Has the Lord ever had reason to ask of us, "Are you envious because I am generous?" Often we live our lives fixating on comparison, even if unintentionally. We may hear of blessings other Church members receive as a result of fasting, prayer, service, keeping the Sabbath day holy, etc. and become frustrated or confused when our similar obedience doesn't yield the same result. Is the Lord fair in how He distributes blessings? Does He love others more than He loves us?

Years ago I brought a friend with me to a Relief Society activity at church, and when she asked me why we had a painting of Mary and Martha hanging in the room, I really didn’t know how to answer. Of all the possible depictions of scripture stories of women that the Church might choose from, why that one? Although the scene was painted by old masters like Vermeer and Velazquez, it has never been especially popular among other Christian groups. Yet, it is a subject painted by many artists in the Church and these images are common in meetinghouses and lesson manuals.

The Church recently updated the names of apps and channels such as Mormon Messages, LDS Tools, LDS Music, LDS Media Library, and more.
