Camille Nelson and Madilyn Paige teamed up to create a stunning original song, "Our Lullaby," that centers on faith and perseverance. After seeing many friends and loved ones struggle with infertility, songwriters Camille Nelson, Isabeau Miller, and Shaun Balin came together to create a unique lullaby, one that looks to the future and instills "hope in others of things to come." Nelson shares that "Our Lullaby" is "a song of hope that parents could sing to their potential future child." The message of this song beautifully illustrates the dreams and faith that so many couples cling to while battling infertility and conveys the hope and healing of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

At one point in our study of the four Gospels, we had been thinking about Jesus’s 40-day trial in the Judean wilderness. In only two verses, Mark tells us about those days (Mark 1:12–13). Matthew and Luke, on the other hand, make use of a time-honored literary structure to tell us of the tests put to Jesus as He prepared to begin His messianic responsibilities. All three accounts express Jesus’s perfect discipline in response to evil enticements that offended the laws of God. Matthew and Luke may clothe the testing in the elegance of traditional poetic forms, but the themes in all three accounts of Jesus’s experiences in the wilderness remain the same. Whether the accounts are cryptic or complicated, it became clear to us that the devil perverted what Alma described as the relationship between the principle of justice, our ethical responsibility to love God and each other, and the merciful application of His laws in an individual’s life.

The tragic death of Latter-day Saint YouTube sensation Grant Thompson has been reported by major news outlets including The New York Times, CNN, BuzzFeed News, The Washington Post, and more. With 11 million subscribers and billions of views on his videos, it is no surprise that Grant’s unexpected death has caused a stir.
