@jonathanplumb @EricCMeadows You haven’t asked to speak to our leader. Even if you did, I’d probably point to @OaksDallinH. Then sit and watch.

DOES SATAN KNOW THE FUTURE?
You might want to say no.
Maybe you’re right.
But I always find little hints throughout history that make me wonder.
For instance, did you know a mighty storm amidst a voyage from Europe to America — and a perfectly-timed gust of wind — nearly killed Joseph Smith’s ancestor, John Howland? Were it not for God guiding a rope into his hand, he would have almost certainly died.
The account is found in Governor William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation (written 1630–1651), the only eyewitness-derived account of the voyage:
“And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.”
So was this Satan with foreknowledge of a descendant that would help bring about the Restoration? Was he trying to thwart God’s plan before it unfolded?
Sure, it could just be a fluke. People were thrown overboard and perished in these voyages all the time.
But I’m curious for your thoughts.
Personally, I think there’s a good chance Satan understands the future far more than we give him credit for. Not that he is omniscient or knows all things like God — but that mankind follows a plan established from the beginning, and Satan knows enough of that plan to try to destroy it.
And perhaps that is why history so often feels like a war over bloodlines, covenants, dispensations, and promised individuals.

@BlackBlessedLDS If Santa Claus wasn’t real, then who punched Arius at the Council of Nicaea? Someone’s parents?
Check and mate, Santa deniers.

Everyone is fan boying over this Orson Scott Card guy lately. I'll have to investigate if the hype is worth it.

@jcdav The weekly phone calls became the highlight of my entire week.

@EricCMeadows lol. We are a mess. I can’t imagine how parents did it in the old days with only snail mail. At least we can message her and talk once a week.

@jcdav Oof. It’s tough but you’ll be giving extra strength. Time will play tricks on you. It will feel simultaneously really fast and really, really slow.

There’s been an uptick in Wisconsin cheese hate.
Since 1995, Wisconsin has won more total cheese awards (across competitions) than any other U.S. state or country, with a cumulative medal count surpassing 7,600 as of 2025.
