About Me

I began to reflect: 2020 is the Bicentennial of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I dedicate this website not to the wise and the learned but to those of the rising generation, who, like the young Joseph Smith, are beginning to learn the things of God for themselves. "I began to reflect" is how Joseph describes his earliest yearnings for God. The Book of Mormon gives us added insights on the phrase: of Coriantumr we read "he began to remember"; "he began to repent." I began to reflect corresponds to I began to repent. I hold copyright for all postings and alone am responsible for all content. Nothing I post on Scripture should be considered an official or authoritative statement of the teachings or policies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I address all readers who love the truths revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith and all those who may yet learn to love them. I hold myself free from any investment whatsoever in polemics, apology, politics, religious controversy, or debate (see 1 Peter 1:15). "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right." Val Hinckley Sederholm, PhD, Egyptology, UCLA.
