Re: Reverence
Tianna wrote the a post about reverence in the context of Doctrine & Covenants 107:2-4 and using words like God, Heavenly Father, etc. in our speech.

Slavonian Burger

I got really excited when I first saw this recipe for Slavonian burgers and I’m glad I made them: they were great.

Earlier this week the tech blogs started buzzing about the rumored existence of a Facebook competitor made by Google called “Google Me”. Everyone started speculating about whether it could beat Facebook or not, how would it be different than Buzz, Orkut, etc etc.
Without any way to see into the future, it’s really impossible to say what kind of “success” such a...
