Shameless plug for those interested.  This year I'm teaching an exciting series for Education Week entitled "If You Could Hie to Kolob: The Council of the Gods in Modern Revelation and the Ancient World."  

The classes will be held Tuesday through Friday August 14th through 17th from 5:50 to 6:45 in the Wilkinson Center.

Going to be a lot of fun.

Friday covers the topic of Divine Council imagery in the Book of Mormon, and I'm sharing some fun insights that I haven't yet presented publicly.

My sister-in-law is getting married (supposedly) on Aug. 18 in Las Vegas. I actually might be able to attend.

Wish I could go.  First time I will miss it in many years.  But have to take care of someone who is recuperating from surgery.

I might still be around for this one, it'll depend on how things fall with work, but I'll try to make it. Sounds like it'll be most informative/interesting.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Oh Crap...he's awake!"

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.(John 21:25)

I hope so.  In the past, in the past, I've always just danced around the topic at Ed. Week.  This time the issue will be the focus.  I'm looking forward to sharing.

They recorded my series last year. The problem is that I usually end up saying one or two playful comments per session that don't make for good KBYUTV. As hard as I try not to, I'm bound to make a statement or two that makes my Mom's eyes roll.  They just come out in all the excitement.

I'm afraid I'll never be one of those "round-table" guys.

A pity. A much as I enjoy the "Roundtable" programs on KBYU-TV, I think a Bob Marley quote or two might liven them up a bit.

Edited by Scott Lloyd, 11 June 2012 - 12:20 PM.

To whom it may concern: If you feel inclined to do anything for or in behalf of me after I die -- or even while I'm living, for that matter -- that is comparable in intent to Mormon vicarious baptisms or other ordinances for the dead, feel free. I would even regard it as a magnanimous gesture.  I would appreciate the thought in any case.
Nobody gives you all the facts all at once, leastwise anti-Mormons and hostile critics. If selective focus or emphasis amounts to deceit, they are the worst of offenders.
If I detest anything as virulently as anti-Mormons obviously detest Mormonism, feel free to label me as "anti-" the thing I detest. I won't mind in the least.
An author who undertakes to criticize publicly another's religious faith and practice has the obligation, in the first instance, to understand it.
... and the anti-Mormon saith unto them: I am no anti-Mormon, for there is none — and thus he whispereth in their ears.
