Last night we finally watched Tristan and Isolde, a movie that I had mildly wanted to see for a long time but never had the motivation to rent when presented with more flashy Hollywood titles. In my review I have several positive comments and one negative one. (Guess which one I’m going to explore in […]
Among its many identities, the Book of Mormon is a tragedy given gravity by the millions of spiritual and physical deaths it chronicles. For those who view the main story’s arc over its thousand-year span, it is difficult not be impressed by the pathos and gravitas inherent in Mormon’s closing observations as he watches […]
You know the story. It’s about a man who sought glory and power through bloodshed, intrigue, and treachery. His name: Amalickiah, the Nephite dissenter. Amalickiah was an evil man who would do anything to obtain the throne. During his illegitimate rise to power, he used flattery, deceit, and murder to persuade […]

It is rare for me to come across full-time missionaries that I really like. Most of the missionaries I come across are quite forgettable, others are memorable for the wrong reasons. Living in a small and somewhat isolated ward missionaries are hard to avoid. There was a long stretch when we had three sets serving […]
I’m revisiting my hunting post with a vengeance today.
I was listening to a radio show on my way to church on Sunday wherein a radio host answers questions as though he were Jesus (a topic for a whole other post). I happen to think that it’s a good show and that whoever the host is, […]

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (John 4:23)
Journeying through life, nothing matters as much as my moral compass.
