Learning to Let Go of Anger and Love Your Neighbor

I’ll admit, I hold grudges. Not big grudges, and not like, ruin a friendship grudge, but I nurse small wounds longer than I should. My husband calls them my golden nuggets. Tiny little pieces of rock that I carry around in my soul. They don’t weigh a lot, but every now and then, I bring them out to shine them (read: emotionally obsess over them until my husband tells me to relax and go to sleep).

What your children really need for Christmas

We often think that an over-scheduled holiday season focused too heavily materialistic things is a modern-day problem and think longingly of the “olden days” when Christmas was simpler. But apparently, more than 100 years ago moms had the same nostalgia for a simpler time and struggled with some of the same busyness and worry over the focus on toys and treats during the holidays that we worry about today. I recently came across this great quote by Emmaline B. Wells, a writer, champion of women’s suffrage and church leader (originally printed in the December 1901 edition of the Young Woman’s Journal).

Mormon with rare skin disease paints, sings and reachs out to others

Imagine being a child with a condition where you are as fragile as a butterfly's wings. On the outside, physical wounds prevent you from normal daily activities enjoyed by other children.

Christmas I Remember Best: A Christmas in the Middle of the Great Depression

In December 1936, I was 8 years old and my father has died the year before at Thanksgiving time. For those who know and remember, the Great Depression was in full bloom. We lived way out in the country in Lincoln County, Miss. It rained a lot that fall and winter. The ditches were filled with water and mud. The unpaved roads were muddy and full of potholes.

New York Times: Black Mormons and the politics of identity

When Marguerite Driessen, a professor here, entered Brigham Young University in the early 1980s, she was the first black person many Mormon students had ever met, and she spent a good bit of her college time debunking stereotypes about African-Americans.
