This Good Friday, I’m reflecting on several things Easter-related. Firstly, I’m thinking about how I wish “Easter ham” wasn’t a thing (I hate ham and always have; I literally have nothing good to say about this cut of meat), and secondly,...

There is a big elephant sitting in the room—a really big elephant. It sits in the United States of America. The elephant is the United States Constitution and our responsibility to our government, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in...

Editor’s note: This article is a little different than most—rather than a post written by Walter, it’s actually a talk someone else gave in an Easter Sunday sacrament meeting. This individual sent his talk to Walter, which is how you’re reading it today. Walter...

One of the most wise adages of all times instructs us, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I have always fiercely loved that quote, and it’s served me well throughout my life — especially in moments of...

My mom has had a job for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I never thought of her as a “working mom.” Whenever I needed her, she was there. I did everything with my mom when I was little. I would go with her visiting teaching, to her “Daughters of the Utah...

Some articles are just fun to write. This was one of them. I am one of those folks that loves people watching. Many times I find myself enjoying the interesting characters in the drama of life. Take Roger Ridley of Santa Monica, CA, for example. I love...
