Video: I'm a Mormon, a Canyoneer, and a Taxidermist
MR says: This father and canyoneer really shows how faith and trust are crucial to all aspects of life, from repelling to repentance.
LDS Church responds to 'misinformation' about home storage centers
MR says: Apparently the misinformation and fear about LDS Church canneries is still circulating--this is the official information from the Church about what will be happening, and why. In an attempt to quell “misinformation and unnecessary concern,” officials of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day...
Portland Oregon Temple Visitors’ Center Dedicated
MR says: This is a gorgeous new visitors' center. On an unusually sunny day in the Pacific Northwest, community outreach seemed to be the unofficial theme at the dedication service for the Portland Oregon Temple Visitors’ Center. Some 450 invited guests gathered on June 9 for the event. Violinist Sister...
New study tool to find the meaning of Book of Mormon names
MR says: Cool! Find out probable meanings of names like "Nephi" and Zarahemla (and hundreds more). The Book of Mormon Onomasticon project , which has long been in the works, has finally been launched online. Although it is still under development, there is plenty of great information and research available...
When kids close the door
MR says: Great little piece on coping with changing motherhood. The moment was so subtle I almost didn’t notice. My kids were playing Legos with the door shut. In my five-minute sweep of the house, I propped open the door and peered into the room. “Everything OK in here?” I asked. They grunted,...
New Mormon Message: Enduring Love
MR says: One of those tissue-worthy videos. Watch how this couple demonstrates pure love and service in their marriage—even though they have to endure debilitating physical adversity.
Religion contributes to Utah being most charitable state in country, poll finds
MR says: The LDS principle of tithing is probably the biggest factor. A new study by the Chronicle of Philanthropy places Utah as the most charitable state in the country. “The Mormon tradition of tithing is a primary reason residents of this state well outpace those in every other place in America,”...
BYU students win Student Gold ADDY award for funny commercial
MR says: Congratulations to them! Make sure to go to the full link to see the commercial. (An ADDY is an award for college advertising students and is nationally recognized.) It started out as a class assignment, but after advancing through local and regional competitions, a group of BYU communications...
Amy Adams: Mormon values still with me
MR says: They get it wrong when they say she and her family were "forced" to leave the Church after her parents divorced, but aside from the guilt she sometimes feels in misbehaving, Adams still has positive feelings toward her values. Amy Adams has opened up about her Mormon upbringing, confessing she still...
Jesus loves ALL the weirdos.
MR says: Cool little essay about wards being a haven (and we, as Mormons, taking that into the world). I spent Sunday evening at a friend’s house, enjoying a “Father’s Day BBQ”, as if we need an excuse to get together. We were talking and laughing, and someone brought up our Sunday school lesson on...
DIY Prayer Board
MR says: Cool (and pretty simple) craft idea. While browsing Pinterest, I saw an idea for a prayer board and I thought, "GENIUS!" I know a lot of people that need prayers, and this is the perfect (and totally cute) way to remember them all. The example I saw on Pinterest was not my style, so I decided to...
Christian missionaries going door to door in Mormon capital
MR says: The group is targeting Mormons, though they say it's just to converse (not confront). Thirty missionaries from the Truth in Love Ministry are in Utah this week, knocking on doors to "talk positively about Christianity" with Mormons. "This is our first day out on the street, and it’s going...
Colorado Mormons join other faiths in response to Black Forrest Fire
MR says: This is probably the worst fire in Colorado history. Pretty incredible, the amount of organization and aid people have given to make this tragedy more bearable. Local Saints have done clothing drives and opened their homes to those displaced by the fire. Nearly 260 members of the Colorado Springs...
Superman and the Myth of the Dying God
MR says: Really interesting essay relating types of Jesus Christ throughout history (and even in pop culture). As we sit in church and hear many of the same ideas and stories repeated again and again, we can begin to lose sight of the significance and beauty of these ideas and stories as they become...
Mormon, former Cougarette brings high standards to Broadway
MR says: Cool story about an LDS mom and award-winning choreographer. Mother, Latter-day Saint, teacher, TV show contestant, award-winning dancer. Bree Hafen holds many titles but has recently added “accomplished choreographer” to the list, which has given her a lot of national attention in the dance...
