Church basketball: What ever happened to brotherly love?

Last updated Monday, April 9, 2012 - 9:40am

During a recent church ball game, I found myself wondering what sick-minded person honestly thought of the idea of combining church and basketball.

My team was being throttled, 77-21 to be exact, and the other team showed no signs of tiring. I was actually expecting them to break 100 points. However, our loving head coach finally stepped forward and said we were forfeiting the game. Thus brought the end to the mass slaughter referred to as the LDS 6th Ward versus the Meadows Ward B.

An apology: My Sunday column said Sen. Orrin Hatch was one of many prominent people who have written U.S. District Judge Dee Benson on behalf of Brigham City Dr. Dewey MacKay, asking that MacKay receive a lenient sentence for his drug convictions.

As far as I know, Sen. Hatch is not among those who have written to Judge Benson on MacKay's behalf. I should not have included him in that column. I did so in error.

WASHINGTON — At 19, Jon Huntsman arrived in Taiwan for a two-year gig as a missionary for the Mormon church. He didn’t receive a warm reception. The Taiwanese government was furious at the United States for re-establishing diplomatic ties with China, and the people whom Huntsman was there to recruit to his faith weren’t much happier.
