"And upon these I write the things of my soul...For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them..." (2 Nephi 4:15)
"And I was about to write more, but I am forbidden; but great and marvelous were the prophecies of Ether; but they esteemed him as naught, and cast him out; and he hid himself in the cavity of a rock by day, and by night he went forth viewing the things which should come upon the people." (Ether 13:13)

About Me
- Name: Alienated Wannabe
- Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I am a very imperfect person. Despite this glaring reality, during my life I have tended to be rather opinionated—editorializing as if I had all the answers. (Typical blogger!) I hope, however, that I am growing in humility.
I say this because the more I have learned, the more clearly I have been able to see how little I actually know. Plus, a lifetime of personal blunders has had a way of nicely undermining my pride beyond all repair.
I now find myself having very little confidence in either my own, or anyone else’s, wisdom. There is one notable exception. I have come to have a much stronger belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and his wisdom. For me, his ways and teachings have consistently proven themselves over time to be true. He is the only one I ultimately trust—my only hope.
In my weakness, I seek to serve him, my family, and my fellow man. I also want to have some fun if possible. In that spirit, I write what I do.
To the few folks who actually read my blog, I apologize for my imperfections. I am doing the best that I can. I hope you find value in what I have to offer. God bless you.

I rarely miss a Glenn Beck show. He's great!
I assume this was recorded last night. Since his show is nothing but a non-stop attack on those who disagree with him supported by lies and half-truths and without any redeeming journalistic value, I know it must have been all done before he was converted and filled with the love of God and of his fellow man.
Thanks AW, that's a great video.
Thanks for commenting Candace, Democracy Lover & Cameron! I always appreciate that.
As for your observation, Democracy Lover, please try to keep in mind that Glen is just like the rest of us: He is a work in progress.
I don't agree with everything he says or does (Shoot, I don't agree with everything I say or do!), but I sincerely love the man. And, I am very impressed with the progress he has made in his life.
He has come pretty far. He is going in the right direction. I have confidence that he will continue to grow throughout his life.
Please, bear with him, and me, and yourself. We all need people to cut us a little slack. Right?
Thanks,
A.W.
