My father was born 110 years ago today, in a largely Scandinavian area of rural North Dakota. Teddy Roosevelt had first visited the Dakota Territory just thirty years before, in 1883, where he was enthralled by the “western” lifestyle and set out to become a cattle rancher. North Dakota had attained statehood in 1889, twenty-four years before Dad’s birth. The Lutheran church that my father and his family attended was served by circuit-riding clergymen who still alternately preached... Read more

Filming for the Interpreter Foundation’s new “Six Days in August” movie project has been underway in Canada since Monday morning. That’s both exciting and, well, worrying. If you feel any inclination to include our film crew and our actors in your prayers, I won’t oppose you in that. So far, I’m told, things are going well. Newly posted on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: Conference Talks: “Where I Will Meet You”: The Convergence of... Read more

With friends — unaccountably, I do have friends — my wife and I spent almost all of today at and around Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park. There are places in my adopted home state that, I’m compelled to say, are absolutely glorious. We finished our excursion off with simple but surprisingly good food at the Moab Diner. The website of the Interpreter Foundation continues to show flickering signs of life! Today, for... Read more

Today has, of course, been the anniversary of the terrorist attacks against New York City and Washington DC and the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 that brought that airliner down in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all aboard. There’s very little that I can say about the events of those days, if anything, that would be fresh or that would provide any fresh insights into one of the best known horrors of modern history. So I... Read more

An outline of Egyptian history

From the Christopher Hitchens Memorial “How Religion Poisons Everything” File™: “Church Leaders Express Sympathy, Offer Support after Earthquake in Morocco.” I’ll be accompanying a tour to Egypt next month. So here’s a chronology of basic Egyptian history that I think I’ll give out to participants in the group. I make absolutely no claim to originality here; I’ve consulted four other timelines, thus far. And this is a work in progress. I’ll probably include just a bit... Read more

Kindly guided by one of the members of our host family, who is a member at the Center, we spent several hours on Saturday at Space Center Houston, including a tram and walking tour at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, which is located directly next door. Neil Armstrong’s famous statement upon landing on the surface of the Moon — “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” — showed up at several places, e.g. in displays and...

With my late friend Bill Hamblin (whom I miss literally every day), I published the article immediately below back on 12 October 2004. I wrote this one; the Hsi Lai Temple sits just over the hill from the home in which my parents spent their final three decades (and where my nephew and his family currently live) and was built while they were living in the area. There was some opposition to its construction back in the day,... Read more

The adventure begins: Our movie crew heads out on Friday. They will start filming for Six Days in August at Upper Canada Village, in Ontario, on Monday, 11 September.

Following that, there will be several days of filming at the LDS Motion Picture Studio during the first half of October. I’m pleased that we’ve come this far. I... Read more
