This will be a brief post to inform those interested that Aaron Miller, a good friend and fellow blogger, briefly interviewed me about my blog and writing projects. That interview is now being featured on a prominent place on his blog. I have posted a link to this interview on Facebook, but will post it here as well for those of my readers who may follow my blog but not my Facebook posts. In this way, word about the interview should reach everyone who knows me and follows me on either Facebook or this blog. This is a great occasion for me, so I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed getting interviewed. I hope it will be the first of many about my life and writing projects. That said, here's the link:
Aaron Miller's Blog: Interview with James Stokes
I hope this will answer many of the immediate questions my readers may have about the current state of my writing projects. Nothing ready for publishing now. Publishing may be a far distant dream for me. But I am going to work for it and pray for it with all the energy of my soul. And I know that when the time and circumstances are right, God will give me this victory. Thanks for reading this, friends!

Interview on Aaron Miller's blog
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

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.
