Another Church
Brandon and I went to a different church this morning. It’s run by Pastor Dan who has been a friend of mine since highschool. He knows I’m not converting but seemed excited about the possibility that Brandon would want to be baptized. Brandon liked the service and he and Dan got along great. During the…

Fifteen Minutes at a Time
I don’t get to watch a whole movie very often. There is usually a chore, a child, or a chore for a child that seems more urgent than sitting and watching a moving picture. Today I got to watch fifteen minutes of The Dark Crystal. Ogra has always been my favorite character and it was…

Incrementalism
2 Nephi 28:30 “For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him…
