YW Lesson 44: Using Time Wisely
Managing our time and finding balance in our lives can be difficult. But it is possible. The Lord has told us, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (3 Ne. 13:33). The readers who sent in their ideas agreed that things will fall into place if we prioritize correctly. Here are some of their ideas on how to stay balanced:
YW Lesson 43: Righteous Living
More than ever we need women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity who can hear and who will respond to the voice of the Lord. My topic is something that is very close to my heart. I have been married to Sister Ballard for 50 years. The greatest day in my life was the day I met Barbara...
YW Lesson 42: Courage to Try

YW Lesson 40: The House of the Lord
The gospel proclaimed to the world by the Latter-day Saints is the gospel of Jesus Christ as restored to the earth in this dispensation and is for the redemption of all mankind. The Lord Himself has revealed what is essential for the salvation and exaltation of His children. One of these essentials is that temples are to be erected for the performance of ordinances that cannot be performed in any other place.
YW Lesson 39: Drug Abuse
He was always a good brother to Becky. Now, her very life depended on him. "It's my life! I'm not hurting anybody else." What most amazed everyone was that John seemed so sincere when he said it. He really didn't seem to realize that he was hurting people all around him. He obviously...
YW Lesson 38: Nutrition and the Word of Wisdom
The Word of Wisdom put restrictions on members of the Church. To this day those regulations apply to every member and to everyone who seeks to join the Church. They are so compelling that no one is to be baptized into the Church without first agreeing to live by them. No one will be called to teach or to lead unless they accept them. When you want to go to the temple, you will be asked if you keep the Word of Wisdom. If you do not, you cannot go to the house of the Lord until you are fully worthy.
YW Lesson 37: Caring for Our Physical Bodies
The Lord wants us to be made over--but in His image, not in the image of the world, by receiving His image in our countenances. I have just returned from a visit where I welcomed into the world our newest little granddaughter, Elizabeth Claire Sandberg. She is perfect! I was awestruck, as I...

YW Lesson 34: Worthy Thoughts
Young Latter-day Saints, shape up! Face up! Take hold of your lives! Take control of your mind, your thoughts! I speak to our children and our youth and ask that you tell your parents and grandparents to sit quietly and not disturb us for a few minutes while we talk. I want to pass to you...
YW Lesson 33: Avoiding Degrading Media Influences

YW Lesson 32: Personal Purity through Self-discipline

YW 31: Group Activities: A Basis for Wise Dating
Whether you've just turned 16, or you have a few years' experience, dating can be nerve-racking. Group dates are always the best bet for a more pleasant, and less stressful, experience. And, as Allison McKee, 16, of the Buffalo New York Stake says, "Dating is so much fun. As long as you make important decisions beforehand, relax and enjoy yourself." Here are some suggestions from other New Era readers on ways to ensure a fun and wholesome date
