Mormon temple garments -- they're not magic

Nobody really likes to talk about their underwear, and Mormons probably have better reason than most to be reticent. They don't even call it "underwear." The term they prefer is "garments," which is taken from the King James Bible, and gives these scraps of white cloth a formal name to go along with the vaguely talismanic character they hold in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Bible Videos collection continues to grow, inspire

Six videos to 33. Three languages to 13. What started almost a year ago as a small collection of videos focusing on the birth of Jesus Christ has now grown to a collection depicting a variety of stories and people from the life and ministry of the Savior. Bible Videos, announced last December at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, are based on the King James Version of the Bible and were filmed on the Jerusalem set at the Church’s LDS Motion Picture Studio South Campus in Goshen, Utah. They are now available at biblevideos.lds.org, in Cantonese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, Samoan, and Tongan, as well as the original release languages of English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Where is God in a Mother's Life?

While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.” —Matthew 4:18-22
