I have often struggled with anxiety. To some, it might seem a little strange that a psychologist would have mental health challenges, like knowing a cardiologist who has heart disease. Regardless, my base nature is to worry. It has been a source of distress for many years but has also been an opportunity for growth and insight. One of my ongoing stressors has been concerns for the future. I find myself worried about our children, our finances, our livelihood—just about anything that is not within my direct control. Fortunately, my wife has great faith, and her steadiness usually counteracts my panic. Yet even then, I often get overly worried about what tomorrow holds and whether everything will still be okay.

Ever wonder what your name might have been if you had lived in Book of Mormon times? Using a series of Book of Mormon-sounding prefixes and suffixes based on your birthday month and the first letter of your first name, this quiz can tell you! Though your name may or may not be a real Book of Mormon name documented in scripture, you might turn this quiz into a fun family night activity, sharing the names each family member gets and looking up Book of Mormon figures who had similar names. You might even look up where your Book of Mormon name would have appeared in the Book of Mormon pronunciation guide for an extra bit of fun. Happy quiz taking!
