Re: How do you forgive?

We are all in charge of writing our own narrative. Perhaps you could add this to yours: "Jinx decided that dwelling on regrets ultimately took too much energy and only tended to be self-perpetuating. Jinx decided to call a halt to those regrets and chose the realization that life goes on and that wh...

Hallelujah on the Salt Flats

This seemed like a good rendition of the Leonard Cohen song by some fantastic singers known as Pentatonix:

One other song if you like that kind of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9LJDwZOprY

Re: Moderators, hosting, and other admin

It was expressed to me to quit asking to have Zadok reinstated. I think the mods were taking a cue from a soda pop bottle falling out of a giant flying bird that made a humming noise. Glad they did not apply that cue to penguins. I think it would be nice for not all mods to think alike. That way the...

Re: What are you drinking right now?

Diet Coke. Chilled, not stirred or shaken.

Can you be a man and take it from the can,
Or must you be a lass and take it from the glass?

Re: Politics Post - Evan McMullin

President McMullin will make sure the Smithsonian has a Nephite exhibit.

It might be required for President McMullin to have a cage match with Mitt Romney's dancing pony Rafalca in order to claim the White Horse title.

Speaking of recipes for SPAM, Monty Python has a few: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE

Did learn on another message board some years ago that Spam is a Philippines favorite.

Re: What art captures your experience and emotions?

Literature has had a profound effect on my perception of life and my values. The spoken word has also contributed greatly. My favorite art forms currently are video games and message boards. Movies and TV programs to a lesser extent. All of these art forms are improved by adding in overlays of humor...

Re: An encounter on an airline

Great title. I am imagining an encounter on Pan Am flight 1023 back in 1956 between Apostle and Champion Commie Fighter, Ezra Taft Benson and an up and coming young singer named Elvis Presley. They had been assigned as seat mates in first class and the airline had instructed the stewardesses and pil...

There is a search function under the "Quick Links" menu on the upper left. Is there a different search function you need?

Re: What improvements would you want for church?

Can only think of three things right now: 1. Greater honesty in Church history. 2. Acceptance of diversity among Church members. Specifically, let Gays be gay, let NOMs be free to think and express their thoughts, and realize that we should never encourage Mormons throughout the world to adopt the p...

The latest Utah Presidential poll: Trump - 30% McMullin - 29% Clinton - 24% My own prediction is that when the majority of Utah voters enter the polling booth, they will go into a religious trance and press the straight Republican button. Once they leave the polling place, they will snap out of the ...

Re: Potential Relay Station for Kolob

Twisting the solar-system as it does has twisted something in our brains causing us to have a crisis of faith and to forget the overwhelming spiritual witnesses we have received. A very astute observation. Perhaps it is like being moon-struck, but with much greater gravitational force. One thing is...

Re: An image to show how things are here.

Holding the iron rod at an elevation of an extra 20 feet sounds wise. It is not a case of deserting the tulips as much as preserving future tithe payers.
