I rarely watch TV. Sometimes when I quilt I’ll turn on the TV to see if there’s anything on other than the normal degenerate filth. In the past few weeks I’ve seen some commercials that [...]

While reading The Peacegiver by James L. Ferrell, I was impressed by part of an insightful conversation between two main characters in the book. They were discussing the topic of entitlements, as one of the characters, Ricky, felt he deserved to be loved and supported by his wife with whom he [...]
Some of you may have seen this letter circulating the internet already, but I received it yesterday for the first time. The letter, be it real or fictitious, makes an excellent point.

Gun control advocates naturally use such tragedies to their political advantage in an effort to enforce further gun control, citing the weapon as the cause of the crime. The media helps [...]
A few months ago I had the opportunity to visit a different ward where the Bishop gave a great talk, one sentence of which I wrote down to preserve in memory:
The ultimate level of adoration is emulation.
Powerful words.

Let’s not kid ourselves. In a presidential election, our vote means nothing. Even in more local elections, whether it be for state or city government, our vote represents a very small portion of the total number of votes being cast on any given issue. The number of times an important [...]

The Washington Post reports on a recent bill signed by the Governor of Maryland:
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley signed into law yesterday a measure that would circumvent the Electoral College by awarding the state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most votes nationwide.
