For those wondering if they can make it through a trial, for those frustrated with questions about their faith, and for those wondering if they should stay in the Church, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has the perfect quote from Joseph Smith and inspiring counsel just for you.

Sending my son on a mission was an irrational, emotional rollercoaster for me. One minute I was bursting with love and gratitude for his choices, and the next I was in a full panic over possibly not having taught him enough. I stressed myself out preparing him: copies of all important documents, extra batteries, and stocking a first aid/medicine supply that would put the Red Cross to shame!

What a beautiful way to think of this love story all Mormons know well.

A British bus company is asking Mormon missionaries to stop proselytizing its riders, especially telling passengers that their faith is all wrong. “We do not permit any commercial or other organization to promote their products, services or views,” Stephie Barber, operations manager for the company, Stagecoach in Lancaster, told the Lancaster Guardian, “through direct engagement with passengers on our services.”

During the four years I lived in Wisconsin, I had a lot of trouble staying awake past 7 pm. I was moody and had very little energy from December through March. I was overjoyed when spring came in April. (March is merely “mud month” in Wisconsin.) April brought longer days, milder temperatures and an awakening earth that cheered my spirits.

In Greek mythology, Daedalus — a master craftsman imprisoned by King Minos of Crete — builds wings of feathers and wax so he can escape with his son, Icarus.Before the pair takes flight, Daedalus cautions his son not to fly too near the sun or too close to the sea.

I read with interest Dennis Prager’s article expressing his sorrow over President Bush’s recent speech at a Jews for Jesus gathering in Texas. While he strongly defended Evangelical Christians in general, Mr. Prager joined virtually every other Jewish writer in denouncing the Messianic Jewish group. I was particularly interested in his observation that to Jews, the claim of Jews for Jesus that they remain Jewish in spite of their Christian beliefs is analogous to Evangelicals’ reaction to Mormons’ claim to be Christians. While the disdain expressed by Jews and some Evangelicals is similar, there is an important difference in the dynamics of those relationships that needs to be clarified in this space. Whether or not one agrees with Jews in their rejection of Jews for Jesus and other Messianic groups that target Jews for conversion, it’s hard to argue that Jews don’t have the right to determine who is a Jew, at least in the religious sense. If Jewish leaders choose to accept atheists as Jews while rejecting those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, it is their right and privilege to do so.

Sen. Joe Lieberman has a stern warning: Leave Mitt Romney’s religion out of this. “I have been watching the recent controversy over Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith through two prisms,” the Connecticut senator said in an op-ed penned in The Washington Post. “One is the vision of the appropriate relationship between government and religion, as set out by America’s founders; the other is my own experience in 2000 as the first Jewish-American to be nominated for national office.”
