It’s the same in Every. Single. Movie. Really, though. Every fairy-tale, every so-called “girl-power” chick flick. They all seem to end in exactly the same way: with the swoon-worthy guy at the end. Minus, you know, Disney’s Brave. But...

We recently went on vacation to Orlando, Florida and brought the whole family. In the days before the trip, I did everything I could to ensure my high functioning autistic son would be comfortable on our journey. I packed his favorite stuffed animals, blankets, and...

I was talking to my son the other day, and he surprised me by bringing up Hell. He wanted to know where he was heading and what it would be like. This healthy eight-year-old stunned me by the change in topic, but I tried to roll with it. (Obviously he is going to...

At some point in the next few days, the excitement of conference will wear off and will be replaced with questions — primarily, how are we going to implement the Church’s focus on the home and family as a unified source of gospel learning? As we do this, our minds...

I love social media. But recently I’ve learned how it can be used to cover up horrible things. In my life, I’ve lived all over the country. And social media helps me keep in touch with many friends from many places. There are many positive things online. I love...
