I could see Jesus wearing Adidas Superstar shoes with no laces like Run DMC. Or maybe a pair of black/red original Air Jordans. He'd be super cool with all the kids.

Mormon Row was a group of historic cabins just outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming settled by pioneers. There are signs everywhere and they promote it as a tourist destination. Another favorite is Mormon Road, a small road just outside of Whitehall, Montana. I often wonder if they banished the Mormons to live outside of town. That would be quite an insult if you've ever spent time in Whiteh

About a year ago, a husky breeder (later deemed illegal breeding operation) released all his dogs into the national forest outside of Whitefish. A few days later, a local woman shot one of the dogs thinking it was a wolf. She skinned the dog and posted it on social media to "impress her boyfriend she could shoot and skin a wolf."

We don't need scientific facts to know that Joseph Smith knew all along about people who lived on the moon. “The inhabitants of the moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the earth, being about 6 feet in height. They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style or the one fashion of dress. They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand

As a fellow boomer, I agree the continued passing of the generation will continue to reduce church/temple attendance as well as tithing contributions. Over the short term (next 10 years), I believe the church will be the beneficiary of estate gifts from believing boomers who know it will buy them a spot in the celestial kingdom. I've seen this with my parents and know of many of my friend

Yellowstone National Park is full of magic mushrooms due to the 6,000 plus bison that roam the Park. They are especially common in the Northeast portion in the Lamar Valley where 3,000 to 4,000 congregate to mate in late June (now) and stay through August. I spend a number of days fly fishing the Northeast section of Yellowstone and always chuckle when I run across mushroom pickers since t

Mormon artist Arnold Frieberg was in my childhood ward in the early 70s. He once showed up at fast and testimony meeting dressed as a Canadian Mounty (he was obsessed with Canadian Mountys and had many paintings that included or featured them). It was shocking enough because Arnold seldom came to church. He even had a sword that was given to him by a senior Canadian official. He walked in dur

I have worked in non-profit all my life and currently manage a conservation organization.

I'm not surprised Montana leads the list for hate groups per capita. The state's political make-up was already complicated and added another level during the Trump era. The most populated towns tend to lean democrat. This would include Helena, Missoula and Bozeman (my hometown).

A major reasons Mormons stay is a fear they will miss out on getting selected to the Mormon Space Daddy's highest level when they kick the bucket.

I lived in Helena, Montana for five years and only met one Mormon family so I was surprised to see the announcement. Helena has a huge Catholic presence and a beautiful cathederal.
