On A Motley Vision, Anneke Majors has written the post I intended to write. :) Actually, not exactly the same, but I did plan to read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, with the goal of making the same points Anneke makes in her post. It revolves around this question:

From the LDS Newsroom via NorthTemple: A flash mob of teenagers wore Sunday dress to school on Monday in honor of President Hinckley.
Preparing for school on Monday morning took a different turn for thousands of teenage Mormon students who, some 12 hours earlier, had learned of the death ...
Earlier today I came across an interesting post on the Mormon Artists Group blog:
What will the hymnal of 2043 be like?
If the evolution of our hymnbook is any indicator, the 2043 book will have many new voices....
