What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season? I've always loved this holiday, and it's only ever so slightly behind Christmas in my mind. I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful that I'm a member of the Lord's church and for Christ's atonement. I'm thankful for a place to live. I'm thankful tha...

Some of you may already be aware of this -- Holocaust victims have still received their ordinances, and the Jews are incensed about it. http://www.sltrib.com/lds/ci_10946362 What do you think?

We moved a lot of heavy stuff into the new house yesterday. We're almost done, and I'll be glad to have it over with. I was really glad to finally get the piano moved. It's an old, heavy piano, and we had to move it down a flight of stairs. Anyway, to get to the point, my three year old really wanted to help. He w...

In my experiences it seems that most of the work done in a ward or branch is always done by a core group of people. There is the regular group that always makes sure things are done, show up to service projects or help out, are willing to sub in classes, etc. Is that the way it is elsewhere?

Based on current events and recent conference talks, when do you think the second coming will happen?

A call center is opening here in Idaho to call Californians and ask them to support Proposition 8 (constitutional amendment proclaiming marriage between one man and one woman). They want twenty people from each ward to work one 2-3 hour shift a week until the election. I got a phone call asking me to pa...

This thread is for your totally off the wall conference predictions. The church will start having a calling of "Matchmaker" in each ward. If you're unmarried after 27, the matchmaker will have the ability to set you up with whoever they think is best for you. Pres. Monson will also announc...

Yesterday one of my coworkers, with much glee, said that someone is offering to pay former boyfriends of Sarah Palin's one million dollars for nude pictures of her. Now, I don't know any more details than what he said. Apparently it's some porn magazine that's offering the reward. Of course this is do...

An email I sent out: I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to my good friend and our Stake Patriarch speaking in Sacrament Meeting today. Some of you also had that opportunity. I hope you felt the spirit as he spoke of patriotism and this country. I hope as we approach Independence Day that...

I don't remember a good Mark of the Beast discussion for some time... Plus lundie seemed to ignore me when I asked him what he thought about it. So... what do you think? Social Security numbers? Credit cards? What?

I was downloading the Book of Mormon Class Member Study Guide to my PDA when I noticed the church finally authorized Preach My Gospel to be released in the same form. *Happy Snoopy Dance*

So I'm glancing through People magazine waiting to check out at Wal-Mart and saw the big spread on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new twins. They had lots of cool pictures of all their multi-colored family. It was all really cool, I though to myself. They travel the world and do tons of humanitarian...

Our Bishop recently gave a combined Priesthood/Relief Society lesson on forgiveness, which got me thinking about it. And I realized that it applies to pet peeves, too. For instance, it drives me mad when people block pathways or corridors. Especially a situation where, for instance, two people ar...

Our Gospel Doctrine teacher made the comment Sunday that our country has been living in prosperity and pride for a long time, and now we're starting to move to the other end of the cycle, where we'll be tried and humble. At first it seemed like a radical statement, but you don't have to look around or watc...

Buddy of mine and I use to carpool together. He and his wife divorced, basically, she did not really want to be married to him because he was not "righteous enough" and incompatability issues. They were married for about 30 years, he is about 16-17 years older than I am. He wondered what it...

First, I want to say that I do not want to discuss the temple ordinances inappropriately. I came across this website in which one woman discusses her experience in the temple. Although I have had difficulty (and still do sometimes) being a single woman making covenants to a husband I don't have, I can...

Yeah, I know...we've heard this before. But the headline caught my eye, so I read it again. This stood out to me: "The document is not available to the public or to women in the Mormon church. In fact, a number of Mormon women wrote us describing how happy they were to see this information...

So we had a HC speaker yesterday and he made a comment about having "good feelings" or feelings of wanting to help/lift/bring up our fellowmen. I was thinking how some women (cuz I's a wymyn) really have this gift -- they see a dirty boogery little kid and really want to scoop them up and help...

Well, I thought I was in a nice branch. Lately, an 11 year old primary girl has been tormenting my youngest, calling him names, jumping on him, trying to hurt. Another boy, about 6 or 7 months older, my son is 8, has been attacking on him, choking him, calling names. Neither set of parents will do anyth...

No one is perfect at keeping the commandments. Hence, we all need Jesus Christ to purify us, else we are unfit for the Kingdom. So, if keeping all the commandments is not a prerequisite for Heaven (CK) - what are they for?

There are people again calling into question the radio carbon dating used on the Shroud of Turin. Now it doesn't matter to me one way or another, faith wise, if this was the burial cloth of Christ. If they prove conclusively beyond a doubt that it is not, I won't lose any sleep over it. I don't think they ca...

In Mormondom we seem to have an aversion to the cross. Now, I don't like the crucifix with Christ on it and not looking for a cross in our chapels or on the steeple. But I find 3 Nephi 27: 14-15 as interesting: 14 And my Father sent me that I might be alifted up upon the bcross; and after that I had been lift...

I wanted to move this from the Earthquake in China thread to have a bit more discussion about it.
