Well, for the most part, the people magnifying callings are humble and spiritual. Those qualities are certainly important in leadership. You...

Lol. For now he's the pony we can find.

Apparently, this is what it took to survive... 10 employees and 5 customers took refuge in this bank vault.

My two daughters are absolute opposites when it comes to the LDS church. My oldest is borderline obsessive. Everything in her life is about the LDS...

This is a good point. I agree that everyone can be more sensitive, but lots of places refer to "the Church". For many it just means a Christain...

This is true. It is just the other nights that he doesn't pitch that gets me.

Oh I agree. I hate hearing stories about LDS parents not letting their kids be friends with people just because they aren't memebers of the LDS...

You're saying that Stanford's schedule becomes LIGHT YEARS tougher if UCLA, UofA, and ASU play wimpier schedule? So you're trying to make an argument...

Dawm the major difference is the Catholics do not treat non-Catholics with the same dismissive attitude or in many cases outright disdain that I...

Thanks for sharing, Ma'ake. First and foremost, your candor is admirable. Some thoughts I had as I read through your account: 1) I don't think the...

This is a pet peeve of mine. It drives me absolutely crazy. Not because Mormons are so insensitive, but because they are accused of being so. I lived...

This is funny!

And this is where I have big issues. If the most humble and spiritual are not given local level leadership and higher level leadership (church HQ)...

Correct, this is a geographical thing. Wards outside of Utah cover a larger geographic area and that produces a congregation with a wider variety of...

This is a horrible example, because Stanford needed officiating help and OT to beat Notre Dame, while 'Bama destroyed the Irish. Right there, the...

Well at least we have Kershaw. He's fun to watch.

:rofl: What was I thinking?

Ma'ake, I feel for you. I really do. I am a "recovering Mormon" myself and the good news is that I'm almost fully recovered -- having my name off...

For those who don't know, the Tribune columnist Robert Kirby was a police officer in Utah County for several years prior to his writing gig He had...

This is my approach too. My son is a late August birthday. He's already 99% in height, he's also only turning 3 in August. Please let his size be an...

I will neither confirm nor deny that I snorted and literally LOL'ed at this one.

I honestly believe those parents who kept their children from associating with me did so out of fear, not malice. They're not secure in their...

I don't worry about Frison. His uncle is Jason Hooks(who was the person who announced his commitment on Utezone), and we are soooooo far ahead of...

247 likes Mone. And they just moved Frison up to number 2 in the state! I hope we can hold on to him.

Don't let the SEC homers push you around. Pretty much all the stuff you say about them is true - they play relatively weak schedules, they don't...

Which majority? Rivals favors Barton, Scout favors Mone. I don't know where 24/7 stands. There is plenty of dissenting opinion on this. I think...

They were just talking on the radio show I listen to about how a couple of the 1st grade teachers laid on their students and did whatever they could...

Upsets are more frequent in hockey. The kings won it all as an 8 seed last year on the back of their goal tending. If you have a hot goalie you can...

They have only played the 2nd best team once because they already beat them in the SEC conference title game. The one time was when Bama played LSU....

I don't know what to say about this. I wish I could think of something to say. Words come so much easier when humans cause this kind of destruction.
