LDS Stake Conference Was Not Boring: A Tweet For Every Day of The Month

I've discovered that I learn a lot more in any meeting when I take notes. Twitter works very well for this purpose. When all was said and done, I produced 31 different tweets during today's LDS Stake Conference in Santaquin, Utah. And it was NOT boring. I hope you like some of them.

  1. Tithing & Temple-We should be glad to pay 10% of nearly nothing in exchange for being sealed to our family forever. 
  2. Family Home Evening #FHE is successful even if all you do is have good refreshments!!! 
  3. When we do something, it may seem like sacrifice, but when we're blessed for doing it, we see that it wasn't. 
  4. Church members in Tierra del Fuego drive 30 hours to attend temple. Members in Santaquin UT drive 30 MINUTES.
  5. 1,000 years from now wealth and earthly title will have meant nothing.
  6. The line of God's priesthood authority goes from Jesus Christ directly to Thomas S Monson.
  7. Quorum presidencies--especially youth--are like mini-bishoprics as they learn to do their duty.
  8. If you feel comfortable in the celestial room of the temple, you will probably feel comfortable in God's presence.
  9. Doctrine and Covenants 121-To preside is NOT to dictate or to abuse others.
  10. Parents: Your children will not gain a testimony by osmosis, but thru teaching and example.
  11. Each stake of the Church holds enough keys to function independently of Salt Lake City.
  12. God shares his power through priesthood "keys". Keys have geographical boundaries, such as in wards and stakes.
  13. God wants all of his children to return home to him, and that is accomplished through temple ordinances.
  14. To more successfully attend the temple, set a schedule, so that it becomes a habit.
  15. The Holy Spirit will not come into our lives without some sort of invitation.
  16. We may have been confirmed a member of the Church but never truly chosen to "receive the Holy Ghost".
  17. The witnesses and teaching that we receive of the Spirit are evidence of God's existence.
  18. Questions to God require faith and pondering. God will probably not answer our question if we never ask it.
  19. One main reason we have Doctrine & Covenants as scripture is because Joseph Smith had a lot of questions.
  20. Have u ever been to a boring Sacrament Meeting? If so, you were unprepared...
  21. Don't put my testimony on a shelf. Either build on it or I will step further and further away from the light
  22. If we bind(commit)selves to act in his service,we will receive God's glory http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/43/9-10#9
  23. One reason LDS church members meet together-to receive revelation together http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/43/9-10#9
  24. Book of Mormon-Alma 19:9-10 Great faith (not blind obedience) is one of greatest skills we can develop http://bit.ly/b0Cx9j
  25. Be a servant to those in other cultures rather than exalting ourselves above them
  26. If we attend temple monthly it may feel like obligation. if we attend more often it begins to feel like blessing
  27. Learn of other cultures so rather than wanting to kill them we want to share gospel with them
  28. Each time a temple is built satans power is lessened.
  29. To prepare for payson ut temple church members can regularly attend the temple we have--in provo
  30. Married couples should set a date as a goal to when they will serve a mission together.
  31. As we serve our kindred dead in temples we are protected from storms of the last days.

School Vouchers: "The Bramble Memo"

$429 million? What? Where? The legislative fiscal analyst for the State of Utah calculated the costs to the public schools over the next 13 years if school vouchers are implemented. It said the costs would be $5.5M in the first year, and $71M in the 13th year. Suddenly, the number I have started seeing thrown around was $429 million, the total costs for vouchers over 13 years. Where did that number come from? Enter the mysterious "Bramble Memo". In the past few days several of us (Jeremy, Utah Taxpayer, Craig, Sara, Urban Koda, Jesse, and me) have (sometimes?) enjoyed a lively discussion about school vouchers in Utah . Jeremy clarified to me the costs of the venture by linking to a copy of the Utah Legislative Fiscal Analyst's Impartial Analysis (LFA) of the costs of Vouchers , found on "The Senate Site". In my previous voucher article, I quoted some of Lavar Webb's article from last Sunday's Deseret News, wherein he stated that those total costs ...

Why Do Liberals Coddle the Radical Islamic Monster?

Many liberals and progressives in the United States and elsewhere support a radical Islamic fundamentalist movement which, if it came to power, would quickly wipe out their liberal progressive ideology. Why then, do so many liberals coddle the monster that would destroy them? The Answer lies in their long-stemmed hatred of Western liberty and free markets. Dick Morris' new revelation of Hillary Clinton's ties to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism provides an excellent backdrop for me to ask the question that Greg Allen of The Right Balance has been asking for quite some time, to wit: If many liberals stand for free sexuality, homosexuality, the use of drugs, binge drinking, and other mindless expressions of individuality, why do so many of them also look the other way when it comes to Islamic fundamentalism? Don't they know that Iran has put to death as many as 4,000 homosexuals? Don't they know that if Islamists come to power they will not only make sexual perversi...

The Inhumanity of Bob Lonsberry: Waterboarding, Concentration Camps, and the the Bataan Death March

KNRS 570 radio talk show host Bob Lonsberry advocated waterboarding and other forms of torture during his show on April 21, 2009. More grotesquely, he was beaming with pride about his advocacy campaign. It's difficult to imagine then, that, by the same rationale, had Lonsberry been a German at the time of Hitler, or a Japanese during the Bataan Death March, that he would not have advocated torture of Jews in the concentration camps or the bayoneting and shooting of American soldiers on the Bataan trail. Torture, Torture, Everywhere! Nearly 80,000 American soldiers were captured by the Japanese in the To contemplate a discussion about whether or not torture is legal or whether it even works, it is first required to come to the conclusion that 'I am a child of God, but my adversary is a monkey'. Phillipines in 1942 and forced to march with no food and very little water for six days. If a man stumbled, if he didn't respond quickly to a command, or if he tried to get wat...
