I can’t help but be impressed by the consistency and quality of Christopher Bradford (aka Grasshopper)’s new blog, Let Us Reason<\/a>. Over just the past few days, there have been several high-quality posts. Grasshopper discusses covenanting,<\/a> particularly the question of who sets the terms of the covenant.

And there’s also a post wondering in what sense the final judgment is final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This trend is rapidly moving Grasshopper’s blog onto my personal A-list of LDS blogs, which is pretty short — that is, blogs I try to read daily, even if I’m pretty busy (I read a lot more if I’m not busy). My list varies from time to time, I would say that at the moment it is comprised of T & S, BCC<\/a>, Sons of Mosiah<\/a>, and Dave’s<\/a>. And now Grasshopper.
