As I was finalizing our March/April cover story—which has a good deal to do with food and cooking, two of my greatest loves—I got even more excited about an upcoming development for LDS Living. See, we’ve been looking to expand our blog options for quite some time, and (after much brainstorming—some productive and some not-so-productive), we’re finally ready to make the plunge. In addition to our LDS Living blog, which will continue to bring you an inside look at experiences we have with our content, TOMORROW you can expect to see new spots for:

The Untold Story of Mormons in Missouri: How St. Louisans Defended Latter-Day Saints in the 1830s

When it comes to Latter-day Saints and Missouri in the 1830s, thoughts often go to the infamous 1838 extermination order issued by Governor Lilburn W. Boggs. A less familiar but more redeeming story, however, is that Latter-day Saints had friends on the other side of the state. St. Louisans defended Latter-day Saints, and the city played a key role in their later migration to Utah.

Are You a Shepherd or a Wise Man?

For as long as I can remember, my grandma has hand made a Christmas ornament each year for each one of her grandkids. This is a real labor of love since, at last count, she has 46 grandkids. She has always loved making things with her hands. This little collection of ornaments has become a real treasure to me, especially since my grandma had a stroke about 4 ½ years ago and she is no longer able to make them. The ornaments I have from the earlier years are pretty, but during the last 4-5 years before her stroke, she started making each of the pieces of the nativity. These are the ones I really love.

Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Lesson 5: "This Is the Spirit of Revelation"

By Ted L. Gibbons

I have sent six sons and one daughter on missions. For some reason, (probably because my wife hates it) it has always been my responsibility to write to them. I have done this faithfully every week, and have, at last count written about 700 letters to my children. All of these letters are evidence of my love, and almost all of them have contained doctrinal lessons intended to teach the gospel and to assist my children in dealing with the challenges and opportunities of their missions. Many times, I have responded to questions they have asked in their own epistles.
