Steven Montgomery: Mars brightness by the end of August would certainly seem to me to qualify as a "wonder in heaven." What would give this idea more significance and credibility is if August 27th happened to be a significant date in Jewish or Mormon history.
_______________ I don't know about Jewish history, but I happen to have a little ditty called _On This Day in the Church_, put together by a quartet of Y professors, which provides the following. Born: Mary Musselman (became the wife of Peter Whitmer Sr. and mother of five Book of Mormon witnesses, and was the only woman to be shown the Book of Mormon plates.) Edward Partridge (first presiding bishop) John Whitmer (one of the eight witnesses) L. Jay Sylvester (Olympic silver medalist in 1968) as a world-class discus thrower) Spencer J. Condie (a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy) Other things that happened on this date: The organization of the first stake in North Carolina. Groundbreaking for the London England and the Taipei Taiwan Temples. The first Church area conference (which was held in Manchester, England) There is an event of stellar significance. A star representing Utah was added to the United States flag, bringing the total number of stars on the flag to forty-five. I think I would hold out for the hailstorm John mentioned. (That might have been on lds-doctrine.) Larry Jackson ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
