Children Are An Heritage of the Lord

9 Comments

My wife and I had our second child, a baby boy, this last Sunday – 7lbs, 6oz., 20 inches.  Mom and Baby are all doing great!  We couldn’t be more happy.  Here are some pictures:

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalms 127)

Videos: Mormon Theology Seminar Conference on Alma 32

1 Comment

These are videos of the presentations given at the Mormon Theology Seminar’s Conference entitled “An Experiment on the Word: Reading Alma 32.”  It was held from 9am-4pm on Friday, September 19th, 2008 in B192 of the Joseph F. Smith Building on BYU campus.  I introduced my liveblogging this conference here.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good wireless signal in the conference room, and so the quality of these videos is poor, being broken into parts and some are missing.  But I learned a great deal about what to change for my next liveblogging/broadcasting to make it much better, so in that way it was beneficial.

Check out the new Mormon.org website that was launched today.  It is very clean and well designed, a big improvement over the former website.  A great new feature of the site that I’m sure will be used a lot is that visitors from anywhere in the world will be able to chat live with missionaries online at any time of the day.
