7 Things That Still Need to Happen Before the World Ends
Robert L. Millet
- This seems to happen in a cycle, about every 30 or 40 years. I remember very well attending the October 1972 general conference and hearing President Harold B. Lee chasten and warn the holders of the priesthood about paying too much attention to what he called “loose writings” among them, cautioning us against jumping on every bandwagon and attaching ourselves to every eschatological craze, assuring us that we did not need to stress over “the coming crash” of our economy or our society. Only weeks before he died, President Lee spoke to the students at Ricks College (now Brigham Young University-Idaho)...

5 Ways to Have More Quality Time with Your Spouse That Are Better Than Watching TV
Robyne Gallacher
- As a young couple struggling to establish a spiritual foundation in a temporal world, my husband and I have often found it challenging to reconcile demands of our educational pursuits, jobs, church callings, and other activities with the commandment to “cleave unto” one another (D&C 42:22). Preoccupations from daily responsibilities make it difficult to disconnect from the world and be present for each other. President Spencer W. Kimball said, “A husband or wife who places children, friends, careers, hobbies, or church callings before the marital relationship is in direct violation of the commandment [to cleave unto one another and none else]...

How I Was Shortchanging Myself in the Gospel (+ How You Might Be Too)
Katie Lambert
- I love lists. Well, love doesn't really describe it. Obsessed, maybe. I've seriously thought about creating a shirt that says something corny and awful like "Lists for Life," and I'd wear it every. single. day. Yeah, I love lists, and there are very few things more fulfilling to me than checking something off those lists. So, naturally, when it came to the gospel, I loved nothing more than to look at my spiritual to-dos (under "Spiritual" on my—you guessed it—lists app) and swipe them off as I went throughout my week. Read my scriptures for 15 minutes? Check. Read a conference...

15 Awkward Moments That Are Uniquely Mormon
Katie Lambert
- Everyone has awkward moments—Mormons are no different—but the peculiar situations we get ourselves into are. Whether your phone goes off during the sacrament or you start belting out the next verse of a hymn too early, there are definitely some awkward moments that are uniquely Mormon. Here are just a few: 1. When you forget it was stake conference and show up to an empty chapel. 2. When the only time you brought treats all year was on a fast Sunday. 3. When you start singing the next verse of the hymn a little too early. 4. When you forget you're speaking...
The Conversation This Marriage Counselor Had with Her Future Son-in-Law About Sexual Intimacy (+ What All Mormons Can Learn from It)
Dr. Christy Kane
- For the past 15 years, I have been involved in counseling individuals, couples, and families. In each of these settings, my life has been greatly blessed as I have marveled at the capacity of the immortal spirit to heal, develop, change, grow, and lead. During this time, I have observed several reoccurring themes that have been expressed by both individuals and couples. One critical reoccurring theme I wish to talk about is the topic of sexual intimacy. More times than not, individuals confide in me that their different perspectives and expectations regarding sexual intimacy lead to discord in their marriages and/or...
How a Near-Death Experience Taught One Woman the Gospel Before She Even Knew the LDS Church Existed
Danielle B. Wagner
- When Jane Moe shattered her ankle after her foot slipped into an exposed manhole in 2006, doctors told her she might never walk normally again. Jane and her long-term boyfriend Richard prayed for a miracle, hoping she could be healed. When Jane went into an intensive surgery where doctors attempted to reconstruct her ankle, she never expected that not only would her prayers be answered but that she would glimpse heaven. A Vision of the Dead After Jane drifted into an anesthetized unconsciousness as doctors worked to repair her leg, she remembers looking down at her body and thinking, “How can...
