The news out of Syria is stunning. The fall of Damascus and the collapse of the Baathist government there came swiftly, and what it will all mean very much remains to be seen. I will certainly shed no tears over the departure of the Assad regime, and what I’ve heard from the head of the rebels thus far is encouraging. But I remain suspicious. I hope that his seeming moderation isn’t too good to be true. I may well have... Read more

The Christmas season is a busy one. Especially, perhaps, in the United States, where commercialism drives both it and us, and where it falls during a frenetic period known as “the holidays,” preceded by Halloween and Thanksgiving and succeeded by New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day (to mention only a few of the festivities). It’s easy to lose track of what’s really important. One way, perhaps, of staying focused, is to make sure that we attend the temple... Read more

In my opinion, Giving Machines definitely represent one of the most brilliant ideas that I’ve ever encountered with regard to Christmas. They are a fun way to focus on giving during this season, rather than only on eating, drinking, and getting. They are convenient, and fun for children. They offer small and reasonable but specific things to give, both locally and internationally, and all processing or overhead costs are covered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints....

My wife and I took our core film production and film distribution and film bookkeeping group out to dinner last night, both for Christmas and to celebrate the near-conclusion of the dramatic-film portion of our overall Six Days in August project. (One more contract is awaiting completion. The others have been signed. And then it’s onward and upward.) Curiously, by the way, the film continues to be shown in a theater in Kaysville, Utah. So, if you’re anywhere near... Read more

Unfortunately, today’s blog entry needs to be largely devoted to the proverbial notion that a lie can travel half-way around the world before the truth can even get its boots on. (Appropriately enough, the saying is commonly but, it seems, falsely attributed to Mark Twain.). My boots are now laced up, so it’s time to go: The imminent re-opening of Paris’s landmark Notre Dame Cathedral is very much in the news, and perhaps especially so (in the United States)...

The following note went out to several Interpreter Foundation mailing lists yesterday: This coming Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, 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, and we hope that none of them is neglected. Still, among all of their competing claims and amidst the wonders and the pressures of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Festivus, Christmas, Boxing... Read more

We’re just back from a showing of Home Alone with our granddaughter. It was hilarious. But I’m thinking much more of the audience that were there with us in the tiny theater. There were several little kids who were about our granddaughter’s age, and they had already met this morning during an activity in which at least two of them had created stuffed baby elk — which, of course, they brought along to watch the movie with them. They... Read more

A new article appeared this afternoon in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship: “What Happened to Nephi at the Camp of the Broken Bow? A Book of Mormon Mystery,” written by Godfrey J. Ellis Abstract: Nephi started as the youngest son of Lehi and Sariah and ended up as the king or king-like leader of the Nephite nation. While he, in some sense, obviously grew into the role over time, there was likely some key time... Read more
