Welcome, everybody! As usual, I usual, I am recording from Port Angeles, Washington, which is not in the Rocky Mountains as the Podcast name might imply!  I started this blog called Rocky Mountain Sunshine while living in Utah, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, but we moved to Port Angeles, Washington, which still hasContinue reading “Top 12 Latter-Day Saints Podcasts – Ep. 33”

I can do better

I feel that I can do better in recording spiritual experiences.  I’ve felt a bit of writer’s block since the pandemic started. I think that it might be because of the many things weighing on my mind; from the health of my mother who lives in Utah and who’s had some health challenges during theContinue reading “I can do better”

Response to the blue-haired, nose-piercings, Agnostic.

(My response to someone self-described as “blue hair, asymmetrical nose piercings, gay, and identifies as Agnostic”) I like your writing style.

I think that even though I’m a faithful church-going, (well, at leastContinue reading “Response to the blue-haired, nose-piercings, Agnostic.”

My conversation has continued with my friend who I will call Jim. Jim asked, “How do you reconcile the contradictions of the Book of Mormon to the Bible?

Here are someContinue reading “Contradictions in the Bible and Book of Mormon”
