ITS REWARDS Not here! Not here! Not where the sparkling waters Fade into mocking sands as we draw near; Where, in the wilderness, each footstep falters! "I shall be satisfied;" but oh, not here! There is a land where every pulse is thrilling With rapture earth's sojourners may not know, Where...

Abramsconfirms the the first movie trailer with footage will "hopefully be in theaters early to mid-Summer", meaning Paramount will likely be keen to attach it to "Iron Man".

In light of the media with Mitt Romney and his religion being in the spotlight (being the same religion as me), and being that the media and other people tend to construe what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is all about, I would like to address over a period of time/blog entries by...
this is a post that i'd kept private at the time that it was happening. I spent Thanksgiving last year in Kings Highway Beth Israel hospital. Three days before Thanksgiving, I got off of the B Train and realized that I had voicemail from my mother. I panicked - my parents never left me messages if...

ITS HAPPINESS "What! almost home?" "Yes, almost home," she said. And light seemed gleaming on her aged head. "Jesus is very precious!" Those who near Her bedside stood were thrilled those words to hear. "Toward His blest home I turn my willing feet; Hinder me not; I go my Lord to meet." Silence...
So every so often, I'm asked for book recommendations. It's harder than you'd think, because I read so much and I always worry I'm forgetting stuff. So here's a quick guide for the stuff you should read if you want to read like me. Broken into genres because I'm OCD it's helpful. And I'll do seven...

One Movie Studio To Rule Them All (stuff.co.nz) Red tape could be the only thing between film director Peter Jackson and the expansion of his Miramar-based movie-making studios. A stretch of land on the Miramar Peninsula, encompassing the run-down former defence base at Shelly Bay and Wellington...
"I've met someone." She says and inside, I flinch. "He's nice." Comes the additional measure, followed by silence. I nod, not looking at her. Half of me feels sadness at this change. So much history together, so much love. Why did things have to shift this way? I remind myself that she was never one...
It's been updated. Again. (I'm also going to add the books I buy this year as I buy them--and the new releases that I know I'm buying--so that it's a better list of what I've read and what I want to read.) The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison...
So I had the bright idea of adding all new books I buy and the books I know I will buy to the book project so at the end of the year I'll know what books I read. And so it will become apparent to all who read this just how much of a life I (don't) have. It's a lot, I know. But I also know I can...
What are 10 things you've done that other people probably haven't? Submitted by Janette. I'm not sure if there are 10. I mean, you realize if I've done it, someone else, somewhere must have, too, right? Anyway. Here are 10 things I've done that are probably fairly rare. 1) Convinced nationally-known...

I am allergic to peanuts and lobster - but ONLY if I eat them both within a couple hours of each other. 2. I love my dogs as if they were my children. Seriously, it's kind of scary how...
Yesterday, those of us who have been following the Haditha Marines case were rewarded with the news Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani had all charges against him dismissed. And about time, too. That's seven out of eight, with one Marine left to be cleared. Today, on the heels of the news Chessani was...
"After a war, a hero is just a man with one leg." —Anonymous "Fight the rich, not their wars!" —Anonymous (headline in Freedom, January 2003) "If it's natural to kill, why do men have to go into training to learn to do it?" —Joan Baez (attributed) "Bourgeois patriotism, as I view it, is only a...
I think it may have something to do with advancing middle age, but i seriously do not understand the weight of glory we give to celebrities in our culture. I'm pretty old school. I grew up in Western Nebraska with a rotary phone on the wall, a TV console that received CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS, and...
I spent a good deal of the past weekend thinking about greed and God and how America really came to be. A great film and a great history book can do that. There Will be Blood is simply one of the best films I’ve ever seen. I’m a sucker for history told well and honestly with great characters,...
I'm going to run through all the crap I've saved in the last few weeks interspersed with the occasional opinion. Here goes. Did you see Stephen Colbert's show about the strike? It aired last Tuesday and is worth checking out if you can find it. I think I mentioned this earlier, but NBC is doing away...
