Latter-day Saint Artist Creates Graphic Novel About Post-Mission Life
Deseret News
- On Sundays, people can typically find Brittany Long Olsen listening to podcasts with some kind of drawing utensil in hand, channeling her inner creative energy as she journals. "My best time to draw is Sundays," Olsen said. Olsen uses this day to draw comics about her life in a visual journal, and this practice has now turned into two published graphic novels. The latest, titled, " Comic Diaries Volume 1 ," was released late last year. "I work from home so my desk is my work spot, so when I'm doing creative projects I like to sit anywhere else so I...

LDS Living Staff
- The Amazon River: the world's strongest river and the largest in the sheer amount of water that flows along its banks and eventually empties out into the ocean. But this titan of the earth's rivers has an interesting backstory, one Elder Ulisses Soares shares in a new church video. In the video, Elder Soares explains that part of the Amazon's power can be attributed to two other rivers: the Solimões and Negro. "These waters eventually collide," Elder Soares says in the video. "Yet, even after these waters join, for many miles they do not mix. They remain separate and stubbornly independent...

Jonathan Decker, LMFT
- Whether it’s art imitating life or vice versa, society at large seems to agree with a prevalent theme of pop culture: nice guys and good girls are boring while bad boys and wild girls are attractive and exciting. Allow me to challenge this frothy fiction with the potency of reality: there is nothing more attractive than someone with a strong conscience. The Attractiveness of Integrity "Now how boring is that?" some might say. "Is there anything more predictable than someone who always tries to do the right thing?" While many people admit that being with a decent person makes sense, they...

14 Things You Didn't Know a Latter-day Saint Invented
Jannalee Sandau
- This article previously ran on LDS Living in June 2016. Have you ever heard of Philo T. Farnsworth? What about Lester Wire or Thomas Stockham? Each of these Latter-day Saints have shaped history by inventing devices we now take for granted, including television, the traffic light, and digital sound. And while Latter-day Saints by no means have a corner on the invention market, you probably still use many of their inventions today. Editor's Note: This is not a comprehensive list. There have been dozens of important inventions by Latter-day Saints throughout the years, but this is merely a sampling of some...
One Life-Changing Question from the Book of Mormon (and the Answer)
Brad Wilcox and John Hilton III
- Over the last couple centuries, a lot of questions have surrounded the Book of Mormon—queries about its origins, its authenticity, and its teachings have been perpetuated by skeptic and believer alike. The book's contents are no different. From the first writings of Nephi to the dying testimony of Moroni, the Book of Mormon contains questions from an astounding 61 individuals—including prophets, missionaries, investigators, and apostates. Alma the Younger asked a grand total of 103 questions, Nephi posed 41, and the Savior Himself included 35 questions during his short ministry among the Nephites. Luckily for us, this abundance of inquiry need not...

As a genealogy columnist and parent of young children, I’ve learned some fun ways to turn the hearts of my children toward their forebears—without a single cry of “Bor-ing!” 1. Tell a Story It’s easy to add tales of family to everyday conversation. My...
How the Temple Helps Us Apply Christ's Atonement
Bruce C. Hafen and Marie K. Hafen, excerpted from "The Contrite Spirit"
- The following excerpt originally appeared on LDS Living in October 2015. The role of sacrifice in the temple illustrates how the temple ordinances embody and teach higher Melchizedek-level principles. These ordinances reflect Christ’s sacrifice, and they teach us symbolically how our own sacrifices might seek to echo His. As our Primary children sing, “He knows I will follow him, Give all my life to him.” Performing Ordinances in Similitude of Christ’s Sacrifice When they left the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve built an altar and offered animal sacrifices. Then an angel came to ask Adam why he was offering sacrifices....
