I do not know as I have never met him. I will never say I love someone simply because of their position in life. But if he were to post a picture of a really killer burrito he got from Rancheritos there would be a line of cars full of members trying to buy a three-meat burrito at the same retaurant. Oh, and heaven help you if you go to Betos instead...you heathen.

You cracked me up with this one...!!

Why have a breakfast burrito, when you could have this wonderful creation?

Threadjack: Here is my story about this video. You may notice it's dated 2010. Well, that year I had a good friend who was battling cancer, who was also a very healthy, picky eater, and who never watched food network or anything like it. One day she told me that the cover of a magazine at her work had a picture of some big-hair southern lady on it, and did I know who Paula Deen was. I pulled out my new iPhone and googled Paula on YouTube, and this was the video that came up. We laughed so hard we cried. I could not have picked out a better 60 second clip to capture the essence of Miss Paula Deen.

The liberal members understand that if they push hard enough for long enough and have enough people pushing that direction then the Church will change direction.
The conservative members believe the Church only moves when God tells them to-they believe the Church and Christ are one and the same. That the top leadership talk with Christ as if a man talks to another man.

The liberal members understand how the conservatives think but how the Church actually operates-so they push and push and push because the KNOW for a fact that when the Church moves-it moves the conservative members with it. It's devolved into a power struggle but the conservatives haven't figured out how the game is played.

Holy smokes!!!!

This is the most mind-expanding thing I've read in a long time.

This is the CRAZY truth. I'm quite conservative, too. I think the take-away is that a lot of what goes on is PHONY, in order for it be swayed, at all.

The liberals are clued in to the growing fact that they and the church are similar creatures. We conservatives don't want to believe it.

Unfortunately, true. I wouldn't have said this 10 years ago, but by the Church's actions over the last 10 years they have demonstrated that this appears to be the case.
