For quite a number of years, I wrote a regular weekly column for the Deseret News. (Every other week, I also co-wrote another, separate, column for the Deseret News with my late, lamented friend Bill Hamblin.) I published this particular column in the News very nearly eleven years ago. Under the circumstances, it was all that I could do. Our firstborn grandchild would have been eleven today. I can’t help but think of all of the experiences with her... Read more

An important new entry in an important series of blog posts has just gone up on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: “The Heartland Versus Mesoamerica Part 9: Population Density and Social Complexity,” by Brant A. Gardner. “A lie,” Mark Twain (along with a number of others) is incorrectly alleged to have said, “can travel all around the world before the truth has got its boots on.” I doubt that the handful of merry madcaps over at the Peterson...

Some notes on the origin of life and the Shroud of Turin

A little article of mine went up this morning in Meridian Magazine: “When “Great” Men Are Anything But: Rethinking Power Through the Lens of Christ” Statues may rise for those called “great,” but history often forgets the blood they shed to get there. The world crowns the conqueror, but heaven sees greatness another way. I have never had strong feelings or a firm opinion about the famous Shroud of Turin and, although I find it interesting, I haven’t spent a... Read more

As I’ve noted here, I was born to a marginally active Latter-day Saint mother and a nominally Protestant father. It was many years before I discovered the depth of the roots of my maternal family in the Restoration. But I want to say something about one of my ancestors here. Polly Peck was born in Cumberland County, New York, on 16 April 1774, two years before the Declaration of Independence was written. She married Joseph Knight in Windham County,... Read more

One of my nephews — my late brother’s eldest son — has been in town, along with a daughter of his who is participating in a camp at BYU. On Thursday evening, they took us out to dinner at AjiPeru. I enjoyed the lomo saltado and washed it down with glasses of cold chicha morada and maracuya. (I’m not even remotely a “foodie,” but describing meals and menus clearly drives a few of my anonymous online critics mad[der], which... Read more

Eighty-one years ago today, Allied troops came ashore on the beaches of Normandy during “Operation Overlord,” more widely known as the “D-Day” invasion. Although much fighting, suffering, destruction, and death remained to be endured, it was the beginning of the end of the Third Reich. The debt that we owe to those who fought on the coast of France, and especially to those who gave their lives on that horrible day, can never be repaid. And it should never... Read more
