I definitely experienced one of the tender mercies of the Lord yesterday evening in an experience that still has me freaked out. As I was going to bed last night I was looking forward to having a few minutes to read before going to sleep. As I sat down on the bed, I thought, "I really should change these sheets." Then the little devil on my shoulder said, "No, don't do that! You'll use up all your reading time and will have to go to bed without reading at all!" This battle raged in my head for a minute, but eventually the angel won, and I decided to change the sheets.

I screamed for Brigham (who came running, thinking that Jacob had stopped breathing or something), and he heroically chased down the nasty arachnid and destroyed it.

Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...
