The Fourth Watch: How the Story of Christ Walking on the Water Applies Beautifully in Our Lives

In lesser moments in my life—and perhaps in lesser moments in your life—I must admit I am sometimes tempted to be critical of the way that God is running the universe, at least our corner of it. I have a tendency occasionally to look heavenward and quote Shakespeare, and say as Macduff said, “Did heaven look on, and would not take their part?”

Jimmer Fredette on living the gospel in the NBA, on 'Mormon Times TV'

In the many years I’ve been involved in broadcasting, I’ve been fortunate to do personal interviews with some pretty interesting, noteworthy people. In the political arena, that’s included former U.S. presidents' wives as well as Utah governors. I was privileged to sit down with a prophet and various apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, one-on-one. And I can’t forget sports stars, actors and famous musicians — many who are legends in their fields. In all cases, they were kinder, gentler and more fun to be with than I ever imagined.

(A feat I clearly was incapable of accomplishing today. Many days.)

Ken Jennings: My puny human brain

When I was selected as one of the two human players to be pitted against IBM's "Watson" supercomputer in a special man-vs.-machine Jeopardy! exhibition match, I felt honored, even heroic. I envisioned myself as the Great Carbon-Based Hope against a new generation of thinking machines—which, if Hollywood is to believed, will inevitably run amok, build unstoppable robot shells, and destroy us all. But at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Lab, an Eero Saarinen-designed fortress in the snowy wilds of New York's Westchester County, where the shows taped last month, I wasn't the hero at all. I was the villain.

The Anonymous Christmas Gift That Transformed How One Woman Saw Loving and Serving One Another

By Wendy Ellison

If service were a color, what color would it be? Maybe for you it’s a soft green or pastel blue. Perhaps it’s a dazzling purple or vibrant orange. For a very long time, service was always yellow to me because of the bright, sunny way serving makes me feel. Many years ago, a significant experience at Christmastime meant from that time on, service would forever be red.

When my entire high school class challenged my faith + why my teacher didn’t stop them

By S. Michael Wilcox

By Danielle B. Wagner

Mormon family stars in new Animal Planet TV series

It all started with an email that appeared to be a hoax. "We received an email from someone who wanted to create a TV show about a small, family-owned, taxidermy business and would we be interested," said Daniel Ross, the owner of Xtreme Taxidermy. "My wife told me about it and we thought it was a joke. We didn't take it seriously at all. But I told her to reply, 'Sure, why not?'"
