Prayer
11/14/11- As you know, Mormonism is all over the news. San Antonio is one of the test markets for the, “I am a Mormon” campaign. Please pray for more speaking engagements so that we can inform people about the differences between Mormonism and Christianity.
11/7/11- Typically things slow down in November, but that is not the case this year. Mormonism has been in the media because of the two Mormon Presidential candidates and that keeps us very busy.
We also have a number of exciting projects and opportunities coming up in the near future. Please PRAY that we prioritize and keep up with everything during this busy time of the year. Thanks for praying and may God bless you for His glory!
Political Correctness Gone Wild- Teacher Attacked Then Blamed For ‘Threatening To Defend Herself’
A teacher in Baltimore, MD was attacked and isn’t getting any support from the school administration because, “she egged the student on by threatening to defend herself.” Threatened to defend herself? That is ludicrous! How can informing an aggressor that you will defend yourself be considered a threat? Does that mean that because I am angry with what the administration told Mrs. Berry that I can fly out there and beat up the person who said it? What is this politically correct, crazy, twisted (lots of expletives coming to...
read moreThe Importance Of Doing Your Homework
I have been active in witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons on the Topix.net forums. Months ago on one of the conversation threads, a Mormon, who goes by the name “Larry,” asked me about a quote used by Gerald and Sandra Tanner of Utah Lighthouse Ministry. According to Larry, the Tanners are guilty of “telling outright lies about what the Early LDS Leaders have said” (Post #13 of the above thread). I decided to look into the issue for Larry. This exercise was a good reminder of how important it is to take care in research and...
read moreIn Memory Of Julie Abbott
Sunday was a weird day. Our pastor, Robert Emmitt, started his sermon by mentioning a number of recent murders where people were killed by, “an angry, obsessed man.” Friday, Emmitt went on, pausing for a moment with a pained expression, “our own beloved doctor, Julie Abbott, was shot to death by an angry, obsessed man.” Becky was shocked. Julie was one of the teachers who taught three Precepts Bible studies that Becky has taken at our Church. Robert centered his whole message around the person of Julie Abbott and how...
read moreBaseball Ready!
Our son is playing T-ball for the very first time! He is excited to have something for himself as his sister has been doing ballet for more than a year. We practice hitting in the back yard with a wiffle ball bat and a bunch of wiffle balls. We also practice catching grounders and throwing a real baseball. It is amazing how quickly he is learning and progressing in skill. When we started, he was hitting the ball off of a tee and rarely put the ball over the fence. Now he is doing that when I pitch the ball to him. We still need to work on...
read moreMormon Archaeology: Interesting Find At The Hill Cumorah
The hill Cumorah is sacred ground to the Latter-day Saint. This is supposedly where Joseph Smith found the golden plates, buried under a stone. It was these golden plates that Mormons believe was translated by the gift and power of God into what is now known as the Book of Mormon. I stumbled across this interesting video that discusses a recent find at the Hill Cumorah. Oh, did I wish you a happy April Fool’s day?
read moreTrouble With Topix
I have been active in Witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons for the last couple of months through a news site called Topix. Along with reading all sorts of news items, readers can also participate in conversation about those news items or they can post their own comments and questions in the Forum. Obviously I participate in the JW and Mormon forums. Because of some research that I was doing for a Mormon who asked me a question, I found that a great number of my posts were either never posted to Topix or have been taken down. Now...
read moreA Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Kingdom Hall…
Kingdom Hall… When Becky and I were going to the JW memorial last Saturday night, we decided to make it a date night too. We got a babysitter and left early to go out to eat.We were sitting down and our waiter came up to us, took one look and said, “I know you guys.” We immediately recognized him as the younger brother to one of our ex-Mormon support group members. He was very happy to see us. We talked a bit and he told us that his sister had invited him to the support group. E. has left the LDS Church and knows it...

HUGE issue to be argued in the Supreme Court. http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/cs_api/get_swf?swfHome=eplayer.clipsyndicate.com&va_id=543502&wpid=1904 Although I feel for Michele and Oscar Wilson, I do not understand how they fail to see that the man who killed their daughter, killed her with an illegal gun. How is making all guns illegal every where going to change...
read moreRaining Mud?
OK, this is weird. I took our son to T-ball practice tonight and it drizzled on and off. As we were practicing, one of other Dad’s said something about it raining mud. I thought he was talking about dirt being kicked up off of the infield, but didn’t really pay much attention to what he was getting at. After practice, we were walking to our car and noticed the mud-spots all over my car. I was wondering if the water was sticking to the dirt we picked up in the parking lot, but that was not the case. As we drove home, I noticed that...
read moreHappy Saint Patrick’s Day From The Late, Great “World’s Best Guard Dog!”
My Mom came by today to help out in the office and she showed me this cute, old picture of a dog we use to have. Her name was “Nushi” and she lived for 16 1/2 years. Evidently this picture was taken on Saint Patrick’s Day. My Mom likes to decorate for just about any holiday. If it isn’t moving, it gets decorated. Nushi must have been asleep and woke up in green. One of her nick-names was “ugly dog,” but my Mom and Dad liked to refer to her as, “The World’s Best Guard Dog.” Of course this...
