Posted in Faith, Prayer on November 18, 2011 | 9 Comments »

If you’re an NFL fan, like I am, you’ve probably been amazed by the turnaround of the Denver Broncos season since their evangelical Quarterback, Tim Tebow began starting for them.  Watching him for most of a football game is painful.  He misses passes constantly, hardly converts on 3rd downs, and overthrows his wide-receivers.  On paper [...]

In Gene R. Cook’s book entitled “Raising a Family to the Lord“, he states the following: You amy have a child with whom you are struggling.  When appropriate, kneeling in prayer with the child could have a much greater impact than anything you might say in resoning with him or her.  Children need to see prayer [...]

Posted in Faith, God, Holy Ghost, Prayer, Spirituality on July 28, 2009 | 11 Comments »

Periodically I read the blog Musings on Mormonism.  It is a blog from a former LDS member who is juggling family and spirituality and posts blogs that for the most part appear to be sincere.

Thoughts about the LDS Phrase: “When I was on my Mission…”

Posted in Faith, Latter-day Saints, Prayer on March 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »

They ruin [...]

03-07-08  Recently this post was posted on the postmormon.com website and I have received many comments from former members who are eager to debate doctrine.  My intention with this post was not to debate whether Joseph Smith was a prophet or the LDS church is true/false, etc.  Any comments made that are not uplifting or off-topic will be deleted.  [...]
