ShareSo, a while back I heard of a guy who decided to put a twist on his birthday, instead of getting, he gave. The first year he asked everyone to give $30 for his 30th and he took the money and provided clean drinking water for a village in a country that didn’t have it. [...]
ShareToday I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to get a buzz out of the audio of a video I was making to show a group of friends how to help our company achieve one of my outrageous goals. In turn we’re letting them take part in the passive [...]
ShareA news story caught my eye today. The headline read, “Rich man claims to be Jesus.” Curious about this claim, I watched the MSN Video. While not refuting biblical teachings of “donations,” this man claims that prayer isn’t necessary. He says that there’s no such thing as sin. He also says there’s no hell.

ShareMySpace Sued for Failing to Protect Minors
Wow! I don’t think I’ve read a thread like this in a long time. This has gotten me so riled up and as I read each comment on the trial I couldn’t help but think of Jack Johnson‘s song entitled “Cookie Jar“. The bottom line is that every is [...]

Jesus entered into Jerusalem today, he cleansed the temple and spent the night in Bethany 2 miles outside of the Holy City. Over the course of this week he showed his power, performed miracles, taught and finally suffered for all mankind in the Garden ...
- Watching Grass Grow
This started as a comment I posted on the imported Facebook Note of my blog post Simplifying Stuff that I felt deserved it's own showing on the floor room of my blog. So, during this last conference I had an interesting experience. I hadn't felt s...
- My Words Never Cease
I'd like to dedicate this post to my friend Charles. It's been a little while since I took some time to get out of myself. The other week I stepped out of my usual self-absorbed role to wear the hat of a missionary again. Our ward mission leader had a...
- Opening Our Hearts - Elder Gerald N. Lund
