Some thanksgivings

I learned yesterday about the LDS Church's plan to add "caring for the poor and the needy" to what was formerly the threefold mission of the church. This strikes me as an important, positive, inspired step on the part of church leaders.

I should also take this moment to commend the Church for its support of Utah's new gay antidiscrimination bill. Again, an important, positive step. Little by little, the Church is opening up to the further light and knowledge that Father promised to send Adam and Eve's posterity. It's hard for me not to be catty about this, since I think they're opening up to the light belatedly and much too slowly. But thanks be to God.
