Sketchbook: For our day

There are a LOT of podcasts about the scriptures and about the Church. Some of them are really good. Others? Well, they run the spectrum. The thing to keep in mind, in my humble opinion, is that podcasts can make a good supplement to scripture study. But nothing beats being in the scriptures yourself.

That's my soapbox for the week!
 

Your religion is showing

Watch — it won't be long before Deseret Book starts selling kits to do this at home!
 

Sketchbook: Liken our chores unto us

The  plates are said to have been bright, so Moroni must have had some special detergent or something.

Practice makes perfect

Do you think Moroni had any inkling that he'd be topping temples all over the world? I have it on good authority that his father did!

Following in their footsteps

There's a very good explanation as to why this looks suspiciously like my son's room. Well, except for the Osmonds poster.

Sketchbook: Songs of my fathers

Ever wonder what kinds of Primary songs the Nephites had?

An early start

Liberty in their hearts

If that isn't inspirational, I don't know what is!

Sketchbook: Title of Trouble

I can imagine that if Captain Moroni had older sisters, it would have helped him develop those skills that served him later in his career as the Nephite military leader. He had to think fast, be quick, be innovative and creative, know when to stand and fight and know when to strategically retreat. Who better than an older sister to help him learn those things?

Like unto him

Because as every parent knows, it works to compare siblings!

Sketchbook: What's in a title?

About this time every year, I get to thinking about Captain Moroni's Title of Liberty. Based on several of the addresses from April's session of General Conference, this seemed appropriate.

He's got the title

Personally, I think he's more like Batman.

For your further edification, Arie VanDeGraaff is the master of Mormon-themed superheroes...

Scriptural example

Sometimes it's really hard to be an adult, especially when someone is hitting your kids.

PR War

I think there was a reason why Captain Moroni was able to rally people around his standard...

Rent-a-coat?

The story of Captain Moroni is an inspiring one. He was a brilliant strategist and didn't leave much to chance. So it stands to reason that before he hoisted the Title of Liberty throughout the land, he made sure it said what he wanted it to mean.
