Did you know laughter makes you more attractive, relieves stress, strengthens relationships, and burns calories?

The Most Rev. Joseph Kurtz, visiting Salt Lake City at the invitation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says the two faiths "stand together on issues that are good for America."

When we feel like we aren't receiving answers to our prayers from our Heavenly Father, often we can feel alone, forgotten, or even confused. However, our Heavenly Father loves us with an infinite love.

Elder Peihopa from New Zealand and Elder Linford from Utah decided they would use their musical talents to share the good word—and now they have 3,500 shares on Facebook alone and hundreds of thousands of views. Their song, "Beautiful Days," shares their love for missionary work, the gospel, and our Savior. The two are currently serving in the Canada Calgary Mission.

You might not guess it if you saw it, but these maintenance workers are actually members of BYU's Vocal Point, and boy do they have a surprise up their sleeve!

In my psychology practice, there are times I’m able to work with members of the Church. They come with the same types of problems that non-LDS clients do: anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting issues, etc. However, because of our shared faith I am often able to use a different approach with the Latter-day Saints than with other clients. I remember one particular client I met with years ago. He was having daily panic attacks and had come in to seek help. Among other things, I inquired regarding his personal spiritual practices, including prayer and scripture study. He said he prayed most days but rarely read from the scriptures. We talked about many other things that day, but I left him with the assignment to study the scriptures daily, focusing on those passages that promised peace.

One of the hardest commands the Lord gives us in the scriptures is one we don’t often think of: “be not weary in well-doing, for you are laying the foundation of a great work” (D&C 64:33-34). But what happens if you are weary? What happens if you are exhausted, burned out, over-stretched, and just need a break?

Despite what you may have heard on Broadway, there is no way to succeed in business without really trying. Even if you really try, however, you aren't necessarily guaranteed to succeed. There are certain things you need to know and understand. Provo resident Stephen W. Gibson, 72, knows those things and, nearly 15 years ago, made a decision to share that knowledge with some people who desperately needed it. In 1999, Gibson and his wife, Bette Gibson, temporarily moved to the Philippines to pursue the self-appointed task of teaching business principles to Filipinos who had served proselytizing missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but hadn't been able to move ahead with their professional ambitions after returning home. The Gibsons, both Latter-day Saints, considered becoming missionaries themselves in order to advance their plans.

When my Aunt Lily called my mom this week to tell her she had terminal cancer and just two weeks left to live, she explained the prognosis as though she feels like someone just came to her house, knocked on her door, and told her she had a unicorn in her back yard. Whatever happened and whatever treatments she chose, the unicorn was staying.
