In light of a sacrilegious Broadway musical disrespecting/ usurping/ plagiarizing/ mocking/ stealing/ “permanently borrowing” the same name as sacred scripture, I’d like to offer a few facts and personal thoughts about The Book of Mormon, and what it’s really all about. I’ve provided many links and references that you may find of interest.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I often hear people referring to my “Mormon Bible”, or simply ”those different scriptures you use”.
For reference and clarification, here is:
My Top Ten List of What The Book of Mormon IS, and what it IS NOT. Continue reading
Joy Of The Lord- By Liz Lemon Swindle
In 2009 three nationally known artists joined talents to share their witnesses of Jesus Christ. The “Son of Man Project“ was created to combine artwork of renowned Christian artist Liz Lemon Swindle, the music of acclaimed composer Kenneth Cope, and the writings of religious scholar Susan Easton-Black
“at completion, the Son of Man project will include a four-volume book series, an original two-volume musical score, and over one hundred paintings and sketches celebrating the life of the Savior.”
The attached video produced by B. Hillman combines Kenneth Cope’s song “Miracle From Heaven“ with art-work by Liz Lemon Swindle, and enjoy rare behind-the-scene footage of Ms. Swindle’s staged subject photo-shoots.

I believe that Easter is the most sacred and important holiday of the year. Sadly, its meaning and significance is often forgotten. The new video entitled “His Holy Name – An Easter Declaration” says everything I could, and more. ~ MoSop

A beautiful new video has been released that depicts a portion of the Old Testament account of Queen Esther, and the events that led to her great act of faith.
As you may recall, not knowing that his new wife Esther was a Jew, King Ahasuerus of Persia was persuaded to approve a decree that all persons of Jewish descent should be killed. Continue reading

The Wisemen found Jesus because our Heavenly Father had prepared a special star, a new light in the heavens to guide them. They watched and searched, and then followed the star.
The star that led the Wise Men to the Savior was real. But it also was symbolic of the light that came into the world with the Savior’s birth.
We each have the chance to become a Wiseman or Wisewoman. This Christmas, consider how you will be following the light, and seeking the Christ child.
