Sometimes you hear stories of amazing miracles, and the video below is one of them. (And this is an amazing miracle, a blessing and answer to thousands of prayers. I’m moved by the gratitude of this Mormon family, recognizing God’s hand in their lives.)
But what of the stories of sadness, tragedy, loss, and grief [...]

Not long ago, I sat in our Sunday meetings at church and listened to a very well thought out, well prepared and inspired lesson on the remarkable Prophet Joseph Smith. A few things really struck me as listened to the moving lesson. Most profound is that, I knew Joseph Smith was a true prophet of [...]

“Man’s greatest happiness comes from losing himself for the good of others.” (David O. McKay, from this talk)
Service is an answer for unhappiness. (Please understand that I am not saying that service is the answer for clinical depression or other mental illnesses, that is a hugely different issue.)

I recently found a picture that shows Jesus holding a little boy that looks just like my sweet three year old son. I bought it and showed it to him as soon as I got home.

I believe that there is a God.
No, it’s more than a belief for me.
I know there is a God.
Everywhere I look I see evidence of a God.
I see evidence of God in the sunset. In the clouds and in the stars. I see evidence of God in the ocean and on the land.
I see evidence of God [...]

Something unique about the Mormon faith that has greatly enriched my life is the multitude of opportunities for service. Many churches do massive amounts of service, but in the LDS church we also serve each other in set responsibilities referred to as “callings.” This results in blessings all around.

When I was five years old, my mother took me to a local shoe store to pick out new shoes for Kindergarten. I remember they were white and blue leather hush puppies with unbelievably white laces. I loved them. After purchasing the shoes and guiding my siblings and I into our blue Chevy [...]

Elder Henry B. Eyring challenged us in October 2007 General Conference to ask these questions daily:
Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch me (or my family and friends) today?
Did God send a message that was just for me?
What can I do to preserve that memory for [...]
