Dr. Candace Mcnaughton, a medical doctor and Latter-day Saint, discusses the pandemic, specifically addressing our individual responsibilities to seek information from the primary source.

God spoke to the great prophets of the Old Testament in some rather unique ways, most of them deeply visual. Ezekiel had wonderful visions that would grasp his hearers’ imagination, causing them to pay attention and think profoundly. In one of those visions he saw a great valley of dry bones bleaching in the sun. Visualize that scene with me for just a moment. Before us is a wide valley, filled with bones as far as the eye can see in every direction. A great army or a mighty people have all died, and their bones lie exposed to the weather. Ezekiel stands “in the midst of the valley,” when the Lord enters the scene and causes Ezekiel “to pass by [the bones] round about . . . and, lo, they were very dry” (Ezekiel 37:1–2). After Ezekiel makes a circuit of the valley, the Lord addresses His prophet with a question: “Son of man, can these bones live?”

"He hasn't reported for work in two months, and he hasn't communicated with his supervisors. Those were the reasons for the termination."

Self-compassion helps us be more caring, loving, and intimate—and less controlling. So why can it be so hard to be kind to ourselves?

While some dads are deadbeats and some mothers truly do an amazing job raising kids on their own, the lasting effects of a great father cannot be underestimated. I should know, because my dad is amazing. I say this neither to boast nor to gush, but rather because, in both my personal and professional opinion, he's got this dad thing pretty much figured out. Allow me to share seven fatherhood lessons that I learned from him (along with a few of my own thoughts).

Dear Dave,

It's simple: boys and girls are different. In some cases, treating a daughter differently than a son makes sense; gender is a divinely appointed part of personal identity and our differences are important to remember and plan for. But in in the cases of modesty, Church awards programs, and technology, it might be best to consider parenting policies that don't favor one gender over another, as we've learned:
