As Linsanity sweeps the nation, is LeBron James ho-humming his way to the greatest season ever? Only a few years ago, LeBron James was one of the most overwhelmingly popular athletes in America. He was adored by fans and media alike and widely beloved as the hometown hero of Cleveland, a sports town dying for something to cheer for. But that all changed in an instant. Just three months after “The Decision,” LeBron had already become the sixth most-hated athlete …

In the past 2 1/2 weeks I’ve lost 8 lbs. (on my way to 30 lbs. over the next 3 months,) and I owe it all to pomodoros! Now when I say, “pomodoros” I’m not actually talking about tomatoes. I have not gone on a tomato only, tomato infused, or tomato juice diet. Quite the opposite actually. The only time I eat tomatoes is when they’re in a burger or made into sauce on a pizza. The pomodoros I’m talking …

Nelson- Interestingly enough, Elder Nelson started off with an example of a faithful Russian couple who had converted to the Church and then been called to serve as mission presidents. After they had served, President (can’t remember his name…sorry!) suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I am currently at the home of a friend and her mother has …

As they say, “My momma didn’t raise no fool!” And since I am well aware of my propensity for an unplanned Conference snooze, I decided to blog while I listen to Conference! And so I present: Conference Breakdown – Saturday Morning Edition! Elder Scott- A tender, emotional, and vastly intellectual man. He states that ALL of the scriptures should be used to gather truth, and that some of the most fundamental doctrinal beliefs he has are rooted in Old Testament …
read moreIt seems like celebrities just can’t catch a break. At least not on Facebook. Sure, they may have lavish homes, fleets of luxury automobiles, high-paying endorsement deals, personal assistants, perks wherever they go, the ability to conjure money out of thin air due to their status, adoring fans, yachts, and one or two other minor comforts that most of us don’t, but when it comes to things like social media, they just can’t do a darn thing right! The latest …

A year ago, Lebron had it all: The adoration of a city, a state, even a country. Millions loved him. They bought his jerseys, flocked to his games, celebrated his victories, and mourned his losses. He was a hero. He was the “Chosen One.” Reporters …

Known for his lethal crossover dribble, Iverson received acclamation as the 2001 scoring champion and League MVP, leading his team to face the L.A. Lakers in the NBA Finals. His star shone brighter than perhaps any other player’s in basketball. 10 years later, though his NBA star power has disappeared, Iverson’s influence has never been felt more strongly. If you’ve been watching the NBA over the past season, you …

Derrick Rose is now officially the NBA’s Most Valuable Player. For most NBA fans, though, he has been the MVP since well before the All-Star Break. Since that time, only Dwight Howard has stood between Rose and complete domination of the public opinion. And while Howard’s list …
