The Utes are the 2008 Football Champs.
I’m a Cougar. I will always be a Cougar. I loathe the Utes. I will always loathe the Utes. The number of college football teams in preference to which I would want to crown the Utes as national champion can be counted on the fingers of one amputated hand.

Grace, Works, and the Meritocracy
Ross Douthat explains why meritocrats feel like they deserve their success. He says that you probably won’t succeed without the luck of good brains and good upbringing, but that then you have to follow that luck with lots of determination and hard work.

Christmas Devotional 2008
President Uchtdorf said that the angels came to the shepherds, the poor, not to the rich. At one point in my life that would have bugged me. Today I realized that the rich should want it that way.
