A curriculum and teaching style introduced five years ago will now play an important role in the newly announced, shortened Sunday worship schedule.

Even though he's not LDS, this British TV host stands as an example to all of us of sticking to your standards and putting the Lord first, not matter what's on the line. I love this quote: "I was convinced that it was the right thing to honour God and follow his commandments. Observing the Lord’s Day is a great privilege and brings with it loads of blessings."

Just last week, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated more than 20,000 pounds of food to Feeding America in Richmond, Virginia, for the third year in a row. That's the equivalent of 17,000 meals. September is Hunger Action Month and this donation will replenish many of the empty shelves in food banks.

In March, Elder Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles along with several other Church leaders toured 10 Asian countries and visited with Saints in those areas. The growth of the Church in many of these areas is quite remarkable.

These hipster graphic prints feature famous LDS phrases, songs, and scripture that would look great on the walls of any LDS home. These would be fantastic hanging solo, or together as a collage.

Miller "is going to show the way for girls, that they can have it all," added Christy Tribe, president and CEO of Junior Achievement of Utah, in the video honoring Miller. "So they can be great mothers and great wives, and they can be strong business people, and philanthropic."

Mitt Romney can’t quite shake the Mormon question. My Daily Beast colleague McKay Coppins obtained some emails from a Perry evangelical adviser to a “leader in the development of Christian talk radio” showing that at least some within the Perry camp want to keep the issue, as they say, alive. The New York Times reported lengthily Sunday on Romney’s years as bishop of the Boston LDS temple. Christopher Hitchens has now declaimed on Mormonism’s “weird and sinister” belief system (rather tame adjectives, for Hitch). Is all this fair? Or, as Romney and his backers have it, is it religious bigotry? I’m not an expert on religion. But I do think I know a thing or two about politics, and from a nakedly political perspective, Romney definitely has a couple of questions to answer. Religious bigotry has nothing to do with it. Let’s begin with the obvious background. In 1960—121 years after Joseph Smith had an audience with President Martin Van Buren to lay before him the case for action against the persecution of his flock—John F. Kennedy famously established the idea in his Houston speech that there should be no religious test for the presidency. I support this. We all should.

Last week, Lindsey Stirling was featured on Larry King Now where she talked her explosive rise to fame and success, her faith, her new best-selling novel, as well as a few anecdotes that were fairly hilarious.

Holland: Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles”) In this biography of Jeffrey R. Holland, read about how his experiences and the influences of others helped build him into the powerful example of faith he is today.
