Mormon singles, LDS singles wards rise as members delay marriage

Huffington Post - In this sleepy suburb just south of Salt Lake City, hundreds of men and women recently descended upon one of the hottest, most competitive and nerve-wracking social scenes in the state. They came in their best cars, littering an overcapacity parking lot with double-parked BMWs and Corvettes, and strutted into a bright and airy building in crisp suits and colorful dresses. Steve Rinehart worked the room, which had the look of a large, converted high school basketball court with rows of folding chairs. He circled the aisles, scoping out the women and peering over shoulders for friends. "It's a meat market,"...

FHE: Sacredness

Shauna Gibby -     Conference Talk:    For more information on this topic read “To Hold    Sacred,” by Paul B. Pieper, Ensign , May 2012, 109.     Thought:    Our strength to endure faithfully depends upon    recognizing, remembering, and holding sacred that    which we receive from above.    Sacred means worthy of veneration and respect. By    designating something as sacred, the Lord signals      that it is of higher value and priority than other    things. Sacred things are to be treated with more    care, given greater deference, and regarded with    deeper reverence.    (Paul...

LDS singer-songwriter brings the blues sound to diversifying Church-owned record label

Salt Lake Tribune - When Justin Cash was asked to record two more songs for his Shadow Mountain Records debut ""Beautiful World," he knew just what he’s choose. Bobby McFerrin’s "Don’t Worry, Be Happy." The song is an apt summation of Cash’s attitude on life, and that positive, never-quit attitude has made him the newest signee to Shadow Mountain Records, the Salt Lake City-based recording label owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ...

Hearing set for Friday in free speech case involving Mormon temple

Salt Lake Tribune - A federal judge will decide Friday whether to grant a Christian church’s request for a temporary restraining order so it can pass out fliers on sidewalks in front of a new Mormon temple in Brigham City. The Main Street Church of Brigham City and ACLU of Utah filed a civil lawsuit Tuesday seeking the order on a city ordinance they characterized as "Orwellian" in restricting free speech and other constitutional rights. The hearing is set for 10 a.m. before U.S. District Court Judge Dale Kimball. ...

March of the digital missionary door-knockers

The Independent - For a moment I thought a friend of mine had become a Mormon. There in my news feed on Facebook, between posts from people I barely know and photos of babies (I'm 30), was a status update that read: "No matter how bad your past has been, you can change and move on." How nice! But the post wasn't by or even endorsed by anyone I know: it was an advert for the Mormon Church placed in my feed (where I don't remember ever seeing advertising) as part of an online mission of such scale it would be the envy of...

{Poll} Should You Read Your Child's Journal?

Kaela Worthen Gardner - Dear Diary. Those are two words that form the prelude to the spilling of the deepest secrets, struggles, crushes, and drama a person's life can hold. Usually, though, those words are meant for only that one addressee: Diary. And according to any teenager writing about the injustices of curfews and the hot boy at school, those words are most certainly not intended for their parents. But does that mean parents shouldn't read them? I can see both sides of the argument: respecting your children's privacy, trusting them to do the right thing, etc. But I've also heard stories of parents learning...
