New Features

We just had an Young Single Adult Education Conference here in Boston, which Elder M. Russell Ballard, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles attended. We got some wonderful instruction about how to share our beliefs with other people, both face to face and on the internet. One of those ways is through a blog, which I was proud to say that I've already had for a few months, now (though that is only because I was obeying the council that Elder Ballard himself gave in a talk about a year ago) but I realized that my blog wasn't connected in any meaningful way with other resources on the web. I guess I should just accept that I am not the ultimate source of infomation on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've put some usefl links in the bar to left to resolve that problem.

Since the purpose of this blog is the share my thoughts on my religion, mostly with a non-Mormon audiance in mind, I figured that I would also expand on my profile info. I want readers of this blog (that means you) to see Mormons as normal people. Yes, I do listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir but I also listen to cool bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay.

So, for all of you non-Mormons, feel free to check out the links and find out more about the church. And if you want to know what Mormons read and watch, feel free to check out my profile (although, I'm not sure I am indicactive of what all Mormons read and watch, because Mormons read and watch all sorts of different things). For all of you Mormons, find out how you can be a presence on the web to share your beliefs as well.

I gave a talk in church a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to posting it to the blog. Enjoy! Judging by what we see, hear, ...
