The first time I went through the temple it really freaked me out. What people wore and what they did and what they said, etc. It made me wonder what all the hype is growing up in the church and wanting to prepare for the temple. I didn’t start feeling the Spirit or trying to [...]

Washington Post Article on LDS Church part 1 (Converts to the Church)
Posted in Christianity, Church, Latter-day Saints, tagged Latter-day Saints, LDS, Mormons on February 11, 2008 | 11 Comments »
I recently read a post from the mormonmissionblog that reported a recent article in the Washington Post (I coincidentally work for them) on the challenges the LDS church faces. In the article it discusses the decline in the number of converts to the LDS faith (a decline of 8% to 3%), the poor retention rate [...]
Dobson Switches Endorsement to Huckabee
Posted in Politics, tagged James Dobson, Mike Huckabee on February 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The day after I posted that the Christian conservative leader for Focus on the Family had given Mitt Romney the nod (see my post by clicking here), Mitt dropped out of the race. Now Dobson has officially endorses Huckabee as his candidate. Who knows? Maybe Huckster can pull it off. He won two states tonight [...]
What is a Christian?
Posted in Christianity, Mormon Christians, Spirituality, tagged Athiest, Christian, Christianity, Evangelism, Mormon, Spirituality on February 8, 2008 | 6 Comments »
What is Christianity? In my opinion, it is living and adhering to the truths that Jesus taught. We all know the truths. Even those who aren’t Christian can’t deny their truth and goodness. Love your neighbor as yourself; love your enemies, love God, the fruits of the Spirit; the virtues taught by Paul (belief, hope, charity, faith); [...]
Transcript of Romney’s “Suspension” Speech

As you probably know, Mitt dropped out of the race today. He gave a very good speech on conservative values and why he decided to drop out. My hope is that he’ll be back or someone that has his same values. Here’s the speech: http://www.sltrib.com/ci_8196972
Dr Dobson from Focus on the Family endorses Mitt Romney
Posted in Christianity, tagged Focus on the Family, James Dobson, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics on February 6, 2008 | 7 Comments »
This is huge! If you consider yourself a conservative Christian and you want someone with conservative values in the White House you must vote for Romney. Dr Dobson said in a statement yesterday that a vote for Huckabee is essentially a vote for McCain and if McCain wins the nomination he won’t vote. Read his [...]

Making our Hearts a Manger
Posted in God, Jesus, Spirituality, tagged Child, Christian, Christianity, God, Jesus, Love, Spirituality on February 5, 2008 | 6 Comments »
After we finished excersizing today I collapsed to the floor by our bookshelves in the living room and said “Whew! I’m going to sleep right here!” I turned my head to the side and was about to close my eyes when I noticed one of my old German poetry books from college. I hadn’t looked [...]
Why do People leave the LDS Church?
Posted in Church, Joseph Smith, Latter-day Saints, Mormon Christians, tagged Book of Mormon, Faith, Latter-day Saints, LDS, Mormons on February 4, 2008 | 52 Comments »
I have deep roots in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My fourth great-grandfather was the first bishop of the church, Edward Partridge. Amasa Lyman was one of my ancestors as well and he was an apostle and a polygamist. In addition, I’ve had many great spiritual experiences within the church and served [...]
Humanitarian Statistics for the Church of Jesus Christ

My 4th great-grandfather, Edward Partridge was a wealthy business owner when missionaries, including Parley P Pratt introduced him to the gospel. Upon his conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Edward forsook all he had including his business and his family disowned him. However, Edward was steadfast stating: “I have torn my affections from this world’s [...]
