[Cross-posted from Mormon Renaissance. We're trying to get the discussion going over there, so if you do comment, it'd be great if you could post your comments on that blog instead. Or on both blogs, I guess. :)]
I used to think I knew my stuff when it ...
Once again a C.S. Lewis Society meeting has graciously provided a blog entry for me. :)
A thought and then an epiphany. How could a good God let bad things happen? Till now, I've just assumed that it's part of the test -- that God planned it in, planting ...
The Church has a beautiful new website about the Savior, JesusChrist.lds.org:
It's all about Jesus Christ and it's good. They've got several articles about the Savior, and they've even got streaming video for seven of the Special Witnesses ...
So, I went to Relief Society on Sunday. And loved it. And not just because I'm single and I was surrounded by dozens of females. ~innocent smile~

One of my mom's friends recently wrote her a letter explaining why she (the friend) had recently decided to leave the Church. I've had other friends do likewise, and interestingly enough, they've said a lot of the same things, mostly boiling down to this: they ran the calculations and ...
From Torben, an interesting blog post on why Mormons should consider backing Obama, now that Romney's out of the race.
May I suggest that, in my opinion, the best person currently in the race is Barack Obama. If we can look past partisan politics, I think more will start ...
