I really liked this video about the up coming vote that I believe speaks to every Christian regardless of their interpretations or gospel precepts that they follow.

Praise to the Man

A couple weeks ago I was in Salt Lake doing the Connect Pass City Tour for “work”. After having a late lunch at the Lion House Pantry I had a couple of hours that I decided to fill with a visit to the Joseph Smith Memorial building in order to watch the movie Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration. I think they should rename it Praise to the Man.

The movie is very well done and I think for the member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the non-member alike, it is well worth the time to watch. Not preachy but very much done from the documentary/story telling perspective, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the sets, the film work, the acting and the editing.

I was moved to tears a few times, my testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith strengthened, but I was particularly touched during the first part when it portrays Joseph being operated on as a young boy. Envisioning one of my son’s going through something similar…well, it brought tears to my eyes to see and try to feel what it may have been like for Joseph Smith Sr and Lucy.

Like just about everything else digital video, this movie is also found on YouTube in about 9 parts (10 min max per video). Here’s part one which has the scene I mentioned above.

Although you could watch all the parts on YouTube, do yourself the favor and be sure you watch this on the big screen! Admission is free.

Chalk a great afternoon up to not working for the man. That’s something worth praising!

–here’s part 2 in case you just watched part 1 and you’re wanting more

Remembering a Great Man

I was saddened at the passing of President Gordon B. Hinkley. I’ve read much from him and much about him in the past few days. This video from BYU is a nice tribute with some sound counsel that I would be wise to follow.

And this one is a nice example of how one man can change another man’s life.

Thank you President Hinckley for influencing mine for the better.

Cleaning the Tabernacle

It’s 10pm on a Tuesday night. I’m with 6 teenagers ages 16-18. Their mom’s wouldn’t believe this if I told them but their son’s have volunteered to clean, yes clean without pay or prize, a building. But this is not your typical ordinary building.

The “Mormon” Tabernacle was built
