A little knowledge can save you money and extend the window of opportunity to eat those vegetables you enjoy. For short-term storage, certain vegetables are rather "picky" about how and where they prefer to be kept. Here are some handy tips to help you daily.

After being arrested at age 14, Donald Kelly knew something needed to change in his life.

Last year when he appeared on the All In podcast, author Jason F. Wright said he has received thousands of Christmas Jars stories since the book was published in 2005.

On June 9, 1848, one pioneer wrote to Brigham Young, “The seagulls have come in large flocks from the lake and sweep the crickets as they go. It seems the hand of the Lord is in our favor.”

I am not a family therapist, so what I express on families in this lesson is based on what President Benson has said, and on my own experience. The family, the single most important unit in eternity, is where we live our lives, and where we raise the next generation. The future of every country is played out first in the home. If the homes of a country are teaching moral conduct, loyalty, and reverence, so too will the citizens of tomorrow be moral, loyal, and reverent people. The reverse is also true.

Joseph Smith taught that “a welding link … between the fathers and the children …” must be “whole and complete and perfect” (Doctrine and Covenants 128:18). The words welding link suggest a chain. Chains are strong things. They hold under great stress and pressure.

Some may remember a story of President Spencer W. Kimball helping a stranded pregnant woman in the airport who was pushing along her young toddler.1 President Kimball comforted the woman, whom he had never met and knew nothing about, gave the little girl a piece of gum, and got the young, pregnant, exhausted mother and her wet and hungry 2-year-old daughter on the next flight out of the Chicago O’Hare airport.

Sometimes my husband teases me about living in the past. OK, I admit that I still listen to the radio station that plays hits from the 1960s and ’70s — because that’s the era when I grew up, and those songs remind me of special people and experiences. I loved attending school and still stay in touch with friends that date clear back to junior high (thanks to Facebook). I fondly remember all the amazing opportunities that came my way at work and often reflect on some of the stories I did and people I met who changed my life. I miss being in the mission field in Georgia — the place, the people and the missionaries will always be on my mind and in my heart. And, now that our house is quiet, I often wistfully look back at the time when I was a younger mom — raising our four children and wishing I could go back to “the good old days” of early morning piano practicing, car pools, soccer and lacrosse games, recitals, plays and choir concerts.
