NO PERMIT REQUIRED

Holy Moly!  I posted a few posts back (don't know when) about a new blog I had been working on.  It's this. Any way - it's been quite a job.  Not that it looks like it, but whatever.  Still it has taken up time.  Time I would use to blog on my blog had I had anything to actually blog about.  This blog is actually better than mine anyway.  So again I say -- take a look.  You won't be disappointed. FHE (family home evening if you don't know) on Sunday was taught by husband, hereinafter known as "Big D." Moroni 10: 4-5 with the focus being on verse 5. Everyone in our family now has the gift of the Holy Ghost which means we all may "know the truth of all things."  This means we need to know how we amass the truth of all things.  We pray and get answers to prayers.  The answers to these said prayers come in different ways.  As a general rule we should pay attention to these 3 things. 1.  The answer you get the first time, however, whenever and

I finished reading a book a few weeks ago called Beloved Bridegroom , by Donna Nielsen .  I posted a picture and a recommendation several posts back.  It's about how to find Christ in ancient Jewish marriage and family customs.  (Do not be intimidated by that description.  It is VERY readable.)   On page 4 it says this:   "The three most essential requirements for parents were: to love God, remember his commandments at all times, and then teach them to their children at every possible opportunity."   I have been thinking about this concept for several months now (way before being reminded of this in Beloved Bridegroom .)  I have been praying that I may be attentive enough to the children and in tune enough with opportunities to engage in this kind of teaching.  Also, I realize that the Lord has been telling me for a LONG time, a really LONG time to do what Hyrum [Smith] was told to do in D&C 11:21 "Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my

Some months ago I was listening to a local morning talk-show program.   The host brought up an interesting idea about environmentalism and the human condition.  I have thought about it on and off since then. I am religious.   I believe in God. I do not believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution or Natural Selection.  I believe God created the earth in 6 creative periods.  I don't believe it was magic.  I believe the creation followed all the laws of the land, physics, geology, etc. etc.  I am not a scientist.  I believe God made Adam steward over all the earth and its inhabitants and that we should be thoughtful, careful stewards.  I don't believe in man-made global warming.  I do not believe human beings have the ability or the inclination to destroy the earth. I believe God made man in his own image and that human beings are the superior life on this planet. If this were not so, God would be a dinosaur and they would still be traipsing around ruining the rain forests by ea

I actually had something to say -- something very important and profound :)  But I can't.  "24" starts in less than five minutes.
