“She wanted to know what women did in our Church, and that was all the encouragement I needed to give her a glimpse into life as a Latter-day Saint woman.”

My dad wasn’t a member of the LDS church. In fact, I’m not sure he was actually a member of any church. He was, however, a man of great faith, who thought that all churches had some truth to them, and enjoyed listening to their various sermons.

Last night's Utah Jazz playoff game was brutal. Even though the Jazz came out on top, there were definitely some tense moments when the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied. And then, of course, there were the fouls, as Mitt Romney so clearly pointed out.
As a 19-year-old sophomore at Brigham Young University, I roomed with a group of strong, intelligent women. We had watched virtually the entire male half of our freshman cohort leave to serve as Mormon missionaries. We women had the same ambition — most of us had plans to serve a mission — but because it wasn’t our time, we saw the world a different way.

Life circumstances took me on a different course.
If I were sitting in a small group, talking to Christ (can you even imagine?) what would you ask? I’d probably ask something like:

Trying to look nonchalant, I walked toward the lobby one more time to see if the bishop’s door was open, just like I had the week before and the week before that. It hadn’t been open any of those other weeks, but tonight might be different. Palms sweating, stomach aching, and head hanging low, I slinked one more time through the church building.
Sarah Frei had something important to tell her parents before she was wheeled into surgery. She just couldn’t figure out a way to say it.
When it comes to dating and being single, it can be difficult not to compare yourself to others. But at a time when Al Fox Carraway was single and felt like she didn't quite compare to other girls, she found the perfect way to find peace in her life.
