lol. "perfected" means what it sounds like. For example, doesn't need glasses, not balding, no hearing loss, no broken limbs, etc. etc. As an observation -- one exception is that Jesus still has the prints of the nails in his and feet. "glorified" is harder for me to explain, as ...

Not being a parent, I'm hardly an expert on the matter. But I want to say my thoughts as I was reading your post. It seems to me, the only way one learns to be a parent is by copying his/her parents. If they failed as parents, so will the children, because they do not know any better. Children with ...

If Jesus had been born a female into a predominantly female society, what title do you think he would have given the eternal spiritual creator of the entire universe? Obviously you want me to say "Mother," but since the question is "what do you think," I think the correct answer...

Yeah. If the problem never gets solved, then you are still in danger of starving and eviction and without credit. It would seem to me that facing starvation would be the best motivator to budget, if nothing else worked. That would be the time to say, "Okay, I'll buy food on credit, but just a p...

I worked at H&R Block for a couple years as a tax preparer and I am the rare individual who enjoys doing taxes. I still file taxes for my friends and family every year. I do mine as soon as I get my W-2s, which is usually by the end of January and if you do e-filing and direct deposit, you get ...

*dances* Call me crazy, but I filed my taxes at the beginning of February. I just got my huge refund during the last week. I didn't expect them to send anything until April, but I guess it's best for them to get a head start. Now all I need is an economic stimulus check. They probably won't send the...

*sigh of relief at seeing paragraph breaks* Sorry that I don't follow Canadian politics, though I would like to hear more opinions from other northern neighbors. But I want to say the same about American politics. I've noticed the same thing in America, about voting who you are "expected" ...

*shrugs* (Obviously, I hope, the following is meant to be taken with a grain of common sense.) I tend to think, post what's on your mind at the moment, and let it sink or swim. If people are interested, they'll post. If not, woohoo, big deal, the thread goes to the bottom of the page. I think it is...

"Congratulations! You won!" "Yay. I finished level 12! Now I am fully qualified to operate Dr. Device." "Actually, you won't have to. It wasn't a game, it was all real! You killed them all!" "No!!! I didn't want to kill anybody!! I just wanted to be loved!"

This is in response to that topic a while back that suggested we all make new topics regularly. It did well for a bit, but apparently, we decided to go back to our old, slow ways. So, anyway, reasons I don't post more topics: #1 -- It's usually a "I don't know where I'm going with this, but I w...

The reason I don't like it is that it reads like a fanfic. It advances nothing and has no meaning. ... and you were expecting...? That's what I was expecting, so that's why I liked it. If you were expecting some grand epic novel, of course you are going to be disgustingly disappointed. From the sum...

"did"? no. "does"? yes.

I get choked up more and more each time I read it.

Also, another thing that really annoys me: contractions with existing continuity. In Ender's Game, Ender doesn't fire his gun and gets placed at the top of the rankings. In A War of Gifts, Zeck doesn't fire his gun and gets placed at the bottom. The difference is that Zeck does fire his gun, but he...

I read an interesting article (I think in Scientific American?) shortly after the whole Pluto-"demotion" debate. Critics were saying Neptune hasn't "cleared" its orbit due to Pluto, and others pointed out that really no planet has "cleared" its orbit. Earth (and all the...

On that topic, President Woodruff (4th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) said, "The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as the President of this Church to lead you astray. ... If I were to attempt that, the Lord would remove me out of my place ...&q...

Yup, that's about it. Thanks for the smilie, though. :) And it's okay if you are vague on it EL, since there actually isn't much on the topic. Although possibly not needed to understand the gospel, Understanding it helps make more sense of some gospel topics, (primarily the doctrine of eternal famil...

I live in Layton.

Yeah, I kind of remember President Benson & President Hunter from when I was in Primary. Then I realized, President Hinckley has been the President of the church for half my life!

I'm glad the world had President Hinkley as long as we did. At the last General Conference, I think during one of his talks, I thought to myself, This man is 97 years old. He might not have as much time left. One interesting thing, apparently LDS High Schoolers all over the nation forwarded text-mes...

I do! Actually, I just started. My sisters started it a couple years back, and I got jealous that I was the only one that didn't have one. So far, I just have one: Doctor Who -- Eight Percent of My Love The music is from a music video from Square One TV if anyone remembers that show. Video is from D...

And hey, if anyone speaks french, you may enjoy Maliki . Allegedly the favourite webcomic of Ian McConville (of MacHall and Three Panel Soul), even though he can't read any of the text. Neither can I, but it looks freakin' amazing. It'd be cool if someone wanted to translate it. I took a lot of Fre...

It was actually a pretty recent one, so you probably missed it. "E. Pluribus Wiggum" It's still on fox.com, so you can see it yourself. The people of Springfield don't like any of the primary candidates, but Ned says "But we can't not vote! Nobody does that!" They decide to write...

Primaries are on Feb. 5th for me, and likely most of us. I don't know about y'all, but I'm suffering from information overload. But I can't not vote, nobody does that.

I got this book for Christmas. I liked it. When I was reading it, I also felt like I could believe these actually were kids. But that was something that I liked about it. But I still thought they were geniuses. For example, Dink analyzing his first meeting with Ender (who but a genius would do that?...

I had a lot of fun at my 5-year High School Reunion. I'll probably go every time that we have one. I knew nearly half the people there. It was kind of depressing that I was still single, and a lot of my High School friends were married. I liked High School. It was the first time that people liked me...

I liked it. But I was still holding out against hope that Candace would show up. I knew it just wasn't meant to be. West: "I want you to keep your secret." Claire: "Huh? Are you really west?" West: "Uhm... got to go." *leaves* Mr. Bennet: "I've come from beyond the...

The gentle Savior said, â€œBeware of false prophets, which come to you in sheepâ€™s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

I voted "yes." "My Favorite Deity" has a face. Although I agree that the scriptures are figurative in many instances, I believe they are being literal when they say (among others) that Moses talked to God face to face. I believe God is a Man. Jesus called Him "Father," ...

This reminds me of a conversation I once had with my friends. One guy was saying he couldn't stand a particular movie, because of the bad acting. I realized that I am immune to bad acting.
