Flight
In reflecting on it, I tried to find out what it is about flying that just captivates me. Perhaps it's because up in the air, I feel closer to God. Maybe, but I think that it may be more of the feeling that in the air, it's just me (assuming I'm solo), the plane, the wind and God. It can be almost surreal and, when things go awry, it can certainly put the fear of God in me.

Book Review - The Awakening Heart by Betty J. Eadie
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Stand for Something!
The late Gordon B. Hinckley admonished people to "Stand for Something". It's a simple yet profound idea. Too often we sit on the fence or remain silent instead of standing up for the things we believe. Don't be afraid to stand behind your values and convictions. You will not always be right but I'd rather be convinced of my errors than avoid defending them. That way if I am wrong, I'll find out sooner than later.

A Vote for Tolerance & Love
Just so we're clear, I'll begin by giving you some relevant information about myself. I'm a married, heterosexual male. Personally, the thought of having sex with another man is repugnant to me. Then again, I don't like sweet potatoes either. But it doesn't matter to me if someone else likes them. That's their business.
