Take me out AT the Ball Game!

Haven’t bought a ticket yet in 5 years of frequent attendace :). An added bonus last night was that it was Thirsy Thursday, meaning all drinks are only …
Contemporary Mormon Music?
Mormon apologists and missionaries often assert that Mormonism and Christianity are compatible, if not basically the same, when even a cursory examination of the major tenets of both show that not only are they not the same, they’re not even compatible.
