It made for a lot of miserable Januarys and a few miserable Decembers since I’d justify eating extra even if I wasn’t hungry because the food was delicious and available. And throughout the year, I’d continue this pattern—as the seasons changed, when big family events occurred, when I started blaming the dryer for shrinking my clothes–until I realized that I was living my life in two speeds: dieting and preparing to diet.

Vocal Point bass washes windows amid newfound celebrity

In between watching himself and his friends sing on national television and attending his BYU classes, Vocal Point’s Robert Seely still runs the window washing business that he started before his mission. He also picks up a few shifts at the BYU Creamery, except now that he’s appearing on NBC’s “The Sing-Off” – watch Monday at 7 p.m. MT – he has to deal with coworkers asking to take photos with him. “It really surprises me that four or five times a day, while I’m walking across campus, people come up to me and say, ‘Aren’t you the bass in Vocal Point?’” Seely says. “I don’t have any solos, and, I mean, even I didn’t know who the basses were in Vocal Point before I joined.”

Elder W. Mack Lawrence, Emeritus General Authority, Dies at Age 91

When Elder W. Mack Lawrence was called as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy, the Ensign published an article that shared his faith and testimony. “Family and church—those two things are the things that matter, the things that last,” Elder Lawrence said. “That’s really all there is. . . . It’s hard to put in words, to record on paper. But I know the gospel is true. I want to share that with others so they can find peace and happiness and purpose in life. There’s no one secret to helping others and sharing the gospel. It’s a continual, loving, patient process. It’s an arm around a shoulder, both figuratively and literally. That’s how we build the kingdom. That’s how we do the Lord’s work.”
