“If we worry too much about ourselves, we won’t have time for others.” – Mother Teresa “The best way to find yourself is to lose you in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
At a concert in Salt Lake City last week, pop star David Archuleta of American Idol fame made an unexpected and emotional announcement. After a couple of years of skirting questions about it, he revealed that he will indeed serve a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though he hasn't made public where he will be sent.
“You have four girls?!” said with such disdain almost anytime I go in public. I’m sure parents of all boys get it, too. And I know the person saying it is just making an attempt at friendly conversation with the frazzled stranger they see before them. I get it. And I always agreed with their disdain.

Twice a year, the 400-plus LDS Church meetinghouses in Utah County sit dormant on Sunday. The normally bustling buildings are traded for worshiping from the couch (or the Conference Center, for the lucky 21,200).

Many of my fellow evangelicals are especially concerned about this possibility. Some are unhappy with me because I have gone on record as saying that Romney's church, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is not a cult.
Drive through any city and you’ll see steeples or domes aspiring in the skyline. These houses of worship have a way of both standing out and fitting in. Businesses, town halls and residents join them as neighbors. Children walk by them on their way to school. Yet come Sunday morning, a different purpose emerges. The spiritual ideal of a church spreads beyond the spires where few notice the homeless shelters, hospitals and soup kitchens. Like the religious people that run them, the difference they make is felt more than seen.
