Spreading the Gospel of Mormon Arts

3.18.11

Recently on Facebook I linked to Mahonri’s post about The Book of Mormon Musical over at Dawning of a Brighter Day. The conversation that ensued was awesome and a few really good moments came out of it for me.
The first moment came when I wrote this in response to a friend (who is not [...]

Cupcakes Can Kill You. . . (An Interview with Mr. Tim Part II)

2.25.11

The second part of this interview is really more of a guest post. Mr. Tim one of the few people I know who lives artfully. He doesn’t just make music in his studio and then come home and forget about it. He doesn’t go to Church and be Mormon on Sunday and then go and [...]

“Cupcakes Can Kill You. . . (An interview with Mister Tim in two parts)

2.23.11

. . . especially when they’re made with death,” says Mister Tim, the quirkiest voice in a cappella music.

15 Authors in 15 minutes–Mormon style!

11.11.10

It seems the “15 authors in 15 minutes” meme is making the rounds again on Facebook. Most, if not all, of my Mormon friends listed the Book of Mormon or Joseph Smith as one of their fifteen. Some even went so far as to identify Moroni or Isaiah or Paul as an author. A few [...]

The Mormon Literary Proletariat (What are YOU writing?)

10.08.10

Kent’s and Jonathon’s recent posts about Road Shows have me reminiscing. Well, that and the fact that I’ve spent a fair amount of time the last month writing/organizing our ward’s sacrament meeting Primary program and pondering a poem/essay request for our upcoming Enrichment meeting in December. (I know we’re supposed to just refer to it [...]

Glowworms for Jesus: the Expressive Arts meets the Enrichment Committee

8.11.10

When I first met Nancy I thought, “She must be a convert. There’s no way a life long member would ever say that.”
That first impression was less about what Nancy actually said and more about what she did.
