This is a great story: “BYU’s James Corrigan earns miraculous bid to Paris Olympics with special steeplechase performance: Corrigan achieved the unimaginable on a hot, humid night in Philadelphia” I think, though, that knowing the background helps very much in appreciating it. Here’s an article that was published before Brother Corrigan’s successful race: “Inside the mad scramble to give a BYU runner the opportunity of a lifetime: After finishing third in the Olympic trials, steeplechaser James Corrigan has one last...

My adopted home state is taking a starring role in a new set of films.

Yesterday marked an important anniversary in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And so does today: Deseret News: “A 195-year look back at the men and women who saw and held the plates that became the Book of Mormon: Friday, June 28, is the 195th anniversary of the day three witnesses experienced a vision of the angel Moroni with the golden plates that Joseph Smith would translate into the Book of Mormon” Deseret News:...

I would guess that very few people, even among the Latter-day Saints, are thinking about this. But today marks the 180th anniversary of the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith by a mob while they were in the custody of the state in the jail at Carthage, Illinois. I’ve been thinking about that terrible crime, and lines from a song have come, unbidden, into my mind. In 1972, a Utah Valley singer (and later actor) by the name of... Read more

1. Come, lay his books and papers by, he shall not need them more; the ink shall dry upon his pen, so softly close the door. His tired head, with locks of white, and like the winter’s sun, hath lain to peaceful rest tonight,—The teacher’s work is done. 2. His work is done; no care tonight his tranquil rest shall break; sweet dreams, and with the morning light, on other shores he’ll wake. His noble thoughts; his wise appeal,... Read more

This bit of footage, shot back in May at the foot of Torleif Knaphus’s Angel Moroni monument, which stands atop the Hill Cumorah near Palmyra, New York, somehow didn’t survive into the Final Cut of “Who Actually Saw the Gold Plates? | A Marvelous Work Episode 5.” I can’t imagine why! I want to share a few passages that I marked for my notes during a reading of Lee Nelson, Visions from Beyond the Veil (Springville, UT: Cedar Fort,... Read more
