I’ve had this photo on my desktop for about 6 months now, waiting to use it in a blog. Well, that blog has now come:
This is a photo that a friend took on his trip to China. They dry egg yolks. Not sure what they do with them once they are dry, though. I have a sneaky suspicion they either eat them, or throw them at each other.
Since one of the most commonly searched terms which land people on my blog was the combination of Mormons and American Idol, I figured it was high time that I write an exhaustive piece on the Mormons (I’m aware of) that competed in any significant way on American Idol.
The fax machine I purchased a few weeks ago has proven very valuable. Since its acquisition, I have sent faxes for:
This doesn’t even count the joke faxes I’ve sent my mother on this machine.
One more fax, and this machine will have paid for itself!!!
Spoilers… Don’t click through unless you’ve seen the show.
Sorry for being a day late with this… But it’s been a busy busy week.
Here we go…
Last Saturday my fiance and I attended a church meeting. Afterwards, we were starving, so we went where any decent Mormon would go after a Saturday church meeting – Braums.
While at Braums, one other person came over to us and introduced themselves, asking what congreagation we were from. We said we were from the Dallas 11th Ward, but would be moving to the Wylie 2nd Ward soon. They were estatic… and asked us to join them – two couples who had gone together to the same meeting.
They apologized for ignoring us, but I said – “no it’s OK – we are used to being in our own little world.”
No blog yesterday or today. If you’re lucky, maybe not tomorrow either…
Please go about your regularly scheduled life.
Thanks to Axe for the tip on this website, Mormons Made Simple.
Generally, people rarely take the time to clearly explain the main tenants of the LDS/Mormon faith, and as a result most of the general public know very little about our core beliefs.
Although I think the illustrations in these movies are super-corny, they do get at the core facts of my religion, without editorial and without overwrought musical underscoring either.
As I’ve repeatedly stated, I find my religion just as unbelievable as any other religion on the earth. I don’t insist that anyone believe what I believe, I only insist that they become factually educated so that when we discuss religion, we can do so in an educated, respectful manner, rather than working from a slanted, incomplete view of my faith.
This is the post I was referring to the other day. Please note, before you read, that THIS IS NOT A POST TO BASH ON MOMMY BLOGS. This is simply a post making a few observations about blogging in general. Please don’t read anything between the lines. I enjoy looking at pictures of your kids just as much as you enjoy posting them.
That being said, here we go…
