Over the past few years, I have become fascinated by the concept of adoption. After my wife and I were married, we were blessed with two children very quickly.

For all that might be said about Mormon culture and any of its associated foibles and weaknesses, there is one thing that I will always love about “those Mormons.” The attribute of Mormon’s that I love so much is something that has gotten them, as a people, through some of the most troubling times any…
UPDATE – I recently wrote a book based on this blog post in case you are interested: You can find The Cultural Evolution Inside of Mormonism book on Amazon if you’re interested. — I’ve had many experiences lately with people online and offline that lead me to believe that there’s a coming revolution that will be taking…
Too many people are neglecting what is in the scriptures and trying to “customize Christ”. You can’t do that…seriously. Too often we read a few scriptures that make us feel good and then omit everything else that we know about Jesus that might make us feel bad. Some have bowed down to modern trends and allowed…
The day I hit the mission field, it was February 5th and the snow was going sideways instead of straight down. Three weeks before that I was surfing North side Pier in Oceanside wondering how I was going to pull off serving a mission. I never dreamed my first step into the mission field would be…

About two years ago, I wrote a blog called “A Letter From A Dad To Carl’s Jr. and The Women in Their Commercials.” That article set off a Twitter storm with this tweet: “Love your food, hate your commercials” which subsequently bombarded Carls Jr.’s Twitter mentions feed. When it happened… it told me a couple things:…
If you were watching general conference this Sunday morning, your heart probably melted as you watched President Monson’s physical strength begin to fail on him in front of the entire Church. He started strong, and then all of the sudden it was as if an entire lifetime of church service came crashing down on to…
