Default Greetings

Looks like I'm just another among the multitude of lawyers on the board, but thought I'd at least say hello. Poked my head in here awhile back, and after growing tired of the "other board" blather about Utah restaurants and superficial religious threads, I decided come over for what appears to be a little more thoughtful discussion.

Love BYU football, don't like BYU basketball (front-running Rebels fan who grew up in Vegas). Trying to sort out my religious beliefs during the last few years by diving into everything I could find after a family member decided the church wasn't for him. On the days I'm pretty sure God exists, I think the Mormon conception of existence is the best framework I'm aware of to help me become a better person.

Married, a few kids, love to run trails, and looking to start doing some ultramarathoning.

Welcome aboard, Fish.

Believe it or not, we like lawyers from Henderson.

You should get a Golden Retriever. My wife told me we could train a dog to retrieve the paper and possibly even the mail. If it doesn't work you, you can always get a wide screen and a Wii.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

I don't know, that training stuff sounds like a lot of work. Will there be doughnuts afterwards?

I remember. I have been exercising my right ankle while watching Chips re-runs so that I will be able to use the accelerator and the brake while watching your skinny butt in its saggy lycra from the comfort of my overstuffed leather bucket seat in my pick-up turned sag wagon. The ride through the tetons, minus the skinny butt part, will be nice.
