So I got word today that my Mormon.org Profile has been approved. That is pretty awesome. Since it is not live I have no idea how to link to it, so I took a screeshot. You can see the top of it at the link below.

I still think this is really neat. If you have not set up your profile, be sure to do that at http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/new-mormon-org.

This Diamond Rio song being banned from the Radio The song you are about to listen to is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio concert.. They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn’t play it because it was considered ‘politically incorrect’. Consequently, the song was never released to the public.. So America , see what you think.. If this offering speaks to your heart and you feel you want to share it with friends and loved ones, please do.

There is great list of all the official Facebook pages for the Church posted on LDS Media Talk today. They have a bunch of them!!

I subscribe to most of these and really enjoy getting a little spiritual nourishment in the sea of farmville and mofia wars.

Great post on the LDS tech forum that asked how to create a custom mailing label specifically for a group in the ward. Alan Brown posts a fantastic how-to!

“Three nationally-known artists have joined together to share their witnesses of Jesus Christ through beautiful, inspiring art and music. Enjoy the Son of Man Project with your family. It combines the artwork of renowned Christian artist Liz Lemon Swindle, the music of acclaimed composer Kenneth Cope, and the writings of religious scholar Susan Easton-Black.”

What an amazing way to use technology to combine the arts to share the gospel!

I came across a recent thread this morning on LDS tech forums where someone asked how they could share docs. The idea of using Google Docs came up. I have been doing this for years and find it is VERY helpful.

In almost every calling I come into I find that communication is key for us and usually set up a google spreadsheet because it allows me to share tabs without having to add people to multiple docs. It is all in one place so that we can open that up in meeting and have all the information we need.

It is also great for passing on information to the next leadership person. So much is lost in that transition… but this helps it along.

You could also, as was suggested in the thread, just share out a folder in google docs and just add files to that.

How else have you used google docs? Any other programs you prefer? Microsoft’s new office online looks pretty promising too.
