'Dateline' features Mormon family with 3 children facing heart problems (+video)

BYU professors: obesity starts in infancy
MR says: The study these professors did suggests that overeating and obesity is learned in infancy. Fascinating. In the long run, encouraging a baby to finish the last ounce in their bottle might be doing more harm than good. Though the calories soon burn off, a bad habit remains. Brigham Young...

If you have a loved one struggling with depression, here are some things to say that will help both of you feel better. And even if you feel like you're not “getting through,” please don't stop trying. Anyone who has a loved one who struggles with depression probably knows the feeling of...
SPONSORED: Struggling with Pornogrophy? Keep Moving Forward!
“Time is the one thing we possess. Our success depends upon the use of our time, and its by-product, the odd moment.” - Arthur Brisbane The best definition of self-mastery can be summed up in one word: consistency. One of the greatest challenges we all face in life is coming face...

Mormon-affiliated group offers help, hope to suicide survivors
MR says: These parents lost both sons (one to an accident, one to suicide after he lost the other). Now their working with the Church to reach out to those in similar situations. As young brothers, Kris and Kourt McGuire often spent hours chasing the shimmering dragonflies that floated above a lush, green...
BYU professor finds genetic cause for migraines
MR says: Hopefully this means we're one step closer to a real cure for migraines. Do you know anyone who suffers from them? As a teenage student athlete, Emily Bates hated never knowing when the next migraine would strike, disrupting her schoolwork, practices and competitions. Now it’s payback...
After brush with death, LDS basketball player ready to serve others
MR says: Danny Berger nearly died at practice last December, but now he's working to help others who have heart issues. Facing death can teach a man a lot about life. That’s been the case for Danny Berger, the 6-foot-6 Utah State forward who collapsed and nearly died during a basketball practice last...
Revival
MR says: Great story with layers of reviving spiritually and through priesthood power. I served my full time mission outside of the US in a non-English speaking country. As anyone who has served a mission knows, there is a lot to learn and a very steep learning curve. When serving in an unfamiliar culture,...
Praise or Prozac?
MR says: A good and very real discussion of depression and faith, from one woman's experience with the topic. This past month has been an emotional roller coaster ride. In the past instead of completely dealing with some major life events that may have sent me to the psychiatric unit (on more then one...
'Useless' Hands Pledged to do His Work
MR says: Beautiful post from a woman dealing with multiple sclerosis. I used to always say that after the resurrection, I wanted a better chest and fewer moles. In The Book of Mormon, Alma teaches, “The soul shall be restored to the body, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be...
Does Mormon fasting reduce heart attack deaths?
MR says: Utah has always had a good record of coronary health compared to other states, which was originally attributed to low levels of smoking. But with smoking at historic lows, researchers now think it may have to do with the large number of people who regularly fast. People of faith have long known that...

MR says: This is a beautiful video. This young man, who has had significant health struggles, wondered if he would be able to serve a mission. He finally turned in his papers and surprised his family. Happy tears.
Elaine Dalton sets the pace for next generation of Mormon girls
MR says: Did you know that Elaine Dalton still runs marathons? This was published just before her release on Saturday (but anticipated the move) and has some wonderful insights on this amazing woman. Elaine S. Dalton may be one of the most athletic Mormon women leaders the LDS Church has ever had. As a...
General conference and learning to laugh
MR says: A great story from a woman who, amid difficulties, changed her outlook because of Elder Withlin's famous talk "Come What May and Love it." Love this. After becoming severely ill as a college student, I was inspired by an LDS general conference talk to "learn to laugh." In October 2008, I was a...
