I know, right? I have to read it super slow to make sure I catch everything. And if you think reading is slow, you should try writing it. lol

And yes, we should totes do lunch.

And it came to pass that the two headed alien from the far away eastern shore wast in the land of the flaming bird. But lo, he was not known to the party seeking the bitter drink. He did not meet with them and was greatly saddened on the marrow when he doth learn of his loss. Dang! I was in Phoenix ...

That was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this line.

since he never liked mustard and rust anyway

So, Red Ryder, Beetbox, Corsair and I all headed up from the East Valley to a German brewery/restaurant in North Phoenix last night. Thank you to Corsair for being our DD. We got to watch ASU beat down on UCLA while drinking German beer on the eve of General Conference. Just three years ago on this ...

...that there were many lamentations in the arid lands of the zone of the south west. For the small group of unbelievers had the misfortune of residing in the land of the believers. And so it came to pass that on the eve of the gathering of the believers, that Red Ryder, beetbox, Corsair and AZflyer ...

As I sit at my keyboard this morning, my family, my brother, my parents, and three of my children are gathering outside the temple to celebrate the wedding of my brother to his new wife; did I make the right decision? Am I just being petty? Why didn't I just fake another TR interview? Why didn't I ...

I like that. It's the truth. I was not invited.

After watching seven younger siblings all get married in the temple, my youngest brother is finally getting married. And for the first time, with no TR, I am not welcome to see my brother be married. I talked to my brother a few months ago and gently suggested he consider doing a civil ceremony ...

Brother Graey, I have anot posted here in quite a while. A little Red bird suggested I should come here and read your story. As I read the words you had written, my heart swelled with happiness, and the begginings of little droplets of "moisture" started to form in my eyes. During my departure from ...

How have any of you dealt with the feeling of no longer belonging to a group? I miss it. I've been making lots of new friends, but all of my friends are really different kinds of people. And I'm not saying that is bad. I'm just saying it's different. When I went to church, all of my friends were ...

I'm pretty sure I could challenge this claim...

What!?!?!? You're back here too?

...My comments are unwelcome and make everyone feel uncomfortable, please do not share them. I don't think anybody has given any thought that this could be a two way street and their gushing about Elder so and so make me feel uncomfortable. There has to be a way for you to politely had courteously ...

In the last three days I've had: 1) My daughter was asked to be the ward chorister - She turned it down 2) I was asked to take a new calling - I turned it down 3) I was asked to play the piano at ward event - I said no Prior to that, I was asked to give the opening prayer in church - I said yes to ...

To add: Just my experience, but when they ask specific questions like, "When is your son going to be baptized? We want to make sure to attend"....... etc., just give a very nondescript response like, "We'll be sure to keep in touch", and so forth. Ya, I've been thinking of this too. It just... It ...

Did you ever have a situation where your mother called you and asked, "Oh, little Jeffret is trying 8 next month. When is his baptism? We want to be there."

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted here. Quite a bit has changed in my faith life since then. I'm hoping I can get some support and guidance from many of you wise people. First, some background. I'm 38 years old and married to a really awesome mentally out wife. We have five kids ...

This isn't news to anyone here.

This sounds like a really great opportunity!!! If this were me, I'd definitely make Isaiah 1:18 a focus of my talk. "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Often ...

I finally got around to watching this. I found that one of the most fascinating points that were made by the scientists was how empathetic they were to the flat-earthers. There was the one that was stating the flat earthers are people that have been left behind by science. They aren't dumb, they ...
