To understand why Mitt Romney persists in the face of rejection, opposition and indifference from his own party, look no further than the two and a half years he spent in France, getting up at 6:30 a.m. every day to venture forth and have doors slammed in his face for 10 hours.

I confess that I’m going to miss the cult lifestyle. Staying up all night. Carousing with ne’er-do-wells. Terrorizing farm animals. Plotting to destroy the constitution.

Stephen Mansfield is the best-selling author of “The Faith of George W. Bush” and “The Faith of Barack Obama,” books which plumbed the theological underpinnings of the last two presidents. Now he has written “The Mormonizing of America,” a book scheduled for release next week that looks at the theology and influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – the religion of the Republican presumptive nominee for president. We asked Mansfield some questions about his book, the LDS religion and its most famous political adherent, Mitt Romney.
When it comes to appreciating the women in our lives, late LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley offered this advice in a 2003 general conference address: "Be kind to the women. They constitute half of the population and are mothers to the other half."
During his mission, Casey Fehlberg developed an exciting new goal: he wanted to become Cosmo the Cougar for BYU, and he started doing handstands and pushups every day to get in shape. This fact alone shows Fehlberg's love of adventure and desire to make people smile and bring a little fun to life.
According to The Wall Street Journal, you should listen to your friend's problems rather than advise. Experts told the WSJ that this helps your friends feel supported when trying to make important life decisions.
