In my personal spiritual journey the past couple of years, I’ve come to realize how expansive God’s love and reach is. I see God and His love at work in so many different people’s lives, regardless of religious background, current alignment (or lack thereof) with the Ten Commandments, etc. I have come to know a God who truly is “no respecter of persons,” and who truly loves His children and earnestly does all He can to bless and help them.

"I was looking down and all of a sudden a huge blast came from my right. . . . My watch on my left hand just disappeared. My left shoe just was blown off.

With so much darkness and negativity pressing around us on a daily basis, sometimes we all need a reminder of how much light really does surround and fill our lives as members of Jesus Christ's Church.

Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints affirmed the importance of the free exercise of religion and called for people to work together to protect this First Amendment right. “It is imperative that those of us who believe in God and in the reality of right and wrong unite more effectively to protect our religious freedom to preach and practice our faith in God,” he said. Elder Oaks outlined the positive impact religion has had on society.
“I remember what starvation looks like as I sit down to abundance three times a day,” said Elder Alexander B. Morrison, an emeritus member of the Quorum of the Seventy who was known for assisting the poor, hungry, and mentally ill as a renowned scientist, according to Deseret News. “Carrying this burden keeps me, on the most fundamental of all levels, human.”
I recently had the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before and may never do again: attend the midnight screening of a popular film, opening night. See, my sister somehow won two tickets to an event called “Potterpalooza” at a local theater. As you can probably guess, this was basically a big pre-screening party for the latest and last installment in the Harry Potter franchise. However, my sister had to go to her ward’s Girls’ Camp (as an advisor) and couldn’t make it. Her husband, while not particularly a Potter fan, decided to go and invited me because we basically enjoy doing anything together, and he couldn’t think of anyone else who would want the tickets more. So the two of us ended up meeting at Jordan Commons in Sandy, UT around 11:00 that night (we couldn’t make it earlier) for the big event.
