How a Priesthood Blessing Helped One Mom Understand the Loss of a Child, God's Eternal Love

One day I was visiting with a faithful couple who had tried for several years to conceive a child but who had been unsuccessful. Over those years, they had spent countless hours together with doctors and in prayer. They had already been given many blessings, but they asked if I would be willing to assist in giving the wife another. I felt impressed to fulfill that request.

3 Dangers of Dating the "Best" Singles

By Alisa Snell

It is natural for singles to want to date someone who is attractive, successful, and socially skilled. Their ability to date such desirable individuals seems to say that they are just as accomplished. However, as a dating coach, who has spent 17 years as a marriage counselor, I can’t help but see the danger that surrounds this desire to date the best. Singles usually don’t realize the common thinking errors in this mentality, and if these are not confronted they will ruin relationships.

The Beautiful Interaction I Had with My Savior After I Placed My Burdens at His Feet

By Jessica Patterson Turner

My 2-year-old had been battling a chest cold for a few days, and the back-to-back sleepless nights were really taking a toll on me. The brain fog was very real, my eyes burned, and my limbs throbbed with exhaustion. I yearned for rest, but sleep eluded me. I just had too much on my mind.

This 20-minute KSL TV documentary celebrates the joys of food, faith, and family

By Danielle Christensen

Food. It’s a connector of cultures, traditions, and generations. Sounds, smells, and recipes bring back memories of childhood, the people we love, and those who love us in return. And as KSL recently put it, “food can serve, heal, connect, bind, and uplift human hearts. Food is service. Food is love.”

Seeing the whole: Why I’m learning to love funerals

By Morgan Pearson

My grandma, Mom-el, loved funerals so much that we used to give her a hard time about browsing the obituaries for her next social engagement. It was a joke and something I honestly didn’t understand then, but over five years after her own passing, I think I’m starting to realize why my Mom-el loved funerals so much. When someone we love is gone, we can find joy in remembering the best things about them. Certainly, there are cases that require healing, but little annoyances are cast aside after someone has passed and all we seem to remember are the things we loved about them. I have found that I especially love going to a funeral for someone I admired but didn’t know incredibly well. Such was the case two weeks ago as I attended the memorial service for Ann Crane Santini.
