Sponsored: Sending Love to Children of the World through Music

Haze rising from the mountains on a beautiful Pioneer Day morning. Strains of “Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise” echo through the hills. Sounds like Utah. Would you believe…it is China! The voices of the International Children’s Choir singing on the Great Wall. When music and children are combined together, powerful miracles happen. Hearts soften. Barriers lift.

{A&E} 5 Insights Gained from New Joseph Smith Papers Volume

By Patrick Dunshee

The Joseph Smith Papers: Journals, Vol. 2 (1841-1843) is the second in the best-selling Journals series of The Joseph Smith Papers Project.

3 Spiritual Lessons from an Air Force Thunderbird Crash

By Brock Booher

When Captain Chris R. Stricklin got up the morning of September 14, 2003, ejecting from his airplane was the furthest thing from his mind. The sky over Mountain Home Air Force Base in western Idaho was royal blue, without even a wisp of a cloud—a perfect day for an airshow. His aircraft, the F-16 Fighting Falcon sat fueled, polished, and ready to fly.

The March Madness of Yesteryear: A Look Back at the History and Intensity of Church Ball

By Morgan Pearson

Tonight, the championship game of the NCAA Tournament will be played in Minneapolis, but recently, a group reunited in Salt Lake City to relive their own March Madness 50 years ago.
