For the love of family

While serving as a stake president, I interviewed a 30-something couple and their two young boys for a first-time temple recommend. They were about to become an eternal family, but for their youngest son, the price for that privilege was everything. The youngest son was fidget-appropriate for a 5-year-old.

This weekend, The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints held its 183rd General Conference where members of the church listened to the church's leaders.

I shall offer a few fairly tame stories, but I suspect it may stimulate something more radical. I hope it does, actually.

Pennsylvania Mormon Moment: Defending the faith

When you grow up Mormon, you get used to keeping the Sabbath, dressing conservatively, spending time with your family, and disabusing non-Mormons of the notions they hold about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "The biggest thing that I try to explain is that we're very normal," said Amber Campbell, who resides with her husband, Alan, another lifelong Mormon, and their two young sons, in West Hempfield Township.
