K and I watched Sister Wives last night on TLC. It was kinda like seeing a car wreck . . . we just couldn't "not look"!

Our ward is going to have sacrament meeting only, as we meet at 9:00 am. I'm in the ward choir and we're singing four songs, plus I know the primary children are working on at least one. Sounds like a musical Christmas sacrament meeting, my favorite kind! What is your ward doing?

Earlier this week, while in the library I saw an article on IVF in a Catholic magazine. I am currently Roman Catholic so I started reading it and posted about it on the IVF board. What came out of that discussion was, how can you be Catholic and know that the church approves of your child but...

One family in our ward opens up their 72 hour emergency kits and lets the kids eat anything they want out of them. Then they replenish those items and repack the kits. It keeps the food reasonably fresh that way, doing it twice a year. Another mom I knew used to let her (now in his 40s!) son...

This is part of my favorite talk given Saturday night at the general Relief Society meeting in Salt Lake City. The meeting was for all women. It looks like this isn't on YouTube yet, so I have just a link. It's the second one from the top that I particularly liked: ...

I'm already excited about Conference on Sept 30 and Oct 1. What do you think will be a theme threaded throughout the talks? I wonder if there will be more emphasis about the love and acceptance the Church has for homosexuals and encouraging us to feel and show the same.

My girls and I visited this week. We went to both visitors' centers, the Tabernacle, and the Assembly Hall. They are getting old enough to remember things. It was lovely!

I know there are a few LDS folks and a few lurkers around, but I've kind of lost track of who some of them are. Let's re-introduce ourselves, both lurkers and LDS folks. Name: Katrack ;) Approximate age: 40s Connection to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: life-long...

Has anyone been there? Seen the Nauvoo Pageant, gone to the Nauvoo Temple, or participated in any of the other tours or activities there lately?

We had 22 people released from our committee! No wonder we have good activities! The one I'm most afraid we'll lose is our semi-annual trip to the Mesa Temple WITH virtually on-site babysitting provided, along with a pizza lunch. Dh and I make it a point to get there on those two Saturdays and...

Do we have any returned missionaries on our board? I planned to go but got married shortly before I would have gone. Since that was my ill-fated first marriage, I sure wish I'd gone on that mission! ;) (Got some great kids from it though, so that was a positive). Since dh and I are older...

Hi all, My next door neighbor has invited us to her son's blessing. He was born in February and the blessing is going to be in early May. What type of gift is appropriate for this event? Thanks!

. . . the final song on Saturday afternoon? Let Zion in her Beauty Rise? It's one of my very favorites in the hymn book but I've never sung it in Church. I wonder if any of you know it?

Mine was hands down the best EVER. I can hardly believe I'm saying that. We had three speakers plus the Bishop. The first speaker was single with no children. The second was married for 11 years before they foster adopted a special needs baby 2 years ago. The third is an older lady and she and her...

Have you listened to any of the "conversations" with various interesting LDS Church members on ldsradio.org? I went there to download one by Stephanie Nielsen (which I did), but came across this one by my former stake president from when I lived in Salt Lake City. He tells the very interesting...

I can't make this a direct link as I can with YouTube videos, but just click on the first live part of this link. It's a cool commercial. I love seeing old buildings I once knew very well, and I love the ballroom dancing couple at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Nice touch, given BYU's...

I loved the Christ-centered music today and I loved the story about the calves following or not following their mothers. I liked the talk about judging others and I liked the several talks yesterday about welcoming and accepting all people. What about you?

I haven't encouraged my girls watch Conference as I should have in the past but I'm going to print up some things and choose my battles and see how much I can get them to pay attention this time. Two of them are close to baptism age so I'll play that card. ;) Anyway, the activities look good! ...
