Re: Structuring our Prayers
I only structure some of my prayers, and I do so minimally. The rest are more like casting a net upward and hoping fish swim by.

Re: Is a stupor of thought a reliable answer to a prayer?

Re: Catholics Vs Mormons -- Issues faced in contemporary society
I have said for a long time that Joseph Smith implemented Protestant-ish weekly services ("low church") and Catholic-ish hierarchy and ceremonial services ("high church").
