How to Include Everyone in Your Temple Wedding (Even When Family and Friends Can't Watch the Sealing)
Dawn Frandsen with Jamie Cline
- There are many scenarios that would render inactive, newly baptized, or non-LDS families or friends unable to participate in a temple marriage ceremony. If your upcoming wedding plans include one of these scenarios, the decisions you make about ways to include those family and friends who will be unable to join you in the temple ceremony will affect not only the planning stage and the wedding day, but will probably have a lasting effect for many years to come. If your attitude is one of patience and inclusion, hearts can be softened and future relationships strengthened. Here are some ideas to...
FHE: Trust
Shauna Gibby
- Conference Talk: For more information on this topic read "Trust in God, Then Go and Do," by Henry B. Eyring, Ensign , Nov. 2010, 70–73. Thought: Those who lost the blessing of coming into mortality lacked sufficient trust in God to avoid eternal misery. [We should] trust in God and His servants enough that we will go out and obey His counsel. (Henry B. Eyring, "Trust in God, Then Go and Do," Ensign , Nov. 2010, 70–73.) Song: “Nephi’s Courage,” Children’s Songbook , p. 120. Scripture: "For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and...

How Losing My Hair to Cancer Changed How I Think About Happiness
Merrilee Boyack, excerpted from "In Trying Times, Just Keep Trying"
- Life sometimes feels like being in a riptide, those powerful currents that run underneath the ocean. If you're in one and you try to swim directly to shore, the riptide will drag you back out to sea. As you continue to try to make forward progress, it will sap your strength. Many people have died trying to make it to the shore in a riptide. The key to surviving is to swim parallel to the beach until you find a safe area where there is no riptide. During difficult times in our lives, we swim sideways, hoping that the powerful forces...
LDS Dad and Former CIA Agent: "God Can Make the Limited Time I Have with My Kids Feel Like More"
LDS Living Staff
- Timothy Ballard didn't want to work in human trafficking. As a CIA agent, he'd been trained to fight terrorism. But then his boss requested that he help form a child crimes unit. Tim refused. “I told him no,” he recalls. “It’s the one thing I wouldn’t do. It’s the worst possible thing anyone can see. Who knows how that would affect you?” It wasn't until later, after speaking with his boss, his wife, and most importantly the Lord that Ballard felt this was his calling in life. ► You'll also like: Rescuing Children from Sex Slavery: One Mormon's Inspired Mission As...
6 Reasons Mormons Aren't as Judgmental as You Think
Danielle B. Wagner
- For years, I've been trying to distance myself from being pegged as "that kind of Mormon." You know what I mean—the stereotype we all conjure up in our head and usually describe as narrow-minded, judgemental, self-righteous, naive, and sheltered. But it wasn't until recently that I began to wonder if "that kind of Mormon" even exists. Living in Utah County, the heartland of the Utah Mormons, I have a whole host of LDS friends, neighbors, and acquaintances, but most of our conversations together revolve around how much those stereotypes annoy us and how none of us really fit into cultural expectations. We even often get...
