This morning I was reading in the Bible and the following verse caused me to ponder about life. This verse is in James 4:14: …For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. As I read this verse in the Bible, I thought about [...]

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. [...]

The other day, my wife asked me, “Can you teach my Sunday School class this Sunday?” She was out of town and there wasn’t a substitute for the 14-15 year old class she teaches. I told her (reluctantly at first) that I would then asked “what’s the lesson on?” She said “Isaiah.” My desire to teach dropped like a rock [...]
