Oh, just thought of another...

Fourth, Scott Grow--great, great guy.

So, for me, Big 15, 0 out of 2; 70s, 2 for 2, good guys.

Three come to mind. One was that I took Trust Law from Dallin Oaks at BYU law school. Much better person then than what I've seen of him as an "Apostle." The other was Vaughn J. Featherstone. Just an average Joe. Obviously was not going to get elevated to the Big 15. Third was M. Russell Ballard, wh...

Never Moss is what I put on my roof every summer to kill the moss.

I'm not too far from you, and moss and algae have convinced me: entropy is green.

The obstetrician when I was born made the decision--without consulting my parents--to circumscribe me.

Now I have a question too... If Jane and Joe were sealed in the temple in life but divorced in life and they both remarried, are they able to unseal and seal to new people? Yes. But they have to get First Presidency approval to annul the original temple sealings. I wonder how she does that since sh...

Suppose of Jane divorced Joe, Jane went on to marry James. Then Jane died, not sealed to either Joe or James. Does the LDS church in its temples seal Jane vicariously to both Joe and James so that she can pick in the hereafter?

In principle, (according to the handbook) a man can be sealed to more than woman, so long as only one wife is living. (A woman cannot be sealed to more than one man, ever). So it stands to reason that a deceased man can be vicariously sealed to all the women he was married to in life, providing the...

DCP really does read here assiduously!! Yesterday: I recounted an episode in yesterday’s blog entry that was described to me by Karl Ricks Anderson during a 2016 filming project in Kirtland, Ohio. It was about a reprimand given by the Spirit in the Kirtland Temple, according to the man himself, to ...

Suppose Joe was first married to Jane, they divorced because Jane could not have children. Joe then married Jill, had three children and dies, never having been Mormon sealed to Jane or Jill. Does the LDS church do two sealings for dead Joe? One to Jane and then one to Jill so that Joe can have his ...

Our manner of speaking emphasizes, in my view over-emphasizes, gender. "You're a good boy." Is he good just as a boy, or would he also qualify in the speaker's view as a good person too? Why not just say, "you're good"? Our speech habits and patterns categorize us by gender even when the sentence ha...
