Mormon Church Makes the News In a Positive Way!

Mormons, along with Jews, were named to be pretty smart about religion -- right behind atheists.  If this were not true, then everyone is really sleeping in church.  We joke about it and we actually do it sometimes, but the revolving door of four years through the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Church History/Doctrine and Covenants plus Seminary/Institute has got to be doing something don't you think? 


If it's not amounting to something, let's just set up cots in the Cultural Halls throughout the Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday-Saints, that is) or just fold up the tent (pulling up the stakes) haha, haha and trudge off into the night.  


The Church is true.  I can't imagine any other Church getting people to sit through three hours of of those manuals year after year.  This is spoken with solid testimony with only a tiny bit of sarcasm slapped in.  Thank you, Lord.  Thank you, Heavenly Father.  I'm sincerely thankful.

Some Stuff to Bug You When You Need It

All of us can use a little help.  The following link is one that will send periodic nags that will remind you and me to do various things at various times -- water the plants, practice the piano, take medication, call someone, return a library book, who knows?  It's kinda nice.  Can't we all use someting like this?

The following is one I use every day.  I really developed some sloppy scripture-reading habits after I retired until I found this link and then good old OCD kicked in and every day I get to check off my reading.  If I forget, they remind me I haven't read for a day or two and I'd better snap it up or else.  They really don't do anything, but I get concerned about the scripture police.  They have all kinds of programs going on, including Sunday School, Relief Society, etc.,  and keep track of what you've read so you can look at what you've done and feel just wonderful about yourself.  It's just a dandy thing.  Don't get prideful.  That's the only caveat.
