Apparently, we're "very sophisticated communicators." :) Does that mean he was moved by the Spirit? Also interesting about the supposed connection to Monsieur Romney.

The last link is a pastor with some stewardship over church communication who has some interesting comments about what we "can learn from the Mormons." He believes little doctrinally, much marketing'ly. I believe that the living waters of revelation from God are found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, given to his prophets and personally to all seekers of truth. I did, however, find his article very interesting from his point of view.

Dev and QA teams for the new mormon.org. Good times, especially those had during the light of day!

Today was launch day. (and test day and debug day and day of much eye strain -- not recommended)

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Has everyone seen the fantastic new beta.lds.org? It's stunning, beautiful, clean, the search just works, and it's all true and uplifting content. What more could you ask for? Ok, maybe Gen. Conference in mucho media formats, revamped scriptures pages, or search for the words of the prophets.

Most of the mormon.org team.

Here's our FHE addition to the canon of children's songs. Two new verses of Follow the Prophet for the rising generation:

Gordon B. Hinckley, happy and upbeat.
Helping build the family, it’s always a big feat.
Helped build many temples, taught youth the "6 Be's".
Him will we remember for eternities.

Thomas S. Monson, called for us today.
He’s our living prophet, in the latter-day.
Stories of compassion, we always love to hear,
Setting an example, filling us with cheer.
