New Hymnal Controversy
Elder Rasband was quoted as saying that creating the hymns “gave us a glimpse of what the war in heaven must have been like.” Now that is funny.
We’re in the last days — you can quote me on that
We are in the last days. In the last days the only way you will know the truth is through the Holy Ghost. You must know how to recognize and feel the Holy Ghost.

Top 10 LDS Movies
I thought I would take a moment and share a few of my favorite LDS Movies. Some are relatively new like Witnesses and Fighting Preacher, others are classics like Legacy and The Testaments.

The widowed, elder man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son’s trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.

We need to believe that with prayer and pleading and personal righteousness, we really can ascend to “Mount Zion, … the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.”
