David Whitmer and his fami-ly lived in Richmond for many years, and Oliver Cowdery lived here for a time before his death. Both David Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery are buried in Richmond. A monument honoring Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Har-ris—the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon—was erected in Richmond under the direction of Junius F. Wells. On November 22, 1911, the monument was dedicated under the direction of Elder Heber J. Grant. In this photograph, tak-en during a light rain, a prayer is being offered at the dedica-tion ceremony. A metal box within the base of the monument contained copies of the Latter-day Saint scriptures, the History of the Church, and other documents. https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/1797148.jpg1797148https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/175px-olivercowdery-sm.jpg175px-Olivercowdery-smhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/12061_133847744930.jpg12061_133847744930https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/175px-martinharrisat87.jpg175px-Martinharrisat872019-09-02T00:57:34+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/08/04/mormon-doctrine-on-the-dustbin-part-four/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/1899-edition-of-the-articles-of-faith-by-talmage_edited.jpg1899 Edition of The Articles of Faith by Talmage_EDITEDAn 1899 First Edition of Talmage's, "The Articles of Faith". https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/jesus-takes-the-scroll_jws_edited.jpgJesus-takes-the-scroll_JWs_EDITED"Jesus Takes the Scroll", an image from The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society media library. https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/banksy_2_edited.jpgbanksy_2_EDITEDBanksy, “Sweeping it Under the Carpet”, Mural, Chalk Farm, London Englandhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/722px-god_judging_adam_blake_1795_edited.jpg722px-God_judging_adam_blake_1795_EDITEDWilliam Blake, "God Judging Adam" (1795)https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/07/sweep.jpgsweepYeah . . . it's kinda like that, ain't it? https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/07/banksy_2.jpgbanksy_2"Swept Under The Rug" by Banksy2019-08-04T23:00:49+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/08/18/mormon-fideism-an-introduction-and-a-primer/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/brian-horner-bio-shot-edited.jpgBrian Horner Bio shot EDITEDhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/i-believe.jpgI BelieveAn excerpt from the song "I Believe" from the Book of Mormon the Musical that illustrates how fideism is often applies in Mormonism. https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/11/calvin-and-hobbes-fideism.pngCalvin and Hobbes FideismCalvin and Hobbes illustrate fideism of another kind.2019-08-04T22:35:02+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/07/07/mormon-doctrine-on-the-dustbin-part-three/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/the-many-wives-of-joseph-smith-chart-v2-0-full.pngThe Many Wives Of Joseph Smith Chart v2.0 FULLhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/the-many-wives-of-joseph-smith-chart-v2-0.pngThe Many Wives Of Joseph Smith Chart v2.0(click to view full image)https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1969-first-presidents-negro-statement.jpg1969 First President's Negro Statementhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/oath-of-vengeance.jpgoath of vengeancehttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/pre-1990-curse-oaths.jpgPre-1990 Curse Oathshttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/01/tabernacle-fire.jpgtabernacle-fireThe gutted remains of the Provo Tabernacle after it was gutted by a fire on December 17, 2010. https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/01/nauvootemplefirecca.jpgNauvootemplefirecca2019-07-28T22:00:49+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/07/21/pulling-down-strongholds-shattering-mormon-spiritual-conversion/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/10/chess-board-white-wins_cropped.jpgchess-board-white-wins_CROPPED"On this front, a stalemate is actually a checkmate."https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/10/darkness-to-light.jpgDarkness to Light2019-12-01T05:22:56+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2016/10/02/the-bite-model-and-latter-day-saint-mormonism/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2061/04/thoughts-are-things.jpgthoughts-are-things2019-06-28T20:10:17+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/06/23/it-aint-easy-but-its-worth-it-an-open-letter-to-former-latter-day-saints/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/rock-climber-in-indian-creek-canyon.jpgRock Climber In Indian Creek Canyonhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2081/10/515286947-612x612.jpg515286947-612x6122019-06-25T12:06:57+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2019/06/09/did-joseph-smith-order-the-nauvoo-legion-to-march-on-carthage-jail/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/the_rocky_mountain_saints_cover.jpgThe_Rocky_Mountain_Saints_coverhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/109692.jpg109692https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/allen_joseph_stout_medium.jpgallen_joseph_stout_medium2019-06-10T07:33:28+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2018/11/11/the-fruit-of-mormonism/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/draper-city-tree-of-life-close-view.jpgdnews treeoflife jaA couple look over the Tree of Life at Draper City Park in Draper on Friday, Dec. 30, 2016.

The underlying idea is that the Spirit-filled person would experience a kind of Zen-like internal calm (in polar contrast to my internal conflicts, for example). This is typically expressed in terms of stilling your mind until it becomes a millpond, so that the image of God can be reflected in you, or so that you can detect the slightest hints of the Spirit’s movements.https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/still-pond.jpgstill pondhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/goodnews2.jpgGoodNewshttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/goodnews1.jpgGoodNewshttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/goodnews.jpgGoodNewshttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/blog-26-jan-10-conflict-resolution.gifBlog 26 Jan 10 conflict-resolutionhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/passion-garden-jesus-7.jpgpassion-garden-jesus-7https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/elijahinthewhirlwind.jpgElijahInTheWhirlwindhttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/zen-serenity.jpgZen Serenity2013-07-15T05:02:48+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2012/06/04/indecent-ignorance-part-1/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/220px-lds_church_office_building.jpg220px-LDS_church_office_buildinghttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/images.jpgimageshttps://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/lying_cropped1.jpglying_cropped1https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/key_art_abc_news.jpgkey_art_abc_news2013-07-15T05:00:40+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2012/09/30/help-me-to-see/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/christ-healing-the-blind-man-carl-heinrich-bloch1.jpgCarl Heinrich Bloch (1834-1890) "Christ Healing The Blind Man"https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/christ-healing-the-blind-man-carl-heinrich-bloch.jpgCarl Heinrich Bloch (1834-1890) "Christ Healing The Blind Man"2013-07-15T03:23:19+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2012/10/16/an-open-letter-to-billy-graham-regarding-mitt-romney-and-mormonism/2013-07-15T03:15:32+00:00monthlyhttps://beggarsbread.org/2013/01/14/dear-brother-featherstone-part-2-of-2/https://beggarsbread.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/school-prophets-3.jpgThe School of the ProphetsThe room in Newel K.

Kimball, "The Miracle Of Forgiveness""Also far-reaching is the effect of the loss of chastity. Once given or taken or stolen it can never be regained. Even in a forced contact such as rape or incest, the injured one is greatly outraged. If she has not cooperated and contributed to the foul deed, she is of course in a more favorable position. There is no condemnation where there is no voluntary participation. It is better to die in defending one's virtue than to live having lost it without a struggle." - Prophet Spencer W.
