I've come way late to this one (we didn't watch GC, we went with the wife's family to outdoor Mass and fall festival instead--we'll catch up on GC via BYU-TV and I already know my wife will love Sister Beck's talk; I mean it, she will love it).

Mike, sometimes I think we are members of entirely different churches. I see this as a constant theme being driven into my brain. It's what my father modeled for me. It's what I teach and hope I am modeling for my sons and daughters.

Mass was actually pretty good. The homily was on, among other things, being good parents. Go figure. The festival was okay; the highlight was playing bingo. I almost won a DVR. The lowlight was the Guatemalan tamales.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
