TIME: As Mali Wars With Islamists, a Mormon Runs for President
MR says: Incredible to see the kind of press this is getting. Interesting thought from Samake: "He was surprised, he says, to see how much Americans focused on Romney’s religion rather than his values, a pettiness he found disconcerting for a country that professes complete freedom of religion." When...
The Atlantic: Mitt Romney's case for getting married young
MR says: Interesting that this school of thought is counterculture right now. The article sums up Romney's concept in one way: "Marriage is an institution worth building life on, not something to enter into once you're already established in life." (Video of his address at the full article.) Mitt Romney...
Role for Romney in San Diego Olympic bid?
MR says: Romney is highly respected in the worldwide Olympic community. Is there another Olympics in Mitt Romney's future? San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, a Democrat, sure hopes so.

My interview with a general authority, Elder Larry Echo Hawk
MR says: This is the second piece about a recent interview the writer had recently. It's just cool to read about the personality of one general authority from one who has spoken one-on-one with him. Over the two days of Stake Conference, I had the opportunity to speak to Elder Larry Echo Hawk several times....
Ann Romney to speak at Time Out for Women event in Salt Lake City this November

Elections back on track: Mormon leads in race for president in African nation
MR says: Another great profile of Yeah Samake, the Mormon running for president in Mali. Elections are July 7, so we'll keep a close eye on things. When you mention a Mormon running for president, you're likely to think of Mitt Romney or perhaps Jon Huntsman Jr. But there is another, Yeah Samake of the...
Romney gives religious, tweetable remarks at Southern Virginia University graduation
MR says: It's interesting to hear his thoughts on many of these things, especially after largely avoiding public discussion of Mormonism during his presidential campaign. Two-time presidential candidate Mitt Romney used life experiences, scriptures and a Mormon pioneer story to encourage Southern Virginia...
Longtime LDS general authority Elder H. Burke Peterson dies at 89
MR says: Elder Peterson served for many years and became emeritus in 1993. He was a good man and will be missed. Elder H.

Hip-hop violinist Lindsey Stirling overcomes anorexia, critics to find happiness, success
MR says: Great interview with violin phenomenon Lindsey Stirling. You don't have to conform to be accepted. The greatest value comes from loving yourself for who you are. That's one message that Lindsey Stirling, international dancing rock-star violinist, wants to share with young people. "The...
Marie Osmond releases new book, 'The Key Is Love'
MR says: The themes in the book, which is on motherhood, are based on journals written by Marie's mother, Olive. Marie also discusses the continual challenge of facing her son's suicide and her recent re-marriage to her first husband. Marie Osmond was unsure of what she would put in the book she'd been asked...
Four-time Gold Medalist: I'm a Mormon
MR says: Great video from Jason Smyth as part of the new "I'm a Mormon" media push in the UK. Smyth is an incredible sportsman despite being 90 percent blind; love what he says about working through challenges.
Elder Eldred G. Smith, eldest and longest-serving general authority, laid to rest
MR says: President Monson joined many others in honoring this faithful man. Elder Smith leaves a beautiful legacy. Borrowing from Old Testament language to refer to his friend as “a man of God” and “an honorable man,” LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson joined hundreds of friends and family members...
