Introduction

To bring you up to date… an enlightening chronicle that briefly takes you through the birth of a dream, around the enduring course of difficulties, obstacles, and distractions, then the sprint to the elusive finish line, which is always further away than it seems... but can't be far off now!

I have tried to keep these postings in a chronological sequence so, for first time visitors, go to the bottom of "What I've been doing" where you'll find the first entry and the most recent entry will be at the top.

I have recently felt the need to add a disclaimer. The tone of this blog tends to follow after the mood and interests of the editor. While its original intent was to chronicle my boating escapades, of recent, my adventures have begun to embrace a religious flavor. For this reason, I'd like to clarify that, although the posts may appear biased, I advise you to reject any notion suggesting that I, in fact, may appear to be endorsing any predilection or point of view. Anymore, I believe what I believe, which is between myself and I, and I have learned that beliefs are personal and deserve being protected from public scrutiny. Please view anything posted within this site only as food for thought.

Milk and the Word of Wisdom




     How in the world did Joseph Smith miss these terrible details while receiving revelation from God? (See links below.) Maybe God didn't know milk was bad? Or... maybe Joseph Smith didn't know it was bad while making up the revelation to appease his wife. Or... maybe the boys upstairs attending the prophet-school weren't spilling their milk all over the place and spitting it on the floor which then dripped through the floorboards all over Emma's kitchen table downstairs. If that had been the case, what better reason could there be to have included it in the revelation... especially now-a-days considering the recent discoveries about how milk has such an adverse effect on our health. If Smith had included milk in his revelation he might have been laughed at and severely persecuted for it back then, but just think what a hero he would be today.
     Based on these discoveries, I think that everybody should write a letter to Pres. Monson and plead for him to petition the Lord for an updated Word of Wisdom revelation that will restrict entrance to the celestial kingdom from those who risk their health by defiling their bodies with milk. The act of being reasonable must be compelled.
