American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic released a music video on YouTube yesterday of a beautiful arrangement of "If You Could Hie to Kolob" that captures every emotion in what it is like receiving healing from the Savior.
When Senior Airman Christopher Burns returned home Nov. 22 from a six-month deployment to the Middle East, his unit made sure he was the first person off the plane.

With Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman launching their 2012 presidential campaigns and "The Book of Mormon" the Best Musical on Broadway this year, an unprecedented level of public attention has been directed toward the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Miraculous claims surrounding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon are an evidence of the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith. Critics intent on discrediting the Restoration point to DNA studies on indigenous American peoples in an attempt to expose Joseph, the Book of Mormon, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as frauds. Claiming that scientific evidence excludes any possibility that Middle Eastern or ancient Jewish travelers came to the Americas in antiquity, such critics attempt to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of Latter-day Saints and those of other faiths concerning the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.
Whether or not Mitt Romney becomes president of the United States, the editor of The Jewish Week in New York says there is a lot Jews can learn from the Mormons. "For the most part, (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) takes a decidedly, and admirably low-key approach to negativity in the media and elsewhere, focusing on its mission," wrote Gary Rosenblatt, The Jewish Week editor and publisher.

Audiences will thrill to the visually fascinating Bells on Temple Square during its annual winter concert on Friday, 16 November, in the Salt Lake Tabernacle at 7:30 p.m. The concert, titled Winter Festival of Sound, will feature wintry holiday hymns and American folk songs.Conductor LeAnna Willmore says, “Think of all of the happy thoughts associated with the ringing of a bell — the announcement of the arrival of a friend ringing your doorbell, the holy ringing of church bells, the tinkling of sleigh bells. Winter Festival of Sound is a celebration of this most cheerful sound and the feelings associated with it.”
The public affairs department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently noted an uptick in the media's use of the word cult to describe Mormonism, even in august publications such as the New York Times and the Economist. It is probably not coincidental that two Mormons, Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, are running for president.
Nobody is exactly sure when and where the Memorial Day tradition was started.
Most Americans are a bit gun-shy when it comes to talking about faith and politics. And it’s no wonder, given that for the last few decades we’ve seen religion used as a political weapon on sensitive personal issues, like the most recent entanglement that seems to be rolling back the clock on contraception for women. As the landmark election of President Obama in 2008 presented an important opportunity to discuss race in America, this year presents another important opportunity: to improve the quality of our national conversation on religion, as America contemplates the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney.
