As the 2012 Presidential Election and campaign heats up for Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, people want to know more about his beliefs and the world renowned church he is aligned with, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; more commonly referred to as the Mormons.
What are his beliefs? What are the principles he and his family have been taught to live by? How will those beliefs influence... 
The 99th Match has been well received and would make a great family film. Kickstarter is a crowd funding site used by Creatives to fund their film and literary projects. The 99th Match was approved for advertising this project but it is largely up to the author to generate interest in funding the project.
Here’s the link.

Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on a little known term by elaborating on the meanings of the two words that make up the term, Experiential Apologetics. Though I have actually taught this concept for a number of years, I have never really written my thoughts on the subject until now – so here they are.
Though I thought for a time that I had actually made up the term, I learned that... 
Once, a long time ago, I attended a retirement ceremony of a Naval Officer whom I was the designated replacement for his current job. He was retiring to be a school teacher and I was going to lead a fairly important engineering project in Washington DC. We had had an overlap of responsibilities for several months so he got to see me in action while he studied for his State Certifications in preparation... 
After watching the presentation and historical background of the Latter-day Saint broadcast, Music and the Spoken Word, I remembered one unique broadcast that gave me several new perspectives on life and my relationship with God.
About thirty years ago I was piloting my Naval aircraft on a long mission over the North Atlantic. We took off at a very early hour into a miserable overcast, sleeting, wintery... 
We have plans to publish our Russian adoption story more fully, but since that is a project in the making, I felt to share the lessons we learned that lead to what my wife and I feel was a successful adoption and wonderful experience. Many of these lessons apply to any adoption scenario and with any nationality. Enjoy and God Bless you as you consider or pursue this worthwhile endeavor. We are the ones who... 
Recently my wife and I were released from serving in our church calling at the Utah State Prison, and though we are saddened by this gut wrenching change in our lives, I felt the need to write yet another short article about my observations of prison life as a third in the series of articles titled, A Change of Heart. This article similarly discusses our experiences facilitating Latter-day Saint related... 
Every time I attend the prison and meet with the inmates, male and female, I experience the Spirit and come away having learned something new. The first article, A Change of Heart: Part I, has been widely circulated among the female inmates and volunteer staff there. It was written to express the profound experiences felt there by volunteers about how the atonement of Jesus Christ is affecting the... 
A recent calling to serve as a volunteer providing church services at the Utah State Prison and recent loss of a son to substance abuse has changed my perspectives on judging another person based on what we see with our eyes and not in righteousness. This article discusses my observations of the inmates who pursue a change of heart that accompanies the sincere application of the atonement of Jesus Christ... 
During one of our adoption visits to Russia we stopped at an orphanage unrelated to ours to let our escort do some business. My wife and I waited in the air-conditioned van for about thirty minutes in 110 degree weather when I announced I had to use the bathroom – an outhouse with a hole in the ground behind the orphanage. The driver got permission and we walked through the orphanage to the... 
Having participated in many multidenominational Bible studies and discussions, thoughts about what the root differences are between Latter-day Saint beliefs and the rest of the Christian world have weighed heavily on my mind for some time. Recently, I came to believe that all of the differences in the world can be summarized in three words found only in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus... 
As a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and having grown up on the East Coast, I have had many opportunities to participate in multi-denominational Bible studies. During those studies, I have often be told by my Christian brethren that they were saved and was asked on numerous occasions what Latter-day Saints believed on the topic. Oftentimes our discussion would move in...
