I had a thought during church on Sunday.
You know how some folks claim the Book of Mormon is a fake because it quotes extensively from the Bible, that the quotes are almost, but not quite, the same as the King James Version?
How is that different from the excitement created when researchers find an ancient text that is almost, but not quite, the same as the Bible? Scholars are all agog when they discover some ancient writings that corroborate The Gospels or Old Testament texts.
Museums in major cities around the world hold exhibits comparing these doctrines with the Bible you and I have on our self at home. What a great find!
Somehow they can't accept the Book of Mormon for what it is. The spirit of Professor Anthon is alive and well today.

I think you two need to sign your posts - you know, mom, dad, S, D something! :) Other wise it's hard to know what voice to read it with! And it can be quite unnerving to read something with Mom in mind, only to realize it was Dad talking all along! Wierd!
Love,
Bree
