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...
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...
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...
Facebook of the Twelve
MR says: So cool! It is true. The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are now on Facebook. While it has yet to be determined if they have actually seen their pages, we know that this is a great effort on the Church's part to help the Brethren be part of the Social Media discourse. I have...
Our Favorite Simple Summer Crafts for Kids
MR says: REALLY fun ideas. Today was our last day of school. Hallelujah. Now it's time to move on to summer fun and activities. At my house, we have somewhat of a schedule: library on Tuesday, park on Wednesday, adventure on Thursday, and so on. But I really like to do a fun craft or experiment every...
Oh, Hi Jesus!
MR says: Cute story and moral. One summer, when my husband grew a beard, he had a rather surprising encounter. He and a member of the bishopric were standing in the clerk’s office when a toddler-age girl came tearing into the room, and seized upon my husband’s leg. I suppose she thought she was running...
Book of Mormon into Darkness
MR says: Just a beautiful description of the Book of Mormon and the power it has to move people. Has darkness ever overwhelmed you? Have you seen cities sink and communities set ablaze? Has a voice saved you? If you know the Book of Mormon, then you are familiar with the tale I tell. After hundreds of pages...
“A Disturbance at the Mormonite Chapel”: 19th Century British Hooliganism and the Latter-day Saints
MR says: Interesting history, to see what Saints in other countries had to deal with. It will be news to exactly none of you that 19th century Mormon missionaries were not welcomed by many of the communities they entered. That dislike often varied according to the community: Nowhere else in the world were...
An Art Project For Father's Day for Kids
MR says: Cute project idea! Includes an essay on back for Dad. I saw this art project on pinterest, but it didn't come with drawing instructions. The shapes are pretty easy though and my 6 year old, Maria, was able to do this with no problems. I did do a practice sheet with Maria on the sideways U shapes for...
Stuff My Dad Says, Father’s Day Edition
MR says: What are some things you remember your father saying? Looking forward to Father’s Day next Sunday, I’ve been thinking about my father who has been gone for two decades now, but whose influence I still feel in my life every day. I’ve tried to identify exactly why and how his character continues...
Historic! Top Mormon Leaders of LDS Church on Google Plus!
MR says: A new way to follow LDS leaders--Google Plus (much like Facebook). Thomas S. Monson, Henry B. Eyring, and, Dieter F. Uchtdorf the three highest officials in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, constituting the First Presidency of the Church, have taken an unprecedented and significant...
The Stripling Warriors' Missing Fathers
MR says: So cool. The story (rightfully) celebrates righteous motherhood, but remember: the fathers were there, too. The story of the 2,000 stripling warriors is one of the great Book of Mormon stories. It demonstrates the power of faith, and how God can bless and protect those that serve Him. I will get...
Home decorating with the Spirit
MR says: Great tips (and more than just ideas for hanging pictures of temples). It has been reiterated over and over again that the woman sets the tone for her home. As the nurturers and homemakers and Daughters of God it falls upon us to provide an atmosphere in our homes which will invite the Spirit of the...
Summer of the Drones - How to Help Children Prepare for the 'Real World'
MR says: One dad's perspective on how his sons can prepare for missions, as gained from experience and talking to a former mission president. One of my favorite LDS hymns is "Have I Done Any Good?" It is a happy song, with a biting message that we need to get busy. . . . Inspirational and motivational....
