According to my calculations either today or tomorrow our Church should pass the 13 Million member mark. I wonder how long until we hit 20 Million? I think it will be much quicker than most imagine. Of course, on the other side of the viel we are growing by leaps and bounds now with Temple's dotting t...

So I just found out I got a 33% on a final exam I took yesterday. The first test I got a 68%, so I had the strength to try harder for the next test, and study harder, and I got a 45%. The next test I didn't have as much time, but spent a whole lot of time studying what we'd been doing in class, and he pulled out 4 pro...

Our ward will soon be having it's Father's and Son's outing. Do your wards have the yearly event? In our stake the wards do it one year, the stake the next. Always near the anniversary of the restoration of the priesthood in the month of May.

The first counselor called and wants to talk to MrCoco and myself. For the first time, I just have no desire to hear what he has to say. I'm not interested in a different calling, I'm just... not interested. What's wrong with me?

Please share experiences that are not too personal or too spiritual you have had with the hymns, if you are so inclined and feel it may help edify others in their faith. There are several hymns that depending on my spiritual needs, have a profound and hopefully lasting impact upon me. Sometimes, I fin...

Mahonri's post about what you probably shouldn't share in Sacrament Mtg, and the inspired thread-drift has made me wonder what you think Heaven is like? What do you imagine it will be like for you? Clearly there's no wrong answers here... A lot of mormons are guilty of espousing the "being gods o...

Our wonderful stake president set a goal for our stake this year for "the Next Generation." So if you've done the four generation program a few years ago, do one more, and if you haven't done any, then start, and if you're stuck, help someone else. So about a month ago, the high priests in my wa...

The calling I want right now is only a temporary calling:an adult leader at Girl's Camp. I've been to camp a number of times as a leader in different wards and stakes, but I haven't been in 10 yrs. Part of not going was because I had girls in the program and I didn't want to make them feel li...

Anyone care to reexplain the mysterious and bothersome hymn Come Come Ye Saints, which chorus says, "All is Well, All is Well", yet the Book of Mormon states "Wo unto those who say All is Well in Zion"? Do we sin everytime we sing that hymn? --Ray

I have tried asking this in various places and have never really gotten an answer, and I submit that there may not be one. I have always struggled with an aspect of the Gospel and pretty much taken it on faith, but in reading an article from an old Ensign, it hit me again. As odd as it may sound, it is regardin...

A few years ago, I had a discussion with a Chaplain of another faith about the events in the Garden of Eden. The Chaplain asserted (quite adamantly) that if Adam and Eve had not transgressed, we would all be living in Paradise. He also had quite a diatribe about the weakness of Adam. His position is tha...

I was reading in Joseph Smith History in the PoG last night and came across this verse.

What do you when a commandment hits you as though it were "the first time"? So often it is a common sense thing that I should've thought of... often I find others completely disregarding the same commandment. Do you get down on yourself? Do you immediately comply? Do you even know how to comp...
