Wanting to Want to Be Spiritual
MR says: Love this honest post by a former Relief Society president, in which she says it's hard to really want to increase our spirituality. What do you think? I just passed the one-year mark of being the Relief Society President in my ward. When I tell people about my job at church, they always have the...
Free Printables from BYU Women's Conference 2013
MR says: Who doesn't love free stuff? Visit the full article to download. The first day of Women's Conference is over, and we heard tons of quotes that would make good printables. But there just wasn't enough time to make them all, so you'll just have to do with these for now . ....
Promblems
MR says: It's prom season! Here's a great post on some of the problems teens face from a dad and former bishop. Prom. The very word conjures up memories of tuxedos, corsages, money, boutonnieres, money, dancing to disco music in formal clothes, more money, and the imminent doorstep. My EC and I both went...
“As I Stand at the Edge of Eternity”: Joseph Fielding Smith’s Last Testimony
MR says: This is incredible. Love it. Joseph Fielding Smith was invited to participate in an M-Man/Gleaner Conference in Denton, Texas, scheduled for July 14-16, 1972, by recording a personal message to be played during the gathering. He dictated the text for his message on Friday, June 30, with the intent...
May 2013 Visiting Teaching Handout
MR says: Cute handout with memorable quotes from conference. Happy May folks! This months Visiting Teaching message is a collage of great quotes from general conference. If you don't want to print the collage, then you can grab each print individually using the links...
Christlike mothering: The mother's atonement
MR says: A good blog post for and on mothers, especially as we get closer to Mothers Day. I had just swept the final collection into the pile. "Pretzels, captain crunch, popcorn, cheerios, chips ..." I spouted off to anyone listening. "Nope. I didn't eat any of these things," I continued, as I brushed the...
Mormon Maori Prophecies and Apostasy
MR says: A REALLY cool blog post for any of those interested in Church history of other parts of the world (or just prophecies of the Church). You can read more about the Church in New Zealand in our May/June issue of LDS Living.
Revival
MR says: Great story with layers of reviving spiritually and through priesthood power. I served my full time mission outside of the US in a non-English speaking country. As anyone who has served a mission knows, there is a lot to learn and a very steep learning curve. When serving in an unfamiliar culture,...
Barnabee Bumbleberry and the Great Mustache Debate of 1960
MR says: A great little piece of history from the Church's *Friend* magazine. Barnabee Bumbleberry was a feature of the Children’s Friend for many years. The style of the cartoon changed according to the style of the illustrator – the 1960 cartoon featured here was drawn by Bonnie D. Malan. The gentle,...
She Walks in Beauty
MR says: What do you think? "Beauty and femininity are so deeply linked in our culture that it will take a seismic shift in our thinking to change this." In the last couple of weeks, a Dove beauty ad has gone viral. By now, I’m sure, many of you have seen it: how a series of young(ish) women are introduced...
'We are a question-asking people'
MR says: Great post about the important of asking questions of faith. I shared some thoughts yesterday on the Joseph Smith story and the personal impact it recently had on me as I read it to prepare for a lesson with the young women of my ward. It left me thinking of a few other things that I wanted to...
Praise or Prozac?
MR says: A good and very real discussion of depression and faith, from one woman's experience with the topic. This past month has been an emotional roller coaster ride. In the past instead of completely dealing with some major life events that may have sent me to the psychiatric unit (on more then one...
I’m Bored: Responses to Mormonism in the Pacific
MR says: Really interesting history of Mormons in New Zealand and Tahiti. She makes an interesting point that Mormonism isn't always met with violence or excitement; most often it's more a shrug of the shoulders. This week, I am traveling throughout New Zealand and Tahiti, partially as a vacation and...
The greatest force for good in the world
MR says: Cool insight from Elder Nelson this man got during a brief interview with him. As mentioned in my General Conference summaries, our Stake President, David P Homer, was called to be an Area Seventy. Our Stake Conference was already scheduled for the end of this month, so we will be getting a new...
Podcast: Responding to Anti-Mormons
MR says: Interesting fact: anti-Mormon literature typically increases Church interest and conversion. Here are some ideas of how to respond if you meet someone with these feelings. (Podcast at full story.) What can you do if you have friends or family members who are leaving the Church because of anti-Mormon...
