You’d Do the Same

Love One Another
My wife and I taught the 13 and 14-year-old class a short time ago—Maddy and Tristan and Eliza and Shaun, two Sydnees and Josh and Trevor. We heard a story about a Sunday School teacher that told each student “I love you” every week. We adopted that strategy and our...

How a Priest’s Prayer Changed Everything
I watched the priests as they took their places at the Sacrament table. They were smiling and talking. I enjoyed their mutual friendliness. I could tell the tall one in the middle was a jokester. Everything from his mop of curly red hair to his Scooby Doo tie to...

One Step Closer to Zion
Several things in this last Conference signaled to me that times are changing, and the Church is also changing. It started with the emphasis given in the women’s session on the refugees. The quotes in this article are from Linda K. Burton’s talk, which focused on the...
Family Movie Night: Saturday’s Warrior
Nostalgia is a tricky thing when it comes to movies. Some movies require it to be enjoyable and some movies are bolstered and made better by it. The Peanuts Movie, for instance, is a film that was made better by nostalgia. I really loved that film on its own merits...

A Child’s Soul

I am a Child of God
For just about 10 years, I have been singing “I Am A Child of God” to sleepy little boys. Sometimes when I sing that song, it is filled with deep emotion, but other times, I have to admit, I am merely going through the motions in the hopes that by the time I hit verse...
Family Movie Night: Powerpuff Girls
