From the Bloggernacle back bench

Share moments from the funeral at The Blog Segullah. Enjoy a rendition of a poem dedicated to "Gordon B. Hinckley: The Happy Warrior" at Six LDS Writers and A Frog. Or even view a memoriam to the prophet in comic strip form at Latte Day Saints.

And how cool that a blog called canwavetribute + media coverage + willing participants = a lovely tribute to President Hinckley as people waved canes and handkerchiefs as the funeral procession passed.

Has the reorganization made you curious about the history of succession to the presidency of the LDS Church? Check out "Succession in the Presidency, 1887-89" and subsequent comments on Mormon Wasp.

But I have to say that one of my favorite posts about the reorganization was "President Uchtdorf to First Presidency" found at Times and Seasons. Enough said.

New Blog — On January 8th of this year, FAIR (The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research) decided to venture into the Bloggernacle. They indicate that "as part of our stated mission to defend the Church, its doctrines, leaders and practices, we at FAIR recognize the power of the 'bloggernacle' and its utility in discussing difficult and controversial topics. For that reason, FAIR has chosen to use this medium as a way of discussing topics relevant to Mormon Apologetics." The most recent post is a Feb. 5 discussion on The People vs. Chauncy L. Hibgee. Tags: apologetic, history, doctrine, politics, Book of Mormon.

Political Pause — While some weeks I find politics fascinating, this oversaturated political week was blah. However if you are still interested in the Bloggernacle's take on Super Tuesday or Mitt Romney's withdrawal from the presidential campaign head over to Council of Fifty. But I echo Mormon Mentality in asking if there will there be a "Return to Bloggernacle Normalcy" with the end of the Romney candidacy?
