My wife and I tend to have the same conversation with acquaintances on a regular basis. We go through all the small talk and it usually ends up in someone asking us what our kids are into. We proceed to tell them that they’re in a really great choir. “Oh… that’s cool” they normally say in a…

They say that a prophet should be a window to the Lord. I would say President Monson has been just that. I can’t pick up the phone and give him a call, ask him how he’s doing, offer him a blessing, or tell him what I think of his years of service… but I can…
Not too long ago, I flew to Boston to speak at a public affairs conference. When I finished speaking, I had the opportunity to shake hands and mingle with the great people who had attended. As I was getting ready to leave, a man came up to me in the foyer, shook my hand, and…
If I didn’t have the worst singing voice known to mankind, and I was talented enough to earn a spot with the Tabernacle Choir, I would sing with all my heart at the Presidential Inauguration. Here’s why. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is America’s choir. Of course they should sing at the Presidential Inauguration. They are not…
Dear President Monson, Much of the world thinks I’m weird for believing in a prophet. But I say that without a prophet, we don’t have a correct understanding of Jesus Christ. It has been the same since the beginning of time. Prophets exist to reveal the character and attributes of Christ so that we can…
Someone just made your really mad. They really pushed your button…and you’re starting to feel weird, physically. You may start to wonder what the effects of anger and negativity on your health might be. You’re chest is getting tight. You’re starting to sweat. At this point…you don’t even know why your mad. Someone was wrong….

And some people feed them because they just absolutely love to feed the missionaries. Here are the 4 major reasons why we absolutely love to feed the missionaries: 1. Each Missionary Has A…
Over the last few years, I’ve had lots of people tell me that Mormonism is the byproduct of a genius writer and conman, namely Joseph Smith. I’ve argued that there was no way a frontier boy like Joseph Smith could have written one of the most influential books in human history. The counter argument to me…
Somewhere on the front of every Mormon church sits a plaque that reads, “Visitors Welcome.” I sort of wish that there could be another saying on that plaque that would read, “Doubters Welcome.” Of course I want visitors or “non-members” to come to church, check it out, and be part of our great church family….
So about 12 years ago, I had one of the coolest experiences and then one of the worst experiences of my mission… both within about 20 seconds of each other. My companion and I were in our car, sitting at a stop light in Michigan. We saw some people in the car next to us…
