Food Storage Essentials: What about storing barley?

Deseret News - There is nothing to compare with the nutty flavor and chewy texture of barley in soups, salads and even for breakfast. According to the National Barley Foods Council, this delicious grain contains important B vitamins, essential minerals and is an excellent source of fiber, having fiber throughout the entire grain, unlike other grains that contain fiber only in the outer coating. Barley also contains antioxidants. The soluble fiber in barley lowers blood cholesterol, making barley heart-healthy. It slows the absorption of sugar, which is beneficial for diabetics, and it reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Insoluble fiber in barley...

“The Purpose of Covenants and Ordinances” YW Lesson 17, Manual 1

Feast Upon the Word - From my perspective, it seemed like the purpose of this lesson was to teach YW about covenants and ordinances through what they have already experienced in baptism/confirmation/sacrament, and all this as a preparation for the temple. I think that’s a great idea and a great way to prepare them for the temple and the covenants there. It also seems very effective way to open a space for discussion in the classroom. To that end, these seem like great suggestions on the sidebar for lesson 17: (for anyone unfamiliar with the updated information for the YW manual, let me fill you in:...

Would America elect a Mormon?

Chicago Tribune - For most of American history, voters wanted their president to be white, Protestant and male. But such prejudices have eroded — dramatically, in some cases. The last Democratic presidential primary contest was between an African-American and a woman — two groups that many voters once ruled out for the presidency. While a sizable share of voters still would refuse to support any gay or atheist candidate for president, those numbers also have dropped significantly, according to the most recent Gallup poll on the subject. But in a trend that may prove troubling to Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, nearly...

The Mormon way of business

The Economist - Jokes about sacred underpants have reached epidemic proportions, thanks to Mitt Romney’s presidential bid and the musical masterpiece by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, “The Book of Mormon”. But the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to give it its full name, is fighting back. A huge advertising campaign features ordinary people doing ordinary things—a white man sporting a beard, a black man sporting a moustache and a young skateboarder flying through the air—with the tag line: “I’m a Mormon.” The snag is, not everyone will buy the idea that Mormons are just like the rest of us. They don’t...

Deacons quorum president is representative of the 'good fruit'

LDS Church News - The Punta Arenas Chile Stake is the southernmost stake of the Church in the world. Nicolás Reyes lives there. Bishop David Oyarce of the Ovejero Ward called Nicolás to be the president of the deacons quorum not only because he was worthy but because he was the only active deacon in the whole ward. When he was set apart the bishop helped him understand his responsibility to go in search of those who were not active — which in this case were all of the other quorum members. Nicolás remembers that when he was set apart he felt a change within...
