So, I know Christmas is waaay over but this video was too good not to share. Conan O’Brien did a parady song on us and it really is funny.

I read some of the comments on NBC’s site and a few people felt it was attacking our beliefs. I think often we Mormons are overly sensative when anybody gives us attention—good, bad, or funny. Believe me, if I felt the video was bashing I wouldn’t post it. We, as a people, need to understand we truly are peculiar, and that if we don’t laugh at our uniqueness somebody else will. Anyway, I hope you found this as enjoyable as I did.

If you are having trouble viewing the video go here.

I stumbled across this music video a couple days ago and fell in love with it. To my knowledge the singer is not Mormon, but the lyrics have a really good message for the upcoming new year. And as Joseph Smith said, “If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things” (13th Article of Faith).

Have A Great 2010!

I received numerous request for the lyrics of Ian Axel’s song. So, a quick google search garnered the below lyrics. Hope it satisfies everyone’s curiosity! ~Paul W.

Ian Axel – This is The New Year

Another year you made a promise
another chance to turn it all around
and do not save this for tomorow
embrace the past and you can live for now
and I will give the world to you

Speak louder that the words before you
and give them meaning no one else has found
The role we play is so important
we are the voices of the undergroud
and I would give the world to you

Say everything you’ve always wanted,
be not afraid of who you really are,
cause in the end we have each other,
and thats at least one thing worth living for,
and I would give the world to you

A million suns that shine upon me
A million eyes you are the brightest blue
Lets tear the walls down that divide us
and build a statue strong enough for two,

I pass it back to you
and I will wait for you,
cause I would give the world
and I would give the world
and I would give the world to you

This is the new year
A new begining
You made a promise
You are the brightest
We are the voices
This is the new year
We are the voices
This is the new year

This is a bit late but I hope everyone had a great Christmas. It was a historic and beautiful one this year for my family, and we are excited to see what 2010 has in store. As for LDSFriends.com my new year’s goal is to launch our forums and blogs. We just finished with the coding last week and now we are putting on the content. Hopefully, we will have something live for everyone to test out shortly. Anyway, thanks for sticking with us! Have a happy New Year’s Celebration. ~Paul W.
