I can understand why Nicodemus might have been a little incredulous when he was questioning the need to be reborn, i.e. “You want me to do what???” However, there are times in life when a rebirth is absolutely necessary.

Anne Bednar: What the Old Testament Taught a Young Mom With Cancer in 2022

They are stories that took place thousands of years ago—stories that, at times, feel so removed from our present day that we feel we just can’t relate. But as she studied the Old Testament in 2022, the same year her world got rocked by a cancer diagnosis, Anne Bednar found that those stories came alive. And the people in them?

Sister missionary killed in Texas trailer fire

Ann Baker Jones, 69, of Taylorsville, a senior missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the church's Texas San Antonio Mission, died Friday after suffering severe burns in a Thursday night fire caused by a gas leak in a kitchen stove.

LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Sister Jones "was immediately flown to the Brooks Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio after the accident, where she later passed away with her husband by her side."
