Dave Ramsey Live Event Was a HUGE Success

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 by Dustin

компютриIf you missed it, I’m sorry. It was awesome! Well, it was for me and my wife.
We actually got Platinum passes so we got to go early and have a nice steak lunch and meet Dave before the show. We also got a bag full of books (two of the autographed) and we got to [...]

Tool For Downloading Conference Talks

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006 by Dustin

I’m sure you’ve all heard that the latest conference talks are available in mp3 format now. Would you like an easier way to download them all? I’ve emailed the makers of LDS Audio Browser and they’ve responded to my request to add all the latest conference talks. Now you can download them all in 3 [...]

LDS.org is Google’s #1 “Church”

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006 by Dustin

I read that LDS.org was number 1 on google for the term “church” and mormon.org was number seven. When I tried the two sites were number one and number two. Then I tried again and they were number 1 and 3. At first I was excited, then I realized I was just getting “personalized” results [...]

Uplifting Internet

Monday, August 7th, 2006 by Dustin

Larry Richman wrote a recent post on his blog entitled “Why use the Internet?“. I highly encourage you to read his post.
It brought back memories of my first exposure to the internet. I graduated in 1996. My senior year (1995) was the first time I ever got on the internet. After graduating, I worked for [...]

Is a Fetus a Person?

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 by Dustin

A comment made in one of Brandon’s posts posed the question, “is a fetus a person?” (I’ll make the assumption that a “person” is a human being with both spirit and body.) I believe so. Why? I think my belief spawns from the Bible. Take a look at Luke 1:41, 44:
41 And [...]

Godly Sorrow in Repentance

Sunday, July 16th, 2006 by Brandon

Here is an interesting thought about repentace.
When we sin, we naturally feel bad. But it isn’t the sin that we should feel bad about (condemning ourselves), but rather we should feel bad about what Christ went through for our sins and how we caused him to suffer. That is godly sorrow and will keep us [...]

Of God and Man

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006 by Dustin

Lorenzo Snow once stated:
“As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be.”
I’ve heard this often growing up as a child. To a youthful boy this sounds wonderful. “God was once a man? I can become like God if I live worthy?” Going on a mission, you would think this [...]

Abortion destroys freedom

Friday, June 30th, 2006 by Brandon

Some people say that making abortion illegal would limit freedom, and that the mother should be given a choice in the matter. While we are all able to make our own choices in mortality, people who choose to have abortions should understand that in making that one choice themselves, they are destroying any choices that [...]
