On October 28, 2018, from a room overlooking the newly dedicated Concepcion Chile Temple, President Russell M. Nelson spoke about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “We are witnesses to the recovery process,” he said. “If you think the church is fully restored, it is only the beginning. There is much more to come.”Then, with a gentle, knowing smile, he added:”Wait until next year, and the year after that. Take your vitamins. Get some rest. It’s going to be very exciting.”I will never forget the feeling in the room as President Nelson spoke these historic words about the…
Lately, I’ve found myself feeling more and more stressed and overwhelmed. It feels like I can barely escape my ever-growing to-do list: social media, TV, the pressures of working two jobs, raising three young children, or simply keeping a household running.

Photo by Laura E. Adkins/Open AI Peter Fox September 21, 2023 Yom Kippur is a day many Jews associate with dread and cynicism. Until recently, I was one of them. On top of harshly judging your questionable life choices, you’re expected to fast for 25 hours while contemplating the looming possibility of being written out of the Book of Life. For some, it’s like the Super Bowl of self-judgment. It’s not exactly the most loving holiday. Or is it? As these themes marinated in my mind, heightened by two years of a global pandemic, I drew a connection to another…
I saw God in everything. My childhood spirituality matured into mysticism. As a born-and-raised East Tennessean and the granddaughter of a Seventh-day Aventist minister, my nature and upbringing led me to the faith. Surrounded by majestic purple mountains, the natural world seemed alive and thinly veiled. As a child, it struck me as unpleasantly. I saw something sacred.
