Performance Honors Polynesian Cultural Center's 50 Years

Pinning the Mormon Image: on Mormon (non)distinctiveness
MR says: Interesting rundown of Mormons on Pinterest, what it looks like, and how we use it. Last September, I wrote about the Mormon “hey girl” meme as a signifier of Mormon culture. I’d like to continue in that vein today when talking about Mormon pins on Pinterest. I’m not the first JI blogger to...
LDS veterans share inspiring stories of courage, valor
MR says: The stories this man has gotten are incredibly inspiring. You can read some of them at an LDS Living feature story here: "Mortars and Miracles." The Saints at War project started in 2000 with...
New York Times: Hollywood Goes to Mormon Country for Good, Clean Fun
MR says: Really great, substantial article about the promise of BYU's animation department--and about the message they're sharing with Hollywood to increase positive influences in film. Fun to read. Allen Ostergar stood at the front of the lecture hall with a stiff and bashful smile, or maybe it was just...

Viral Music Video: "She's Goin' on a Mission"
MR says: A tongue-in-cheek song about the boys getting left behind after the change in missionary age. In just two days, it's become pretty popular. The band members have been careful to say they totally support the sisters--it's just that now the tables are turned, and in all likelihood, "Instead of Dear...
LDS Temples 101: a guide to understanding us Mormon folk and our love of the Temple
MR says: Simple and straightforward explanation of the temple. "5 days until I receive my endowments and I get sealed to my parents. Holy hurry up batman!" When I posted this on Facebook, I received a lot of questions, because my friends didn't know what I was talking about. That's when I realized, I'm...
College football coach called as Mormon bishop in Louisiana

Skyping Missionaries for High Tech Tender Moments
MR says: This is such a cool new allowance for missionaries to be able to Skype. Twenty years ago, could you have imagined it would be a reality today? In the run up to Mother's Day, I was a bit outspoken about taking care of our wives and mothers. It made for interesting conversation, and added pressure on...
Website lets members 'create' to share the gospel
MR says: You know all those beautiful photos taking up space on your hard drive? Now you can use them to help share the gospel. The typical responsibilities associated with the word "missionary" include young men and women spending days biking to appointments with members and investigators and long months...
Is the Sabbath still relevant?
MR says: Always an interesting topic for discussion, that seems to change with families as they grow. How do you approach the Sabbath? Once upon a time, in a little land called America, the Sabbath was a day of rest. Shops closed. Church bells rang. Girls in white stockings and patent-leather shoes and boys...
LDS Church working with Oklahoma officials to provide support in wake of tornadoes
MR says: We're glad to know so many are jumping to action so quickly. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expresses condolences to those affected by Monday’s destructive tornadoes that hit five states, the most devastating of which occurred in Moore, Oklahoma. It has been reported that at least...
