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!

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...

What Bruce Did ...

I had originally intended to write a post titled What Would Bruce Do, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought that the things that Bruce did were amazing and they should be documented, at least from my perspective. I am not sure if Bruce Walshe kept a journal. He was so busy with everything else I don't know how he possibly could have had time to do that as well. But maybe he did. He was so obedient to the counsel of our Church leaders that he most likely did, and I am sure it would make an interesting read. I don't know much about Bruces' early life. I didn't meet him until I was 24 years old (32 years ago) and he would have been 28. He was a convert to the Church in his early 20's and I was a convert at 24. He was found by i n 1976 Elder David Young and Elder Jeff Gillette when they felt impressed to go tracting in a Graves St in Essendon within the Glenroy Ward boundaries. I was found by missionaries when they tracted the street that I lived in, i...

Post mission report No 2

 Friday 24 November 2023 The past week we have been on the road again. The floors at Archimedes Ave are being sanded and refinished, so we can’t be there while all that work is being done. We moved everything from the rest of the house in to our bedroom so the floors in all the other rooms can be worked on, and then when we move everything back in to the house from the shipping container, and out of our bedroom, we can get the floors done in our bedroom, so that they match the rest of our house. So, last Monday and Tuesday nights we stayed with Miriam and Taylor at The Gurdies, the we stayed Wednesday night with Stephanie Woodford back in Geelong, and last night and tonight we are staying with Josie Whalebone at her new house in Bacchus Marsh. Today we had lunch with Ros Richardson, and old friend of Margot’s whom she served with as a Stake Missionary way back in Normanhurst Ward when they were both young and single. We had a nice lunch and a good chat. Ros’s husband, Craig, passed...
