The build will be up and usable in a few days, but for now I’m interested in your response. Thoughts?

A screen capture of what I have so far

I have volunteered my efforts to organize the Presidents of the Church section of BOAP.org. The following link is a “beta,” a rough edit, of the site I’ve conceived of so far. Let me know what you like and don’t like:

“Elect lady” in 2 John was a Relief Society leader?

todrobbins — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:51:23 +0000

According to Eliza R. Snow’s article in the premier issue of the Woman’s Exponent, “elect lady” has reference to a Relief Society-type role (found in 2 John 1:1), as part of the Primitive Church. Maybe I’m new to the subject, but that is a very neat connection I had not come across before. Also, after some brief surveying of the topic I came across theories that it may have been Mary, the mother of Jesus. Not verifiable yet interesting enough.

Thoughts?

Sacrament thoughts: 25 October 2009

todrobbins — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:27:37 +0000

Named in space, no time

Proclaimed good and pronounced a noble—child

Hands on another, blessing by the lights of paramount spheres

Words of another, filled with the swell of inspirations

Love, water, sight and spirit in the midst of the sons and daughters of Zion

Rims of gold, sapphire, and ebony,

Tusks, ivory, and folded rivers,

Interlaced, five with five,

And she went up and down on puce—

Mind racing time, space, short and long—breaths of reflection

I love her more than myself—but which self sees those rims of gold?

September Poem

You are bruised by devils
While solid foundations quiver
And the veil rent
Crossed, crucified, and castigated
Lift up your voice
As heaven’s a radio
Echoing sufferer and riser

“Did” God, or Does God, Have a Wife?

Interesting. I’m checking to see if UVU has this to check out.

132 Libraries of Congress

“To our knowledge, there is no company that does the level of vital records preservation that FamilySearch does,” said Brother Nauta. “The records FamilySearch contains currently, when digitized, would equal 132 Libraries of Congress or 18 petabytes of data—and that doesn’t include our ongoing acquisition efforts.”

What! 132 Libraries of Congress! I looked it up: 18 petabytes is 18,000 Terabytes! This is really an amazing work the LDS Church’s Family History Department is engaged in:
