Not to get too personal in family life but my mother reached out to me to discuss a concern related to “the problem of evil” and how to help someone struggling.

I gave her different schools of thought based on books I’ve read, debates I have watched, personal study, personal opinion, scriptures, etc.

After about 20 minutes, I went on a tangent in the scriptures about the parable of the Lost Sheep in relation to the parable of the Prodigal Son. Something simple but profound she never thought of came up in this tangent. Apparently in this tangent her question and concerns were answered. She felt a genuine relief.

It wasn’t the deeper theological/philosophical frameworks that helped her. It was the basic truths found in the scriptures.

Lesson learned for me in real time.

Anthony Bourdain once said RATATOUILLE is the best food movie of all time.

“The best restaurant movie ever made, the best chef movie. The tiny details are astonishing:

•The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists.

•The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks.

•The attention paid to the food.

•And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest–literally breathtaking.

I saw it in a theater entirely full with adults–and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once–a long time ago–all about:

Audible surprise, delight, awe and even a measure of enlightenment.

I am hugely and disproportionately proud that my miniscule contribution (if any) early early in the project’s development led to a ‘thank you’ in the credits. Amazing how much they got ‘right.’”

Not one author in the Bible knew they were contributing to the Bible.

None of them believed in a closed canon. How could they? Every word they wrote testified that the canon was open, that God can still speak to his children.

The Bible is proof that the Bible can't be closed.

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…

It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.

…It has piqued your interest.

You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.

If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.

It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.

And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.

Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.

This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

The Narnia books get unfairly dismissed as children’s books, when in fact Lewis was paying homage to the medieval and Renaissance literature he taught and loved. The walled garden in The Magician’s Nephew is cribbed from the thirteenth-century poem The Romance of the Rose. The Lady of the Green Kirtle draws inspiration from the evil enchantresses in Spenser’s Faerie Queene; the green of her kirtle alludes to Thomas the Rhymer and Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. The whole series rings with echoes of Dante. Lewis was able to write a great work of literature because he had a mind utterly steeped in the classics.

What book are you reading currently?

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

The open house for the San Diego California Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began on Monday, June 15, 2026, with a media day for journalists and invited guests. Doors will open to the public from June 18 through July 11, 2026 (excluding Sundays).

The temple, which closed in 2023 for extensive renovation, will be dedicated on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 11 a.m. (rebroadcast at 2 p.m.).

“The temple is the most sacred place on earth to us as members of the Church,” said Elder Neil L. Andersen @AndersenNeilL of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “It is a place of holiness, of peace, of revelation, of receiving our answers to our prayers. It’s very, very important to us. It is a testament to us of the immortality of the soul.”

Little Bear is great. I can highly recommend it if you have children.

• Calm, slow scenes (not ADHD cutting between scenes).
• Wholesome setting (mother, father, child). Little Bear is gentle, well-adjusted, and respectful to his parents. Mother Bear is motherly and caring. Father Bear is a classical father (not the “silly dad” that you often see nowadays).
• Not overly saturated colours.
• Nice, calm music.

Sometimes teaching Sunday school is a blast. Built a life-size Goliath out of boxes. Used a little bit of charcoal and rough drawing. The kids will be able to play David by throwing beanbags at the head to knock goliath down.
