Proxy Baptisms

I'm as surprised as you are about the number of posts on my blog recently.  It is turning more into a place where I can share interesting things I come across rather than a place to lay out my thoughts.  Here is a very interesting blog post that was brought up on another blog I regularly follow.  If you ever need a good place to send your Jewish friends that ask about why we do proxy baptisms then I have the place for you....

Egyptian Works

If you deal much with LDS apologetics on either side of the fence then you know that the Book of Abraham and the Kirkland Egyptian Papers are very difficult to follow and argued by many as the weakest link in the Joseph Smith as a prophet chain.  If you have put much time into this at all then enjoy this presentation given at a recent FAIR conference.  Two great videos that potentially restart the entire game on the BofA.

Awesomeness

There have been many things I was tempted to post about over the past few months, but with a fourth baby, work getting terribly busy and my scout calling, I haven't had anything motivate me enough to post despite the aforementioned difficulties.  I even started a couple, but have them saved as incomplete edits.  Anyway, I really like the church's new marketing/media campaign and I couldn't resist posting this link that I have below.  I think the campaign will sync well with the general population, and I really like the following example of it.  If you haven't created one for yourself (and you are Saint of record), I highly recommend logging in and doing it.
