Traditional Marriage Essential in God’s Plan
October 31, 2008 by DH
Filed under LDS Beliefs
If Adam and Eve hadn’t married, and had children, we would not be here. This act stresses the importance of family on our lives. And obviously, we’re here because our parents had children. Personally, I have been raised in a good family, which after having seen the effects of something to the contrary in other’s [...]
Christianity in Egypt

Filed under Mormon Middle East
I wanted to point out an article I recently read in The National Post dealing with Christianity in Egypt and the persectuion Christians are facing in that country. I have done similar posts in the past about Christianity in China, Iraq, Pakistan and India. I find it very interesting how it is accepted (or opposed) in these non-Christian [...]

The LDS Church recently announced that the open house and dedication for the extensively renovated Mexico City Temple will be held in the months of October and November. There are many beautiful pictures over at the LDS Newsroom and I encourage you to go take a look.
Looking at the pictures I couldn’t help but [...]

With life keeping me very busy lately I have just been able to do the occasional post about articles that I read and find interesting. Hopefully very soon I can sit down and pound out an “original” post with my thoughts on some exhilarating subject. For now, I read another article that I found intriguing and wanted [...]

Filed under Mormon Politics
As time rolls on, we see over and over again that the “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” is an inspired document. Here are some excerpts that directly apply to what we are seeing today in California.
“We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of [...]

It was my intent to try and aggregate all the details that have emerged to this point in relation to the five new temples that were announced last week. But before I got to it another blogger did it much better than I would have ever done. So for any of you looking for more [...]

LDS Branch in mainland China
October 9, 2008 by DH
Filed under Mormon Asia
Having written quite a bit on the presence of the LDS Church in countries where it is just establishing itself, I read an interesting article over at Mormon Times the other day entitled: “Members find International family“. The article is about a small LDS Branch in China. It’s worth your time if you have a [...]
My Words…Never Cease
October 7, 2008 by DH
Filed under LDS Beliefs
The talk “My Words…Never Cease” by Jeffrey R. Holland (One of the 12 Apostles) was given in the April 2008 General Conference.
This is an excellent talk on the idea of continuing revelation. If God could reveal His holy word to Prophets in ages past, (Hence why we have the Bible) could He not do it [...]

For those temple-fanatics out there, I just saw an article over at ksl.com that cites the statistic that “82% of church members worldwide live within 200 miles, which is about 3 hours driving time of a temple.” Click on over for a quick and intersting read about temple building.

Filed under Mormon Temples
I couldn’t help but post immediately as President Monson just announced 5 new temples! They will be in:
Cordoba, Argentina
Rome, Italy
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Calgary, Alberta
Greater Kansas City Area
Very exciting news for all church members and even more so for temple-fanatics like myself. Interesting that he would say “greater Kansas city” area instead of Independence so that people don’t [...]

Filed under Mormoncopia
With General Conference just a day away, I couldn’t help but think of the following verses and the promises they give us:
Doctrine and Covenants 21:4-6
4. “Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; [...]
