A Command For The Compulsive

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 27, 2009

Some of us have had weeks like that, when we’ve had to build the moon and the stars, separate the waters from the dry land, and bring forth swarms of living creatures, all in one week. Every parent knows what ...read more

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 15, 2010
