Sometimes I think that being a single adult is a lot like living on manna from heaven for forty years. It is a lot of the same things over and over: the same FHE activities for many years; the same superficial, “Who are you, where are you from, and what is your...

This post was originally published on Third Hour. Minor changes have been made for formatting. Fasting is hard. I mean, no French fries?! Is that even the kind of world I want to live in? (Yeah, I know. I’m really dramatic. Especially when it comes to...

Those of us who are Christian often talk about how we trust God to help us through our lives, but sometimes we forget to act like we trust Him. Recently, I had an opportunity to be reminded that in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, faith is an action...

There are so many guilty feelings that come with being a mother, its crazy! There’s the feelings of “Am I teaching them the right things?” “Do my children know I love them?” “I yelled at my children—will they hate me forever??” “Am I giving my child enough attention?”...

A few weeks ago, a friend at work told me about a festival in downtown Tempe, AZ that I had visited before with my family. It was a very memorable experience then and I wanted to go again so my husband and I prepared ourselves to go for the whole day. We paid for...
