Last night, my wife and I attended the open house for the new Orem Utah Temple. When it is dedicated, it will be our temple. So I was pleased to see how pretty it is on the interior. Particularly its carpets and its stained glass windows. I’ve been disappointed at being unable to volunteer for the open house, but our travel schedule of late has made it completely impossible. And, speaking of travel, we’re off again in order... Read more

Choose one or more of our books for gifting and feel the serenity descend once more upon your troubled soul. Have a look at a list... Read more

In case you haven’t seen or read it yet: “The First Presidency’s 2023 Christmas Message.” And please note that the annual annual First Presidency Christmas devotional broadcast is scheduled for a week from today, on Sunday, 3 December 2023. And then, of course, there’s this: “Temple Square Offering Christmas Experiences for 2023 Season: Lights turn on and most activities begin Friday, November 24” I presume that this will be available on KBYU-FM as well, although I’m not...

While we were in Virginia recently, we not only took the time to visit some Civil War battlefields but to take family members to Jamestown — the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, famously associated with Pocahontas — out by Williamsburg, and, in the other direction, to Carter Mountain, near Charlottesville. In preparation for the Jamestown visit, some of us watched the 1995 Disney film Pocahontas. (Age appropriate, and all that.). And, of course, at Carter Mountain... Read more

I hope that you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday (where applicable). Over the past couple of days, the following note was sent out to the Interpreter Foundation’s email lists and went up on the Foundation’s websites: We are approaching Giving Tuesday and the month of December, when the hearts of many (in the United States, at least) turn to charity or, anyway, to tax deductions. We know that there are thousands of worthy causes out there,... Read more

Happy Thanksgiving! Both of these columns appeared in the Deseret News in connection with Thanksgiving 2019. Although I have a few more of these, they are (mercifully) the last of the Thanksgiving-themed columns that I intend to resurrect here this year: As we in the United States approach the national Thanksgiving holiday for 2019, it’s appropriate to consider things for which we should express our gratitude. Obviously, of course, there’s the good food that many of... Read more

I’m finally finding a few stolen moments in which to begin reading Richard Lyman Bushman’s newest book, Joseph Smith’s Gold Plates: A Cultural History (New York: Oxford University Press, 2023), and here is a chain of related passages from it that I would like to share with you: As his [Joseph Smith’s] account made clear, the plates were both of the earth and of heaven. They were mundane, material, historical, on the one hand, and divine, mysterious, holy, on... Read more

You might justly view yesterday’s blog entry here as a full-length installment from the Christopher Hitchens Memorial “How Religion Poisons Everything” File™. In a very real sense, that is exactly what it was, and I hope that you’ll take the opportunity not only to buy something yourself but to call the opportunity to the attention of others. I already called attention a few days back to a brief excerpt from an Interpreter Foundation interview with Elder Dale G.... Read more
