Russell's Ruminations

These writings are my own. I try to support my thoughts with quotes and scripture references – my thoughts are in blue; references are in black. I don’t profess doctrinal infallibility or authority, nor do I have any standing as a spokesperson for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you find these writings useful, I am pleased. If they contend with your understanding of a subject, I apologize. If there a topic you wish to discuss, I will do my best to respond.
