- When recently retired United States Court of Appeals Judge Thomas V. Griffith heard the beginning of President Dallin H. Oaks’s talk, he was taken aback. Why would President Oaks choose, on Easter Sunday, to speak about the dividing parties of the United States? “I have to admit, at first, I wasn’t very happy with that.

BYU senior associate athletic director explains her mom’s analogy of creating ‘home-court advantage’ for people in our lives
LDS Living

An art professor at BYU–Idaho, Keller came up with multiple concepts but didn’t feel right moving forward with any of them. But then he heard Elder Dale G.
