I have always found it very profound that those of us who are righteous all wear the armor of righteousness. It’s such a testament of the Truthfulness of righteousness and the strength or armor.
A very sincere brother who is “looking” recently asked me about my righteousness. It happens quite often, as I am […]

ZD had a great post a few weeks ago for April Fools day. They called it: Renouncing The Philosophies of Women, Mingled With Scripture.

While I hesitate to use such bawdy, contemporary language, there is really no other way to say it. This is very cool!
We all know that in the last days the constitution will hang by a thread and that the church will save this great country. But do we know where that […]

We recently passed what would have been the 36th birthday of my best friend growing up. His name was Kevin and he passed away a few years ago. When I heard the news, I sat and wrote as many stories as I could remember. Those narratives live with me now — they […]

There has been some noise on this site lately about the postmortem conversion of some of our most prominent early U.S. political figures (thank you Brother Marrón). (By the way, 10 points for anyone who can tell me the significance of the name Ixtlilxochitl to Mormon Folklore).
I think it is safe to […]
