Talking with LDS Military Chaplains: What They Do
MR says: Two really fascinating podcast interviews with LDS military chaplains, talking about what they do, how their duties overlap with other religions, etc. This two-part episode offers a wonderful peek into military chaplaincy, a career unlike any other, and, in particular, experiences of LDS chaplains....
How To Sleep Like A Rock: Be A Missionary
MR says: This blogger's daughter recently entered the MTC. We’ve Got Mail! Whoo hoo! Our very first missionary mail has arrived from our missionary daughter in the form of a very short but very appreciated email message. We’ll take it! Getting missionary mail is better than Christmas! The subject heading...
All is Well: Like Pioneers, Heavenly Host Surrounds Us
MR says: Wow. I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. This author, who has had an extremely hard last few years, found solace in a beautiful painting. Last week I needed a few things from Deseret Book, and after making my purchases I wandered over to see if any books I wanted to purchase had made...
Free Baptism Printable
MR says: Click through to the full story to get the large version of this printable. "All those who humble themselves before God, and desires to be baptized... that... have truly repented of all their sins... shall be received by baptism into his church." D&C...
Looking at Lent Through Mormon Eyes
If you tuned into SiZ Radio a couple of Sundays ago then you know that the Sistas are observing Lent this year. Why do the Sistas look like they walked head first into lit cigarettes? Slow your roll, lets start with some warm up questions then we'll get to that. What is Lent Anyway?...
Is Changing Your Mind Painful?
MR says: Nostalgia (in the form of old computers) and a great lesson on change (from the scriptures and Steve Jobs, of all people) all in one. My EC and I purchased our first computer in 1986. It was a MacIntosh 512K Enhanced. It was amazing. The nine-inch screen was black and white, and it had fonts. The...
Setting Christ-centered Goals as a Family
After New Years my wife and I set many goals that we wanted to accomplish during the year, and habits we wanted to incorporate into our lives that would stay with us for our lifetime. Of course, with all New Years goals usually they never happen. Finally, a month later we got back into the groove...
Gene R. Cook’s Prayer Challenge
Years ago at a Stake meeting, I heard Gene R Cook talk about a book he was going to publish. It was to be on the subject of receiving answers to our prayers. For the next two hours he spoke on prayer. To introduce his subject he did the most interesting thing I have ever heard in a church meeting....
Reminiscing about President Hinckley - and fixing some errors
MR says: Great quote included that is usually attributed to President Hinckley - but didn't come from him. Don't you miss President Hinckley? He has been gone five years already. He was warm, and witty and so inspiring. He made me want to be a better me. You have probably seen this quote from him making...
The myths of big families
MR says: From a writer expecting her sixth child, something good to read for everyone in our culture (where large families exist and may be misunderstood). There was a girl in my grade in elementary school whose family had FIVE kids. When I first met her, I remember saying, “Whoa,” like Sarah had just...
The Crushing Burden of Reverence
MR says: Have you ever struggled to keep a child reverent in church? Some interesting insights, as well as ideas. The kid behind me on the airplane kept kicking my seat. It was a long flight, about 6 hours, and he’d kicked it a few times during the first 4. Somewhere around 4.5 hours in, he started...
Tribute to a 'Trophy' Wife
MR says: Absolutely beautiful. Here, "trophy" takes on a new meaning: "The trophy lies not in fashion or boob size, it lies in temperament, education, sense of adventure, and commonality with yourself." First and foremost she was a true farmer’s daughter. Well, what I really mean is, he has a cow or two,...
Time Out for Women February Challenge: Think on Purpose
MR says: LOVE Time Out for Women's theme for the year: higher. This month they're concentrating on taking our thoughts higher. I am so excited about this year and the theme which has been chosen. What a genius idea – to have us all, wherever we are, working on carefully considered challenges as we...
Alone on Valentine’s Day? God Will Be With You
MR says: A religious look at V-day. Valentine’s Day is one day no one really wants to be alone. It is a day that in many countries has been set aside for us to be with those who love us, and that can make it hard when you feel like you’re alone. While you may not have a Valentine’s Day romance, you...
Are You Suffering from Grapefruit Syndrome in Your Marriage?
MR says: He includes a great story as a bonus. A must-read. Dear Readers: Last night I wrote a Valentine's Day post for my EC, and left it to post this morning. During the night I had second thoughts, and have decided that I probably shouldn't post it for several reasons: 1) It is a bit more...
