“Yea, cleave unto me with all your heart, that you may assist in bringing to light those things of which has been spoken—yea, the translation of my work; be patient until you shall accomplish it.” Doctrine and Covenants 11:19

In late May or early June 1829, Hyrum Smith visited his brother Joseph in Harmony, Pennsylvania. At this time, Joseph and Oliver Cowdery were nearly finished translating the gold plates. More pertinent to Hyrum’s visit, however, was the news of the recent visitation of John the Baptist on May 15 to restore the A ..read more

It is easy to get swallowed up in bad news. There are abundant opportunities to be gloomy. Ingrown toenails. Lack of rain. National contention. Family challenges. Inflation. Egg shortages. There is plenty to worry and fret about. We can start living in a cloud of anxiety.
I don’t want to dismiss legitimate concerns. In this world, we are all besieged by aches, pains, disappointments, and tragedies. Yet I would like to put our lives in perspective.
Imagine that you are walking the dusty trails of Palestine with Jesus as your companion. As you walk along with aching feet and gnawing hunger, you ..read more

In an article entitled Suze Orman’s Post-Divorce Guide to Personal Finance, Suze Orman wrote, “When you have the strength and determination to face the facts, you can achieve anything. It’s when we run and hide that we dig ourselves holes that can be excruciating to climb out of.” Unfortunately, many divorcees (including me) run and hide from the financial problems that have led to or resulted from their divorces.
For ten years before I separated from my first wife, I worked to develop a solo practice law firm specializing in property and land use litigation. My practice grew over time, and we ..read more

I heard the giggles of the three ten-year-old little girls before I even got to their room in the girls’ dorm at the new Rising Star Outreach campus in Bihar.
Some of you may remember the story of Lakshmi, the little girl who was diagnosed with leprosy, then subsequently abandoned by her mother on the streets of Bihar, in an effort to keep the rest of the family from being labeled as “Untouchables”.
A social worker had found Lakshmi on the streets, terrified and starving. She brought her into the hospital where she could be treated for leprosy. Finally, after some time Lakshmi was ..read more

During the Super Bowl, every decision matters. With millions of fans watching, the game often comes down to a single play call. And no call is more scrutinized than what a coach decides to do on fourth down. Punt? Attempt a field goal? Or go for it?
A new BYU study explains why NFL coaches, including Super Bowl contenders Andy Reid (Kansas City Chiefs) and Nick Sirianni (Philadelphia Eagles), may behave too conservatively on fourth down. Despite growing acceptance of analytics-driven decision-making, most coaches, including these two, are more cautio ..read more

As you read the Doctrine and Covenants, section 10 seems out of place chronologically. Since it talks about Martin Harris and the translation of the 116 pages, shouldn’t it come after Section 3? What happened? We’ll tell you today.

Welcome our dear friends to Meridian Magazine’s Come Follow Me podcast. We are Scot and Maurine Proctor and are excited to talk today about Doctrine and Covenants 10-11, “That You May Come Off Conqueror.”

Makell and Orion Burgoyne have seen firsthand how simple, thoughtful acts by others can make a huge difference in church being a welcoming place for their family.
Of their seven children, two have disabilities. Five-year-old daughter Marcy has spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic condition that makes it difficult to walk, especially up stairs. One recent act that touched the Burgoynes’ hearts was when the Primary presidency in their ward made sure Marcy’s class met on the main level of the meetinghouse ..read more
