Having recently seen Wonder “Woman 1984,” I thought I would write a review that I know is unique among all its critics. In addition to offering up a synopsis of the movie and its events I also explore the morals and values within the movie itself. I look for and try to draw out Gospel teachings and principles or morality and righteousness that it contains and which we might seek to enact in our own lives. There is a lot to really love about this movie, not the least of which is how it treats its characters, its themes of loss and redemption, and how even the most wicked deserve love and are worthy of being saved. The movie is not only fun, but it has meaning and ideals that made it worth my time and money.

What Do You Do When An Apostle Is Wrong?
This is a topic that I think is important to address, yet it is one that we are often afraid to address. Perhaps this is because we feel like that by pointing out or acknowledging where the Brethren are in error that we are questioning the Lord Himself or like we might damage another’s faith. Yet we all know it happens. Apostles are often wrong when citing scriptures and when citing history. And refusing to address the issue creates a very unhealthy aura of infallibility around the Brethren that not only forces more weight upon their shoulders than they already carry but it also creates a very weak and sandy foundation upon which to build our own testimonies. This article is dedicated towards answering this important question in a way that will help the believer maintain and build faith in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Restored Church of Jesus Christ, and His appointed leaders while also acknowledging and understanding their own fallibility, their ability to commit error, and how their doing so should impact our own understanding of the scriptures.
