I've just become a grandfather!

-
Now I know you're all thinking I am way to young, but yes, its true, I have just become a grand-dad!

The phone rang while I was talking to a customer here in the shop at Torquay and everything went a but crazy for me on the emotional side of things when I saw the call coming from Leahannah. I had to take the call of course as I thought it might be something a bit serious with her being so close to being due.

So anyway mother and baby are well. It's a boy and I think his name is Jayah or something like that!

Father of the Bride Speech for Miriam

-
Miriam and Taylor were finally able to get married in the Melbourne Temple on Saturday 31st August 2021 after two previously cancelled dates, due to Covid 19 related lockdowns. Orginally they had planned to have about 88 people at the wedding but under the restrictions they were only allowed to have 50 there. We only had nine days between lockdowns in which they could get married! So, what comes below is fairly close to my Father of the Bride Speech - On behalf of the entire Ceff family (all 7 of us!), I'd like to welcome you all here today and thank you for coming. Being in the "top 50" you can feel pretty good about yourselves! You're in Mim and Taylors top 50 most important people in their lives. I'd like to thank Morry and Joelle and family for the preparation of the venue today and also like very much to thank the venue owners here for getting ready for us all on such short notice. Apparently it's the shortest time they've ever had to get ready for a ...

I think I might preface my remarks about Cliff today by briefly relating what has transpired over the last few months. Some of you might have heard Cliff refer to me as Muzz, and we did a lot of things together. Late June we got bad backs together. We both had MRI’s we both had cortisone shots, and physio treatment, and I started to get better, but Cliff seemed to be taking longer to get better. In fact, he seemed to be getting worse. He was really struggling with the pain. It didn’t matter what he did, he was in pain. He was around our place one day and he sat down trying the special back support I had bought which I thought was fantastic. It didn’t ease his pain. I had also been given an inversion table, and that was really helping me. Cliff wanted to try that too. He got on it and laid back a little bit and it seemed to increase his pain. He wanted to lay back further thinking he might help, but I talked him out of that. Margot and I went out to visit Cliff and Sandy one day and S...

Does the Book of Mormon Contradict the Bible?

-
  Someone, I (@gather_in_podcast) have been chatting with on Threads recently, asked me to read this article,  ContradictionsBetween the Book of Mormon and the Bible | Institute for ReligiousResearch (irr.org)  and "let the Holy Spirit work". You will notice that firstly, the title of the article gives away the authors conclusion. I have re-titled it as a question. Jared Halverson (BYU, Unshaken Saints) has suggested a formula for examining information critical to our beliefs as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the Three S formula - Selective, Superficial, and Sensational. Most critical writing (or videos etc.) exhibit most, but not necessarily all, of these elements. So, let me just look at the first point made in this article. 1. The Book of Mormon teaches that little children are not capable of sin because they do not have a sinful nature (Moroni 8:8). In contrast, the Bible in Psalm 51:5 clearly teaches that we have sinful natu...
