Tech Support

I’ve seen this or something similar via email about 6 years ago. It seems to be funnier now though

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected
child processing that took up a lot of space and
valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed
itself […]

Half way there…

I’ve been plugging along at 3 chapters per day. As of this morning I’m on Alma 29. I’m now more than halfway through! Now I can even slow down to two chapters per day and finish before Christmas
I can’t even imagine how Ammon and his brothers felt after being being the means of […]

Modern Day Noah

In the year 2005, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, “Once again, the earth has become wicked and overpopulated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans.”
He gave […]

What do Alma (the Elder) and Joseph Smith have in common?

I am nearly to Alma, the big book. This section of the Book of Mormon always reminds me of a webpage I wrote back in 1999. It is an interesting look at some numbers in the Book of Mormon. Feel free to check it out here:

Store Wars

It’s veggie tales meets Star Wars… sort of. These veggies are real, and have the farm with them. Join Obe Wan Cannoli and Cuke Skywalker on their adventure to rescue Princess Lettuce and Destroy Darth Tator.
Just watch it here: Store Wars

Mother In Law Joke

A Man, his wife, and mother-in-law went on vacation to the Holy Land. While they were there the mother-in-law passed away. The undertaker told them, “You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150.”
The man thought about it and told him he would just […]

The Best Pitcher of All Time

So, who was the best pitcher of all time and why? Okay, this may not be a fair question, but I’d really like to see some opinions on this one. From what I know and what I’ve seen & heard, this would be my top ten list:

Nolan Ryan - Simply the best. Threw 7 no […]

Blue Cross & Blue Shield

I’m furious right now! And as those who know me can attest, it takes a lot to upset me.
Figuring blogging might be a good stress reliever, I’ve come to rant.
Here is the background. Shortly after my wife had our son in March, she somehow strained her neck to the point she couldn’t move. We went […]

The Great Experiement

So what if Nephi and his brethren did not return to Jerusalem and obtain the brass plates? What if they had no scripture, or records of their ancestors?
Well, my guess is they would have become as the people in Zarahemla. The people of Zarahemla also came from Jarusalem, shortly after Lehi and his family left. […]

Jacob 5

Oh the dreaded Jacob 5, 77 verses long! While growing up, I never quite understood this chapter. Even after a number of lessons in Sunday school and seminary. I think we spent a couple days in seminary talking about it and all I got out of it was what it meant to graft a branch […]
