It doesn't matter who you are, we all have our cloudy days. You may have lost your phone for the millionth time or you may have important gospel questions that remain unanswered. For whatever reason, we all feel hurt, alone, confused, or angry for time to time.

Dear Dave,

There is nothing more important than spending quality time with family. The kids won’t stay young forever, and now is the time to make family memories that will last a lifetime. However, many people think that the only way to make those family memories is to spend a lot of cash on an expensive vacation. We know money is an important factor when planning a trip. Fortunately, Ruby’s Inn has everything you need for some quality family bonding time that won’t break the bank.

"It's kind of sad how talking about faith brings up this huge divide," Lindsey Stirling said in an interview with Huffington Post. She recalled the initial negative reactions she had from fans when she first began talking openly about her faith.

This isn't the first column you've read about the role of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney 's religion in the 2012 election cycle. Given the media's fascination with the topic, it might not even be the first today. Romney's membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is among the hottest topics at America's communal water cooler.

Several years ago, I visited Provo, Utah — in the heart of what its residents call “Happy Valley” — to deliver a lecture at Brigham Young University. My gracious hosts sent me home with a prodigious amount of branded souvenirs: T-shirts, mugs — you name it. The Mormons are serious about product placement.

Over the years, I’ve gone in and out of phase with my like of visiting teaching. In the last two years, I’ve tried to be a better member of the Relief Society, by actually being a visiting teacher. There were some years here in the recent past where I was not a visiting teacher for various reasons. But when I felt the spirit nudge me to call the Relief Society President of our ward, and tell her I could do it again, I did. It was a really overwhelming thing for me, even though I felt I could do go and serve. Following that direction from the Holy Spirit has taught me that indeed the Lord does provide a way for us to do the things he asks us to do, just like he did with Nephi, and Moses, and Noah and so many others. Back when I was still a single gal, fresh out of college, and freshly back in Mesa, AZ, after living in Provo and BYU for 3 years, where my visiting teacher was my roommate, and the sisters we taught lived five steps next door, I was in a big singles’ ward with a lot of people I didn’t know, and who frankly, scared me to death most of the time.
