This post, though written by a sister not of our faith, highlights something that all of us should remember. Who's judgements do we care the most about? Our Heavenly Father's or our peers?

José Hernández hasn’t made up his mind about who he’s going to vote for in the upcoming election. “I like things about both, Romney and Obama,” said Hernández, 29, who works as an electrician in Mesa, Arizona. He says he likes that Republican Mitt Romney speaks about creating employment, and that President Barack Obama signed an executive order to halt deportations of youth who have grown up in the country.

I guess I should not have been surprised when some of the top news stories on my Facebook feed were about modesty once school started, but I was.

Understand that we are mere mortal “babysitters” who can appeal directly to the real Parent. There is no more effectual and answer-deserving prayer than this: “Father, help me to understand and to do what is best for this, thy child.”

In the middle of Lehi’s message to Jacob, we get a small but powerful message that “all things must needs be a compound in one.”

The doubt that had eaten at me for years was finally overtaking me. My belief in God was dwindling.

One December, I saw a clever sign on the marquee of a Christian church: “Christmas is not your birthday!” I got their point, but I still had to disagree because I was born right on December 25th. When I was younger, my parents were afraid my birthday would get overlooked in the holiday rush, so they made a big banner that hung in our home: “Happy Birthday to Jesus and Brad!” They also started a tradition of putting up two trees—one for Jesus and one for me. The idea was that my brothers would put a present for me under each tree—a plan that worked well until my older brother bought me a pair of mittens. He placed one mitten under the Christmas tree and the other under the birthday tree, and everything went downhill from there. These days, most of my gifts come with a “Merry Birthday” card to cover both occasions. Here’s one I received from my cousin:

Five days before Christmas last year, Heather Vanboerum was leaving Costco when a driver accidentally hit the gas rather than the brake, pinning her between two cars. Her life changed in an instant—but the miracles that followed, both big and small, are remarkable and on this week’s episode, Heather helps us see them all through her eyes.

Kevin Rolfe knows that his wife, Lindsey, may have been hesitant to get her hopes up about their relationship. After all, who would choose to marry someone who was likely dying of cancer? But Kevin wanted to be the one who battled cancer with Lindsey—he chose to be that person. On this week’s episode, Kevin shares the many things that have gotten him through since Lindsey’s passing: A stepson, loving family and friends, and the hope of a resurrection that will allow him to see Lindsey again.
