The Juvenile Instructor is pleased to welcome BHodges as its latest guest blogger.  BHodges maintains his own blog, Life on Gold Plates, which primarily focuses on insights from the Journal of Discourses.  He offers the following short bio.

I’m a 26 year old journalism student/computer technician with an addiction to books that would make me an unfit parent, if I had any children. I served in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin mission from 2001-2003 and currently serve as the primary chorister in the Porter Lane 3rd Ward. I have a wonderful wife named Kristen, and an obedient dog named Chicken Delicious. My appetite for reading any and all things LDS has turned me into something of an autodidact. Recently my attention has turned to the Journal of Discourses, and in reading the volumes I concluded a blog of the more interesting or profitable parts would be a good project.

We look forward to the insights BHodges will contribute to the JI in the coming week.
