There was a city, and either because of the heights of the buildings or because of the hills in the city, the church had a site people could visit where you could walk out on these walkways that were high above the ground, maybe 100 to 200 feet. \[…\] ## [New signed bookplates available](https://sibleyguides.com/new-signed-bookplates-available/) _2026-08-24 · David Sibley · Sibley Guides_ I no longer sell books directly through this website, so I can’t personalize books for you, and I know that was the primary reason to buy a book here. I felt bad about that, and I am pleased to offer signed bookplates at no cost as an alternative.

His helmet was off, and you could see his face. He was a young man with fine blond hair and very handsome features. His space helmet was under his hand, and he was wearing a top hat. He was \[…\] ## [What is the Soul of the Soul?](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/21/what-is-the-soul-of-the-soul/) _2026-08-21 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ My brain’s favorite 3:00 a.m. thoughts are the ones that make it hard for me to get back to sleep. Here’s the doozy it woke me up with in the wee hours this morning. It said, “If the intelligence is the spirit of the spirit and the spirit body is the body of the spirit, \[…\] ## [Cute ‘Em to Death](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/19/cute-em-to-death/) _2026-08-19 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ One valorous rabbit decided, admirably enough, that it would no longer simply flee wolves. It would take the fight to them! The angel of rabbits appeared and approved. Then the angel asked, “how?” The rabbit said it would cute ’em to death! This would not work, the angel said.

It just had \[…\] ## [The Vicious Synthesis of Unmanly and Unwomanly](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/17/the-vicious-synthesis-of-unmanly-and-unwomanly/) _2026-08-17 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ The great cloud of unknowing around male and female doesn’t prevent us from seeing their virtuous and vicious syntheses all around us. The virtuous union of manliness and womanliness is marriage and family. The vicious union of gross manliness and gross womanliness takes many forms, but if you think about it and look around, you \[…\] ## [Job is Process Knowledge](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/16/job-is-process-knowledge/) _2026-08-16 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ The Book of Job has a surprising resemblance to a philosophical dialogue and that is probably deliberate. Although, unlike a traditional philosophical dialogue, Job has bursts of pain and feeling and sometimes contradicts himself in a very human way. The dialoguing is not the only resemblance to an ancient philosophical text. the classical understanding, philosophy \[…\] ## [Nurse-maiding](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/16/nurse-maiding/) _2026-08-16 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ My wife has been ill lately and I have updated my view that I have no patience for nurse-maiding. It would be closer to the truth that I have no talent for it. Perhaps even closer to the truth to say that I lack the confidence for it. Good nurse maids have a kind of \[…\] ## [Womanly](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/14/womanly/) _2026-08-14 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ If our society s understanding of the virtues and vices of manhood are bad, womanhood is worse. Our society is deeply feminized so, as one would expect, there is no clear understanding or term for vicious womanhood. But surprisingly, there is also no clear understanding or term for virtuous womanhood either. Men are bad and woman \[ \] ## [Manly](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/13/manly-womanly/) _2026-08-13 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ My understanding and our understanding (society s, the saints , America s) of male and female virtue and vice has even more gaps in it than normal. The normal pattern for gaps in knowledge is to have a strong idea of a virtue and its opposing vice, while having almost no concept at all of the opposing virtue \[ \] ## [100,000 Bonus Points Await You (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Wn8mXa9BvB6W) _2026-08-13 · **Sponsored**_ Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in the first 3 months. ## [The World-Changing Turtle](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/11/the-world-changing-turtle/) _2026-08-11 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ There once was a little aquatic turtle who lived by a small lake in the woods.

You also crave pickles and that deeply-charred fat on a good rich steak. By Priesthood hour, this craving has mysteriusly transmuted to wanting to hear President Hinckley s voice again.

There seems to be a distinct pattern where the kings of Israel and Judah sometimes start out well but always end with a caveat. It s not just David and Bathsheba and Solomon and his idolatrous wives, it seems to be pretty consistent. Whereas the Nephite and Lamanite kings \[ \] ## [But I’m Headed Home!](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/07/but-im-headed-home/) _2026-08-07 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ Out in a rough rural county there was a rascally young man who spent his evenings and late nights drinking and getting in fights at dive bars and roadhouses and collections of trucks pulled up around a bonfire out somewhere on a patch of dirt.

This was far more enlightening than anything else I have heard about Strong s book. The thing that hit me the hardest was Jacob explaining how we are often wasting our time explaining things the way we have for the last two hundred \[ \] ## [It Takes Two](https://www.jrganymede.com/2026/08/03/it-takes-two/) _2026-08-03 · G. · Junior Ganymede_ Most of the dumb boomer solutions to social problems amount to why don t you simply unilaterally establish an enforceable cooperative equilibrium -thus EDJCB Young Mr. Frog went a courtin but in that region and at that time there were no eligible young misses in the Animal Kingdom who were interested in Mr. Frog.
