6 Ways to Improve Your Temple Experience
Arianna Rees
- This article recently appeared in the September/October 2018 issue of LDS Living magazine . A few weeks ago, I had a very mediocre temple visit. I was stressed about all of the things on my to-do list and had a nasty headache. Needless to say, by the time I went inside, I felt frazzled. I drummed my fingers impatiently on my armrest, and when the session ended, I zipped out as fast as I could. It wasn’t until I was in my car driving home that the remorse set in, and I realized I had spiritually wasted my trip. I’ve tried...

How to Accept the Change When a Parent Remarries
Kelsey Berteaux
- More than 50 million remarried people currently live in the United States alone. Two of those people are my parents. In just over 14 months, they went from a couple of 25 years to divorcés to members of new blended families. I and my four adult siblings quite suddenly found ourselves with a stepfather, a stepmother, and five new stepsiblings. And for a long time, I wasn’t really sure where I fit. Feelings like mine, of loss and confusion, are common for adult children of remarrying parents, as are feelings of guilt and frustration from the remarrying parents. And for Latter-day...

How an Atheist Came Back to the Church and Found Peace Despite Doubt
Leo Winegar
- Developing Doubt “I know that the Church is true, that Joseph Smith is a prophet, and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.” For over 25 years, I had spoken those sacred words thousands of times. Yet somehow, I found myself sitting in my stake president’s office, feeling lost and in despair, questioning everything I had previously “known” to be true. My stake president was an intelligent and honest man, but as I sought his counsel regarding various Church history questions, I quickly realized that he wasn’t much of a historian. In other words, instead of answering my...

Danielle B. Wagner

But what made this event even more unique was that this eclipse was also a wolf and supermoon, making this celestial event a rare super blood wolf moon.

A supermoon occurs when the moon is at the closest...
