GT>Book of Mormon page promoted to "Cool Sites" on Halloween Night
www.greaterthings.com/Book_of_Mormon/April_6_2001.htm#Halloween


Speaking of opposites, on Halloween night, the "Book of Mormon Resources at
Greater Things" page was promoted at the Open Directory Project as "cool
site."

see: http://dmoz.org/
(search "book of mormon" and select the second category listed)

This becomes the first page from GreaterThings.com to receive this
distinction.

For two months, our page has been the only one listed in the Open Directory
Projects new "LDS > BofM" category. Now with other sites being added, this
page has been promoted to a "Cool Site" status making it list at the top of
the category.

Besides the fact that this index is anything but mainstream and until now
has been the only entry in the Book of Mormon category, what is ironic about
this is the date: October 31 -- Halloween. One of the projects I worked on
earlier that day was updating the Halloween index. The
Christian world understands better than the LDS world that Halloween is not
a holiday we should be glorifying, especially not the goblins and demons,
witches and gore. Yet this evening, as I took my 23-month old son out to
visit a few neighbor's homes, dressed in his cute puppy-dog costume my wife
made him, the only time I had a fright was at the ward's Relief Society
President's home, where they had an animated goblin hanging on their door
that was motion activated, popping out at you as you approached the door.

Another irony of this date ties in to the address where we now live: 666
South. We actually chose that address when given some options because the
previous address was the same number as a neighbor two streets down. Our
reason was the opportunity it would give us to illustrate the fact that
there is an opposite manifestation for every word and number.

What day does our Book of Mormon Resources index get awarded the "cool site"
promotion -- the first page from GreaterThings.com of 56 listed there to
receive this distinction ? Halloween night.

At least one Mormon was doing something good on Halloween.
