  • Vast Treasure Spent On War, Should We Support It?

    Today via Facebook, I shared the following video and comment regarding how much we spend on war and a bit of reflection on if we should support it: Sad how much we spend on death and destruction. Even sadder that so many of us treat that money as sacred and untouchable. Maybe I’m mistaken, but…

  • The Bible & Ron Paul

    I recently came across this awesome video series that shows how Ron Paul’s positions best align with the Bible compared to other candidates (thanks to RonPaulFlix.com for sharing it). It is REALLY well done and worth the watch for all Christians. There are 13 short videos that discuss various topics and the moral, Constitutional, and…

  • A Response to DemandProgress.org Regarding Creationism vs Evolution

    I receive emails from DemandProgress.org and sign many of their petitions because they have been making a strong effort to stop government takeovers of the internet and such.

  • Elder Dallin H. Oaks Speech On Religious Freedom

    This is an excellent talk discussing religious freedom and law. It does not have an LDS focus and should be watched by all: Mormon, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, etc. I especially appreciate the continued inclusion of Muslims in his speech as worthy of the same religious freedoms as us all. I think all types…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas Everyone! Thanks for all the cards and presents. Have a great holiday! Here’s a short video by the church from this year’s Christmas Devotional about giving on Christmas:

    The LDS Church made a light-hearted but thoughtful video for Thanksgiving. Here’s the video clip’s excerpt: Random people on the streets of New York City share a variety of grateful responses to one simple question: What are you thankful for?

  • Hope Ya Know, We Had A Hard Time

    The Church came out with this excellent video awhile back and I had been meaning to share it. It uses the talk by Elder Quentin L. Cook, from the Quorom of the Twelve Apostles, in the last General Conference. In the comments for this video on YouTube, many mentioned that it brought tears to their…

  • Apostles on the Civic Duty of Mormons

    About a year and a half ago, I had what I like to call a “political awakening.” I have always abhorred politics and current events in general. However, I couldn’t help but act on the increasing promptings I was getting to find out about the current political race for the presidency. I won’t get too…

  • An Apostle’s Easter Thoughts on Christ

    I don’t know how many of you have seen this, but the church came out with a video a few weeks back using Elder Holland’s recent General Conference talk. The talk was very powerful, as you can see from the video. Just thought I’d share because it is very humbling and also insightful into the…
