Purpose of Blog


In December of 2007, Elder Ballard said to the graduates of BYU-Hawaii:
"Today we have a modern equivalent of the printing press in the Internet and all that it means. The Internet allows everyone to be a publisher, to have their voice heard, and it is revolutionizing society. This modern equivalent of the printing press is not reserved only for the elite. The audiences for these and other New Media tools may often be small, but the cumulative effect of thousands of such stories can be great. The combined effort is certainly worth the outcome if but a few are influenced by your words of faith and love of God and His son Jesus Christ. Do not be afraid to share with others your story, your experiences as a follower of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We all have interesting stories that have influenced our identity. Sharing those stories is a non-threatening way to talk to others."
Post your experiences as a missionary and let your light so shine, for "who can glory too much in the Lord?" (Alma 26: 16)

Let Your Light So Shine

A powerful missionary moment out of tragedy in Provo this week as BYU suspends Davies for the remainder of the basketball season:

“I probably couldn't make a day following BYU's code. I need my coffee. Also, I curse sometimes,” writes sports columnist John Canzano at The Oregonian newspaper in Portland, Ore. “But at a moment like this, watching BYU wave off a guy who started 26 games, it's evident that their success is not accidental.... Just maybe … the notion that good values and a willingness to think long term has some worth. Because the alternative has left the rest of college athletics feeling like a slimy and dark underworld.”
