Today is the annual “I Agree With Moroni 8:18″ day. Why don’t Mormons believe their own scriptures? Not everything found in the Book of Mormon is wrong and Moroni 8:18 is one example of that. Unfortunately, since Mormonism continues to change, Mormons no longer believe this verse.
Read this short article for an explanation and be sure to watch my YouTube video on why I agree with Moroni 8:18.
Barack Obama meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?”
“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.”
Obama frowns “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?”
The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle.” The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”
Tony Blair walks into the room. “Yes, my Queen?”
The Queen smiles. “Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?”
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, “That would be me.”
“Yes! Very good,” says the Queen.
Obama goes back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president, the same question. “Joe. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”
“I’m not sure,” says Biden. “Let me get back to you on that one.” He goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men’s room and recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall.
Biden asks Powell, “Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”
Colin Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!”
Biden smiles, and says, “Thanks!” Then, he goes back to speak with Obama.
“Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Colin Powell.”
Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells into his face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”

A few weeks ago one of my friend’s from our Sunday school class hosted a guys night out. We ate BBQ, played Texas Hold ‘em poker and played Rock Band until 1:00 in the morning. Out of the blue, our oldest son asked at breakfast this morning, “Daddy, you know that Man party you went to?”
I answered, “Yes.”
He asked, “Did you play hot potato there?”

The hill Cumorah is sacred ground to the Latter-day Saint. This is supposedly where Joseph Smith found the golden plates, buried under a stone. It was these golden plates that Mormons believe was translated by the gift and power of God into what is now known as the Book of Mormon.
I stumbled across this interesting video that discusses a recent find at the Hill Cumorah.
Oh, did I wish you a happy April Fool’s day?
