(I) talk of Christ . . . and (I) write according to (my understanding), that (my) children (and friends) may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. (2 Nephi 25:26)

Reevaluating the Scope and Reach of the Word of Wisdom
I have said for a long time that we don’t understand D&C 89
nearly as well as we tend to think we do. This post highlights one of
the reasons I believe that is so: We have defined “evil designs” so
narrowly that we miss widely diverse manifestations of it all around us.
Exploitation and manipulation for personal gain at the
expense of another is, perhaps, the clearest antithesis to Zion I can
imagine.
I currently try to post original thoughts on Fridays, with quotes on Tuesdays. Feel free to comment on new or old posts. Comments on posts over a month old are moderated to avoid spam and will be released whenever I notice them. The comment policy is at the bottom of this page.
