PDF of May 2017 Ensign Now Available Online/Comparison of My Projected Table of Contents to the Actual One

Here I am again. As I mentioned in my previous post, I took time to study some General Conference talks today.  That study came in the form of perusing the newly available PDF version of the May 2017 Ensign, which just became available to view online today. I was also interested to see how the potential table of contents I had worked up compared to the actual magazine. I know some may consider my doing that every six months and reporting on it to be a waste of time, but it's something I enjoy, and helps to pass the time while I am not physically capable of doing much else. Hopefully some few of you will find value in what I post. I am heartened and touched by the number of views I am seeing on my posts lately. This indicates that, even if the comments are few and far between I look forward to hearing any thoughts you have on this. Please keep such comments respectful of me and of others. In the meantime, here is my projected table of contents again, along with what it actually looks like. Thanks.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
