Easter

I appreciate Kerry Shirts swapping shifts with me, today, at the Museum of Idaho for the Ink & Blood exhibit.
On the upper floor of this museum, a first edition Aitkens Bible (1782) in an enclosed case is open to Psalm 49.  Thank you Robert Aitken for printing Psalm 49:15 on American soil!

3.  Outside of bloggernacle, the contrast is picturesque banality.
4.  One of the most powerful verses posted on the [...]

Mitt’s Mormonism in the Limelight

It is no surprise when you see Romney on the front page of The Salt Lake Tribune (2/4) with the article, “It’s politics over pulpit.”
But now USA Today wants to be in on the excitement with the headlines, “Will Mormon faith hurt bid for White House?”
Do you think it will?

“Kaneko in Court” – Today’s Local Headlines

This is the front page news of the Post Register, the newspaper in Idaho Falls, Idaho.  (Disclaimer – the paper tends to be biased against conservative Republican politics and Mormonism.  Just ask the neighbors.)
 
Here are excerpts:
