Read The Book of Mormon
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I would like everyone to read the Book of Mormon in its entirety and decide for themselves what to make of it. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people just think it’s boring. Also some people…

My Alternate Life
Describe your life in an alternate universe. Since alternate universes can range from horrid, to weird, to awesome, I think I will pick an awesome one. In my awesome alternate life I am the center of the universe. All the mathematical models of people, planets, and stars revolving around me are simple and aesthetically pleasing.…

College Food
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? The first time I attempted college it was a very expensive school. An equally expensive meal plan was a requirement after tuition. I don’t know which meal cost the most because they all cost so much. But those meals were the…

You Can’t See Me
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? This is a question that leaves me with questions. Is someone unable to see me because they are blind but they are also in the room? Can someone see my picture on the internet but can’t tell what I really look like from a…

Soft Tyranny
I reread The Declaration of Independence this afternoon. As much as I complain about how Democrats and Republicans are ruining the country, I am occasionally forced to admit that we don’t have nearly the sort of tyranny that would make men pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to dissolve the Union. On the other…
