This time of year it is customary to think about how to become better than we already are. Why would we want to become better? Honestly, in this world where bad often seems good and good is often talked about as bad it is ironic that we still adhere to a tradition where we focus on becoming better than we are.

“It is the personal opinion of the writer that the Lord does not intend that the Book of Mormon, at least at the present time, shall be proved true by any archeological findings.

Are wall-quotes in living-areas a symptom or a cause? I’m not sure. What I see in my own community, on social media, and online in general, is an elevation of happiness being considered a virtue, a morally superior position. Being happy is great, of course, but the converse side of expecting happiness (or cheerfulness) as a marker of faith is that those who are somehow not “happy” or who struggle in any way, are somehow perilously close to morally failing.

Just 48 hours before the dedication of his nation’s first Latter-day Saint temple, Honduran President Porfirio Lobo accepted an invitation to have breakfast with President Dieter F. Uchtdorf and other visiting Church leaders at the temple annex building.
