Though his body was crippled, his mind was sharp,” said Gordon B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “His wisdom was deep and profound. It came of long experience in many fields. He brought with him the mind of a lawyer, and the compassion of a church leader. His faith in the truth of the restored gospel was unflagging. There was no doubt in his mind concerning the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith. He had no doubt about the validity of the Book of Mormon. His posterity, whom he loved, was his greatest treasure.”

Remembering President James E. Faust
Man vs Mild
by Dave Ellis
My wife doesn’t watch much television. So when she finds a show she likes, I run with it to get some quality couch sitting time with her. Yes I’m that lazy, I will watch a show that doesn’t interest me as long as I can sit down while doing it. Oh, and be with my wife.

Nephite History: A Blueprint For Our Time (Part 1 of 4)
by Anthony E. Larson
Nephi used a handy teaching device to instruct his people. He found it useful to compare events and conditions in his time to those found in his scriptures, “the books of Moses” and the “writings of Isaiah.” He wrote, “…for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning.” (1 Nephi 19:23.) He later amplified on that concept by adding, “Now these are the words, and ye may liken them unto you and unto all men.” (2 Nephi 11:8.)

Cleaning House the Clean Sweep Way
By Lu Ann Staheli
I LOVE the TLC program Clean Sweep. Even though I’ve seen each episode a dozen times, I watch whenever they run one, and organizer Peter Walsh is the reason why.
When I listen to his genteel approach with people who cling to their stuff, I am more motivated to clean house, de‑clutter areas, and show respect toward meaningful items. One of my favorite ways to clean is to turn on Clean Sweep and watch while I de‑junk a closet or sort items in a dresser drawer.

Liberated From the Laundry Room
By Sherrie Mackelprang
Seven children, two adults, and a dog were a perfect recipe for making mountains of dirty laundry. As a child, I remember scurrying to the peak of such mountains and laying on the soft mound. My mother could often be found in the center of what looked like the clothing Rockies exchanging one batch of laundry for another. Out with the clean and in with the dirty. She was a master at this job. The machines chugged and hummed with steady use.
