse or war with more nations (or even worse, against such vague categorizations such as “terror” and “drugs”)? Ron Paul offers his (spot on!) suggestions on why Americans are [...]

Order and Chaos

Posted by Connor on March 7th, 2007

photo credit: cybercassie 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 [...]

Add a Wife

Posted by Connor on March 6th, 2007

I was just invited to participate in the new FamilySearch beta program. This is what I saw once I logged in after registration: If only it were that easy…

Prepare for Peace

Posted by Connor on March 6th, 2007

photo credit: QuestionMark Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum 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. The gospel is a message of peace unto all those who receive it. [...]

The Sung Hero

Posted by Connor on March 6th, 2007

Eric sang me a song. Thanks, Eric! While surely undeserved, it’s very appreciated! I guess not everybody speaks evil of me… :)

The Power of Love

Posted by Connor on March 5th, 2007

Cross posted at Blogger of Jared. photo credit: Munzerr 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 [...]
