Though from November 2013, I've seen this video circulating Facebook quite a bit recently. Every time I scroll through my feed, another friend has uploaded it. I guess I don't always get the messages God is trying to put into my life the first time around.

If you want to be "the very best" at Pokémon GO, you sometimes have to go to unexpected places.

Picture in your mind, and it shouldn’t take much imagination, a young boy participating in the priesthood function of the Sacrament. He lowers his head during the prayers and then gleefully hands out the water and bread to the congregation. Just like what happens every Sunday, he returns to the cloth covered table and sets down the silver trays he passed around the room. There is nothing unusual about the actions.

In a recent Ensign article, Director of LDS Charities Sharon Eubank shares the ways the Church has empowered her as a woman.

Former presidential candidate and Utah governor Jon Huntsman Jr.'s best shot at the White House may not come until 2020, a political scholar at a conservative Washington, D.C., think tank said. For now, Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute told the Deseret News, Huntsman, 52, needs to continue speaking out against the Republican Party's sharp shift to the right and hope the GOP takes the criticism to heart.

This hymn by Janice Kapp Perry came in first place with 709 votes. But it isn’t the first time it’s won a contest. When Sister Perry wrote it for a song contest in 1980, it won first place! It was the first counter-melody song (two separate melodies overlayed with each other) that she wrote, but it wouldn’t be the last.

One might not think Scouting and Duty to God go hand in hand. One is doctrine-related, and the other is all about tents, badges, and fire, right? While both programs have a unique take on fostering development in a young man, these programs complement each other in many ways.

When the multimillion-dollar Teton Dam disaster struck Idaho in 1976, a force of 45,000 Latter-day Saints was deployed almost overnight to provide emergency relief. When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, Mormon relief trucks arrived before the National Guard was even allowing relief through. Massive oil spills in South Korea in late 2007 found hundreds of volunteers handling the disaster with plans, supplies and manpower within days. The 2010 Haitian earthquake catastrophe was met immediately with 160,000 pounds of food and emergency resources, and a month later, when a devastating earthquake hit Chile, an airlift of tents, tarps, supplies and even diapers was quickly deployed.The Church is interested in helping those in need become self-sufficient in the long term as well as meeting immediate needs. After the 2004 tsunami devastated Southeast Asia, LDS Humanitarian Services personnel were still working with community-based organizations to provide longer-term aid and development three years later.

For those wondering why the Mormon Church should have a place at the Israeli independence table, I include the following highlights in Jewish-Mormon history:
