Life is fragile.
As some of you may have seen on the local Utah news, Craig Decker went missing yesterday. He was in a boat on Utah Lake with his parents; an oar went overboard and he jumped in after it, and he hasn't been seen since. Search ...
I was reading in 2 Nephi 4 this morning, and Lehi's statement to the children of Laman intrigued me:
If ye are brought up in the way ye should go ye will not depart from it.
Now, I don't know if there's another way to describe it, but it seems pretty clear ...
We dropped my brother Dan off at the MTC today. With gas prices on the rise and both food and utilities getting more expensive by the day, we figured it would be cheapest to outsource his residence to people with a bigger budget. :P
No, really, he'll be heading out ...

From Times and Seasons, Orbital Sacrament quotes Don Lind about his sacrament service in outer space. And NorthTemple links to a similar situation -- How does an Islamic astronaut face Mecca in orbit? -- and mentions that "it’s interesting how the experience of religion changes as ...
Remember the story of the rich young man from the New Testament?
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, ...
