I’ve cruised, posted, and written in the Bloggernacle for one year. It’s been an interesting experience.
My initial goal in coming to the Bloggernacle was to mingle with LDS who are seeking to fulfill their baptismal covenant by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. I assumed that with the vastness of the internet’s reach I’d [...]
The language of the scriptures is powerful and can arouse the faculties of our souls if we have ears to hear.
The Lord explaining this said:
Behold, I am God; give heed to my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore, give [...]
I have experienced many answers to prayer. I know the Lord hears my prayers, He is my friend.
Nevertheless, I am currently trying to determine if an “impression” I received a few days ago, is from the Lord, or the workings of my mind.
I have been researching and praying about a particular business pursuit [...]
The gift of the Holy Ghost is available to those who enter into the waters of baptism and are confirmed members of the Lord’s church.

Moving quickly about the internet is easy to take for granted. At least I have, until recently, that is. The broadband that runs my home computer is being upgraded and I’m without the internet for a week or so—what a pain. I now realize just how much I rely on various internet sites. [...]
The Bible teaches the gospel net gathereth of every kind, in other words, the Lord sure has a lot of variety in His church. This is true of the Bloggernacle. We’re a diverse group; a microcosm of early 21st century American Mormons.
For most of my church life I’ve thought of members as being either [...]
We are All Obedient. It is Simply a Matter of Whom We Obey
I read this statement recently and found it full of meaning (it would make a good bumper sticker).
