I love the relax-a-cation ad with the half-naked woman in the middle of this article.

Huh? Mine is for Utah CEO magazine.
Maybe they are catering to what kind of sites are visited in your history...

When my daughter was a sunbeam, she loved the song, "Follow the Prophet" and sang with gusto during singing time. One day at home, I heard her enthuastically sing this song, but the refrain was "Fall off the prophet"!

"We received e-mails not just from Utah, but from around the world."
Quick question... Do you really think that the only members of the church live in Utah? Or just the only ones that matter? Why would you think you would only receive responses from Utah? The church is global.

Joe Cannon is ruining this once proud newspaper. This article, like so many others in the DNews, is just a terrible waste of space. Even Mormons, like me, will have a hard time stomaching this garbage. I grew up reading the DNews and have had a subscription to for years, but the Mormon Times section is an embarrassment, has virtually no advertising in it (showing its lack of popularity) and is about the final straw for me. I don't want to do it, but I'm about to switch to the Tribune.

When my son was in primary, they were drawing pictures of their understanding of the Christmas Hymn "Silent Night". He drew a very heavy set boy in the center of the page. When I questioned him about the drawing he replied, "Mom, don't you know? That's "Round John Virgin"!!!

I still sing the version of "We are All Enlisted" my siblings and I sang when we were young tykes and didn't know better and had a flair for adventure.
"We are all enlisted, we are conquistadors."
"We are all enlisted, we are conquistadors."

Here's the way my friend and I kept ourselves amused during looong talks that didn't hold our interest: We flipped through the hymnal adding "in the bathtub" after the title of each song. Sometimes it was a struggle to not completely laugh out loud, but at least it kept us from fidgeting and fussing with our younger brothers and sisters.

My 4-year-old daughter came home from Primary with a picture she had drawn of her family. All three of the people she drew were wearing dresses. Even though my wife and I are not politically active and never talk about politics at home, our daughter explained, "That's me, and these are my Mommies."

Clearly they know that the church has spread significantly beyond Utah, but the fact remains that this is a Utah paper. It's understandable that they wouldn't expect global response, even if it *is* on the web. Do you go online to read the culture section of India Daily?

Maybe because this is a UTAH paper. There was no hidden meaning, I'm sure!!!

One day we took our 4 year olds to a dinosaur park here in Germany, and it had a dinosaur skull made out of clay sitting in the grass. We were trying to explain about the Creation and we thought they understood, and all of a sudden, my son pipes up and goes, "LOOK Mommy!! Jesus KILLED it!!!" Think we need to work on that one a little more.

Last week my daughter and I took her 22 month old to Bajio's for lunch. He looked up at the huge picture on a cute little Mexican guy sitting on a rock and said "Look mommy, it's Jesus."
Bajio Story... | 6:23 p.m. July 24, 2008
I never met him, but I'd be willing to bet my last dime that the large-nosed,dark-skinned guy on the Bajio poster looks a heckuva lot more like Jesus probably did than the pristine-clean, Caucasian guy we see in our predominant culture.

Isn't it amazing that even with a harmless fluff-piece like this, that some people can still find something to grump, criticize and complain about? They must really have miserable lives. Lighten up, people; allow yourselves some enjoyment.
Bajio Story.... | 9:16 p.m. July 24, 2008
I don't know why you think I was criticizing. I just thought the little kid was being amazingly perceptive and the adults merely thouht it was funny. YOU need to lighten up, my friend :-)

I can recall as a child thinking that there was a herald angel named Hark. He sang every Christmas.
