Maintaining a Spirit of Hope and Optimism

It’s a “New Year,” a time for thinking about how we might consider adjusting our lives to live with more purpose and meaning. When we live in a world seemingly dominated by negative news coming from every direction, living with faith sufficient to maintain a spirit of hope and optimism can become a non-stop challenge. Looking for more “positives” in our lives, while standing firm in our convictions and beliefs, isn’t an easy task. But when it’s achieved, we can become a more powerful people, filled with mental, physical, and spiritual strength.

Blind LDS teen organist is self-taught, plays by ear

Members of the Waimea 1st Ward, Kona Hawaii Stake, on the Big Island of Hawaii oftentimes make it a point to arrive early to sacrament meeting each Sunday. As they come in, find a seat and sit, the sounds coming from the chapel invite the Spirit as they enjoy the prelude music and talent of Kuha'o Kawaauhau-Case, a 15-year-old organist. "He is so unique and marvelous. ... I have such a love for Kuha'o and his enthusiasm for life and dedication to the Church," said Barbara Townsend, a member of his ward.

Brother Leostrin, second counselor in the St. Petersburg Russia Stake, was born and grew up in the sparkling port city on the Baltic Sea. The 35-year-old manages and arranges tours, guides and transportation for tourists, but he revels in showing visitors the city's gems himself — gems such as palaces of the czars and the gloriously restored Hermitage with its world-renowned collection of art.

Mormon Parenting: Is 'marriaging' more important for children than parenting?

In a recent Deseret News article titled “Good romantic partners are likely to be good parents,” clear connections are made between how well people do in their marriage relationship and how good they are at parenting. The article references a British study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. "A father who has a good relationship with the mother of his children is more likely to be involved and to spend time with his children and to have children who are psychologically and emotionally healthier," said W. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia and one of that study's authors. "Indeed, the quality of the marriage relationship affects the parenting behavior of both parents."
