I attended a Priesthood Leadership Meeting this evening, and one of the speakers was our Area Authority Seventy. He shared an insight about the miracle recorded in Mark 4:36 — 41, where Jesus calmed the stormy seas.
This miracle has always been immensely meaningful for me, hopefully for obvious... Comment - Like

I have always loved the Apostle Peter. I have especially been impressed with his almost reckless faith. When the Lord said “Come, follow me,” Peter dropped his fishing nets where he stood and immediately followed the Master, with no thought of how he would provide for himself or his family....

For the past ten years, Christmas trees have been an ongoing source of friction between my wife and me. I always had a real tree growing up, and I love the smell, and the full, irregular look of real trees. She always had a fake tree, and since she’s about one step short of Adrian Monk, she REAL...

This is a story I first wrote in high school. It has evolved since then, and has sat for a long time. Recently, I was thinking about it, so I dusted it off, revised it, and decided to go ahead and publish it here. I’m also including it as a PDF because I think it looks nicer that way. So o...

This past Saturday was one of those moments that defines your life as a parent. I was privileged to baptize my oldest daughter, who had just turned eight the day before. What a glorious experience! Here was my own child, entering into the Church and Kingdom of God. I felt for a moment how pl... Comment - Like

I have seen many tributes to Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin in the last day and a half. I don’t know that I have a lot to add, but I’ll share my few thoughts. I see around me a world filled with hate. We have on the one hand certain right-wing groups that call themselves “Christians” but seem t... Comment - Like

This is a new feature on my blog I call “Proof that despite gender issues, and despite knowing, for example, a wedge from a pump, Sweetisthepeace is not, in fact, a woman.” I expect this to be a regular feature (meaning as likely as not, this is the only time you’ll see it).

So sometimes I have to go into work on Saturday to try to keep up with my hours. This is always a bummer, because I would much rather spend my Saturday with my family. But today was one of those Saturdays. And I was kind of down when I finally got off the bus at about 5:30 this afternoon. But in... Comment - Like

Elder David A. Bednar was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in October Conference of 2004, filling one of the two places vacated when Elders Neal A. Maxwell and David B. Haight passed away. Elder Bednar’s powerful and eloquent speaking style made him a favorite among Church members. An... Comment - Like

So… as a result of paying Uncle Sam too much in taxes this year, I received an artificial windfall this month (see, it’s artificial because it was my money all along, and if I’d figured my taxes more precisely, I could have stuck the same amount in the bank and earned interest myself instead o...

It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve put up a new post. But Jamie left a comment on the “My Story” page, and my response got so long and involved, I thought it deserved its own post. So Jamie, here are my thoughts:
Hi Jamie. First of all, thanks for dropping by and leaving a com... Comment - Like

I made my first post on Jan. 11, 2008, exactly one year ago yesterday. And now, exactly 1 year, 1 week, and 2 days after my first post, we will be inaugurating our first black president. Coincidence? I think not, and here’s why. For something to be a “coincidence,” there has to be at l... Comment - Like
