Elder Neil L. Andersen throws out the ceremonial first pitch at the Dodger's Game

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles's name was added to the growing list of people that have thrown out the first ceremonial pitch at the Dodger's game. Elder Andersen threw out the pitch on July 1st, joining the few who have done so from the top of the mound. The pitch was a strike right over the plate that was caught by Elder Ruben Acosta, an Area Seventy. On that same night, the national anthem was sung at the game by a Church member. This is most excellent news. For details, please see this link. Thanks to you all for your readership and friendship.

  2. Thanks for commenting. I often wonder if my posts are interesting for others, and, though traffic on the blog has increased substantially lately, I still am not getting as much traffic on the blog as I would like. Thanks for taking time to read my posts and for leaving this comment. It's nice to know I am making a difference in people's lives by blogging about the faith I hold to and the Church I love.

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.
