Mormon boy with broken heart touching hearts around the world
MR says: This family has showed amazing faith - and it's inspiring others who are following their journey on the Facebook page "Mitchell's Journey." Mitchell's family is LDS. Chris Jones has created all kinds of media presentations for clients, but his latest project is the most powerful and the most...
Mormon author talks about his mental illness and faith
MR says: Wow. An important topic - and interesting in this case, because it makes certain gospel concepts (like keeping the Sabbath Day) harder. The hardest thing about writing any article about mental illness is figuring out where to start. So, I'll just begin with the facts: about two years ago I was...
Houston Chronicle: Who LDS Charities is and what they do
MR says: A great basic description on the LDS Church's charity efforts. Many of my best childhood memories were with my Grandmother Hansen. Though she passed away a few years ago, she left a legacy of service for me and her posterity. When she wasn’t serving others, she was practicing hymns on her...
LDS recovery program helps participants fight addictions, focus on faith
MR says: A great profile of the Church's addiction recovery programs. It’s the last place some people would expect to feel spiritual, but sitting in a circle at an LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Program meeting and listening to the ups and downs of overcoming addiction, there is a feeling in the...
Non-LDS professors at BYU share stories of faith
MR says: Some great perspectives of the faiths of BYU professors who are not LDS. The Star of David, the Crucifix, and the Islamic star and crescent are a few of the many religious symbols that are not commonly seen at BYU. Though it would be easy to assume that all students, faculty and staff at BYU are...
95-year-old LDS piano teacher still finds lessons to learn
MR says: What a wonderful woman. Truly someone to look up to. She was educated at Juilliard and Columbia University but doesn't charge her students. The most important aspect of Edith Reed’s success in teaching is the love she shows each student, a love that is reciprocal and tangible from the moment the...
Sacrament prayers have ancient origin
MR says: A cool thought to remember while listening during the prayers on Sunday. When they’re not using a printed card, those officiating at the sacrament table commonly turn to Doctrine and Covenants 20:77 and 20:79 for the text of the prayers to be offered. But they can also read from Moroni 4:3 and...
Opinion: When your child wants to join the circus
MR says: Do we talk a big talk when we say we want our kids to follow their dreams? Wonderful column with a cool video at the full story. Every once in a while no, check that, all the time I worry about the future of my children. Of course, I want them to be kind, compassionate and loving human beings, but...
Wash. Post: A Mormon guide to love
MR says: "Mormons are romantics at heart. How could they not be when they genuinely believe and live life with an eternal mindset?" Twilight author Stephanie Meyer captivates her audience by weaving one single concept throughout her entire series--the quest for eternal love. As romantic and fantastical as...
Valentine's Video: Expressions of Love
MR says: So much goodness in this video. Make sure to watch the husbands' faces as their wives talk - priceless. I think this is my favorite Mormon Message of all time. One minute I was laughing, then the next minute, without warning, I started to cry. Includes a particularly touching part of Elder Scott's...
Video: Mormon young man faces loss of three family members with faith
MR says: Beautiful video - and the story behind it is simply amazing. In a recent video filmed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 19-year-old Caleb Ceran shares his testimony of the 2013 youth theme, “Stand Ye in Holy Places.” Ceran’s life changed drastically when his mother,...
Why, God? Mormons make sense of life, tragedy
MR says: A phenomenal interview on belief, knowledge, and the compassionate nature of God with LDS scholars Terryl and Fiona Givens, who recently wrote *The God Who Weeps.* The full interview would be a great supplement to personal study.
LDS World: Susanna in the Apocrypha is a great example of virtue
MR says: A great story some LDS readers may not be familiar with. A lovely story illustrating the value of virtuous living is personified in the tale of Susanna, found in the Apocrypha. While the Apocrypha is not canonical — some parts of it are true, others are not — the Lord taught the Saints, “whoso...
How love and faith can grow, even when one spouse stops believing
MR says: A great article on a really difficult topic. Do you or someone you know have experience with this? You can also read our article on bridging the faith gap between spouses here.
Mormon WWII Veteran receives medals . . . 60 years later
MR says: This is a really cool story. Sen. Orrin Hatch heard this man had not received his medals for valor and worked to make sure he received his thanks from the country. It was long overdue, but World War II U.S. Army veteran Lewis Frongner finally received the medals he earned during his service in the...
