A few days ago it was brought to our attention that we could actually serve a mission... Right now! Re-reading that statement isn’t going to change what we just shared with you. You are reading it right, we said we could actually contact our stake presidents and ask to serve a service mission right now, and you probably could too. However, that’s not the purpose of this post. While looking up information about serving a service mission we came across a few web-sites that we found very interesting. The first one is LDS Tech, it had information about serving in the Inner-city, we don’t know why that sparked our interest (seriously, we really don’t :/) but it did. The LDS-Tech site directed us to another site at lds.org. This site gave a more detailed message about serving in the inner-city. Disclaimer: We are just two sistas trying to get a passing grade in our Relief Society class, which by the way ain’t always easy. While we may not know how to make a big ol’ beautiful bowl/platter of green jello. There is still something we can do in helping to build the Lord’s kingdom.

Especially in difficult situations, we can learn about the power of love.

The new missionary district leader could not believe what he was hearing. He was listening to Elder Parker, who had been out for almost two years, stumble his way through the first discussion. Any missionary of worth who had been out three weeks or longer knew the first discussion, but Elder Parker didn’t. The early morning study session came to a close, and Elder Parker left with his companion.

It was a few days before we found out that she had died. . . .

1. They Are Not All the Same Person Sure, you know in theory that every human being is a complicated piece of work, but in practice it's always easier to lump together those who belong to a group a) we don't understand, b) we don't like, c) we do like, or d) whose constituent members dress almost exactly the same.

Fox News is the mouthpiece for the evangelical religious right and the evangelical religious right has a problem with the Mormon religion which some claim, at best, is not true Christianity and, at worst, a cult. So was it coincidence or design when Southern Christian conservative Ainsley Earhardt said, during a recent Fox & Friends show, that Mitt Romney isn't a Christian? The interesting thing is that this isn't the first time that Fox News has offended Mormons! Whoopsie? During the Sunday July 17th Fox & Friends, Ainsley Earhardt, Dave Briggs, and Clayton Morris were discussing whether possible GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry would be able to raise as much money as Mitt Romney. Earhardt, a Southern Christian, said, “Well the Christian coalition, I think he (Perry) can get a lot of money from that base because of Romney obviously not being a Christian." Briggs said "Oh, Yes." Later in the show, Earhardt issued a retraction - or was it?

"This is how I am currently feeling about wedding and engagement season coming up," Janessa James wrote as a caption on the February 3 post. "Yes, this is an actual photo of me (extremely single) helping my best friend with her bridals. The photographer asked me to throw her train up and then dive out of the shot, and so I did. Very theatrically."

Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ for an entire month but only celebrate His Resurrection for one day? Here are some tips on how to fill your Easter season with reminders of the Savior.
