Re: School of the prophets?

Thanks JV for sharing that. It's a relief to hear and I'll search out Elder Cook and his talks. The activity in my ward for 28+yr old singles was 3 out of 101 a few years ago when I had a calling working with them (I was one of the 3) so I mistakenly connected my experience with the hogwash research.

Re: School of the prophets?

Maybe a year ago my wife and I were reading some research by a group who was tracking activity of different churches throughout the world especially LDS. It was discomfiting but the few sources checked out. Essentially our church activity is diminishing despite baptisms including Central/South Ameri...

Don't forget the schools, apartments, and religious buildings...

I'm familiar with those tactics. Most of those in the Arab/NE Africa do not think the way you or I do and it takes most westerners years to allow themselves to understand it if it all - a kind of arrogance built in to western thinking. The ME are wonderful and love their families as much as you or I...

Re: There must be a girl.

I'm still surprised how often this major influence is forgotten, discounted, and rarely mentioned. It even brings some LDS athletes who didn't/won't sign with BYU in for "visits." I feel like a one-year old who is still surprised with a "Boo" three seconds after the previous &quo...

Off the bench comes our 3rd string setter Brody Earnest

Re-watch the home wins vs #4 UCLA and #6 Pepperdine to see the season changer in freshman Brody Earnest (19). He transferred in January from UVU. His sets, digs, and serves in those two games earned him Off the Block National Freshman of the Week and we would have won neither of those games without ...

Ticketed in Pleasant Grove?

Even more condolences to you BoiseBYU. I was pulled over for not stopping completely while coming out of a group of duplexes (private 'road'?). No traffic on the main road. No ticket - possibly because it wasn't 'ticketable' - but I was disgruntled because of the time it cost. The day would have bee...

Transition from JC to D1

How do JC transfers usually perform at BYU? Have they usually been successful? Riley Lyman had a few good moves last night and hopefully she can carry some of the load.

McKenna Miller's ACL injury

We felt sick after watching McKenna's knee bend the wrong way. Our prayers were among the thousands for her. We've admired her skills and determination since she arrived. She's carried the team several games this season. Will her loss change our ranking or tournament seeding even if we don't lose an...

Ohio State women's volleyball match

Ohio State has several excellent players and dominated the first set. They had good discipline and played with the kind of energy that leads to consistently impressive ("lucky") digs and saves rather than token dives and swipes at the ball. No 'campfires.' They were winning the long rallie...
