Saturday, September 13, 2008. Joseph Smith's First Prayer: In Search For Truth. N the mission, we used to have 6 discussions to share with those we came in contact with who were interested to know more about the church. My favorite has always been the first discussion where we talk about the prophet Joseph Smith. I’ve often felt the spirit every time we quote his very own words about his first vision. See Joseph Smith History: 1:15-17). Every time I read the personal history of Joseph Smith as found in t...

Sunday, March 22, 2009. T's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.” - Graham. 8220;Crash”—you should see it. Themed around differences in color of people, the film brings out a profound lesson about love and hate. When I saw this movie, every thought and act I have had in my ...

Friday, July 29, 2011. Celebrating Life Through Gratitude. F I am to make a significant declaration today, I'd say 'Life is beautiful'! That is quite a bold assertion in such woeful circumstances we have in the world. However, I wouldn't let this day pass without acknowledging the grand splendor that is left amidst awful crises. I’m grateful for a beautiful life. What makes it beautiful? Albert Schweitzer, an Alsatian theologian, musician, philosopher, and physician, once said:. We are products of what w...

Monday, June 6, 2011. My Take on First Class (X-Men). He above clip is my favorite, not because I pine for fight scenes in superhero flicks but because by it, mutant is defined as “better men”. In this part of the movie we discover both where Magneto (Michael Fassbender. Gained his signature helmet and Xavier (James McAvoy) lost the ability to walk. Fleming, Michael (2009-12-17). Bryan Singer to direct 'X-Men: First Class'". I find Mystique’s “relationships” with Xavier and Beast incons...The good thing ...

Monday, December 29, 2008. He year is about to go. Soon the trees that we have put up and the lights we’ve adorned our houses with will have to be taken down. The mistletoes, the wreaths, and lanterns will all have to go to their hiding places once again. It will not be until another year for them to be restored.

Sunday, December 6, 2009. A friend of mine posted this on his Facebook wall a few days ago: "reasons why i hate december in general and christmas in particular: 1.) people are feigning to be good just because it's supposed to be all that time-of-giving bs. 2.) you spend to much money because of number one. 3.) all those lights, decors and whatnot are so cliche and fake.". Here's part of that article:. What sets it apart from any other occasion throughout the year? What’s Christmas all about? 8220;…...
