Prescott, Arizona: Head of the Class, LLC., announced today its release of its Head of the Class Infant & Toddler Web site, available to users from within Facebook with the click of a mouse! Immediately becoming Facebook’s premier education application (app), Head of the Class Infant & Toddler provides several hundred skills parents, as well as soon-to-be parents, must know. For newborns, one-year old, two-year old, and three-year old children, the site provides must-know content.

In that moment, I realized that the talks we give in our wards don't need to be sermons—they need to be real.

The first general conferences were more like sacrament meetings. Over time this changed, but an exception was made in October 1942.

This commentary from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Daniel Walker Howe explores a question Mormons often pose, but addresses it from a new perspective.

We are so grateful for heroes like Capt. Mervyn Sharp Bennion who have served our country selflessly.

Thanks to the Deseret News for making us aware of this story.

I have a standing appointment with my dentist. I sit in the chair, she checks my teeth and makes sure I’m on track to keep my pearly whites healthy. We do it all over again six months later. It’s not much different than the appointments any of us keep with doctors, mechanics and even hairstylists. To make something last, we all know the importance of keeping it well maintained.

If the major purpose of all scripture is to bear testimony of Christ, (and I believe it is) then the Doctrine and Covenants makes a remarkable contribution to that testimony. With few exceptions, everything that the Doctrine and Covenants teaches us about the Savior is taught in the actual words of the Savior. Almost all scripture is in some way about Christ. But the Doctrine and Covenants is by Christ. The words are His words. The voice is His voice. Most of the information in the Doctrine and Covenants is given in the first person singular by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Since moving back to a family ward I have spent most of my time working with the youth. Other than a brief stint as a Relief Society teacher (cushiest calling ever…) I have either worked in the Sunday School with the 14-15 year olds or as the Laurels advisor. I found Sunday School to be particularly challenging, both because the mixing of genders often changes the dynamic, and because you tend to have less of a personal relationship with the kids than if you work in the Young Women/Men organization. To make matters worse, when I was teaching Sunday School we were still using the Gospel Doctrine manual, which had no suggested activities and was in no way tailored to help teachers reach teenagers. I like to think my frequent complaining letters about this through lds.org helped them move toward the new curriculum. The women of Exponent II were having a conversation on the backlist about how to work with youth and there were so many good ideas that we decided to make it into a post. Many of these ideas come from the other bloggers. If you readers have any more ideas of how to make church more engaging for teenagers, we would love to hear them.

How can we help flood the world with all the good we see? How can we keep a balanced perspective to focus on the good while not ignoring the bad?
