Here's why Proposition 8 needs to pass (and why homeschooling is going to become more and more appealing to parents): Pushing same-sex marriage in schools is wrong, sure, but the frightening thing is that the father in the video got ...
If you haven't noticed, America's pretty much on the verge of crumbling. Glenn Beck's got a really good piece on what could happen: I will give you what I believe is the best-case scenario and that is we go through a significant downturn here and at the other end, ...
Elder Uchtdorf's talk in general conference a few minutes ago was just what I needed to hear. I keep trying to do things my way, on my own strength, but I can't do it. I'm not strong enough. Whenever I cling to myself, sooner or later I start drowning in ...

I've previewed a few popular television shows over the last handful of months and I've noticed something troublesome: they're not as clean as they used to be. It's not just that, though; the culture of what's accepted in society and on TV (and what's not) has radically altered over ...
Back in the 1840s, the Saints established the University of Nauvoo. Joseph Smith said that it was to "enable us to teach our children wisdom -- to instruct them in all knowledge, and learning, in the Arts, Sciences and Learned Professions. We hope to make this institution one of ...
