About JPH3

However, I do hope that you visit periodically just to see what’s up with us, and maybe also get a glimpse of our thoughts, feelings, and whatever else happens to be on the plate d’jour.

This here’s the TV. Two hours a day

so as you don’t ruin
your appreciation of the finer things.
And this here’s the divan, for socialisin’
and relaxin’ with the family unit.

Many’s the day we sat there and we said
”Wouldn’t it be nice to have a youngster
to share our thoughts and feelings?”

Dear LDS Blogger,
I am with LDS News Source, we are a company that has just launched an online news portal for the members of the LDS Church. As of this message our site searches over 5000 newspapers worldwide every hour on the hour and compiles any and all articles that pertain to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints into one place, it also translates that news into 24 languages. Our goal in building this was to create a place where members and non-members alike can go and find out what is happening with the church and its members world wide. It is also our answer to Elder M. Russell Ballard’s speech at the BYU Hawaii Commencement Exercises last year where he said:
“may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple, clear terms the message of the Restoration. Most of you already know that if you have access to the Internet you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you know to be true. You can download videos from Church and other appropriate sites, including Newsroom at LDS.org, and send them to your friends. You can write to media sites on the Internet that report on the Church, and voice your views as to the accuracy of the reports. This, of course, requires that you, all members of the Church, understand the basic, fundamental principles of the gospel.
We are living in a world saturated with all kinds of voices. Perhaps now, more than ever, we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us. Far too many people have a poor understanding of the Church because most of the information they hear about us is from news media reports that are often driven by controversies. Too much attention to controversy has a negative impact on peoples’ perceptions of what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really is. ”
Last week we launched the site and we would love to know what you think about it. As an LDS Blogger we were hoping that you would be willing to write about our new site and share your thoughts with your readers. We would also like to invite you to do a banner exchange with us if you are interested. We have created a section of the site to display a list of all of the LDS Blogs, you can sign up yourself by going to this link:
