Editorial Spotlight

For the Welfare of Your Soul from Fall 2006

“But . . . but . . . I . . . want to show you something,” Katie says quietly. I have embarrassed her. She shows me a miniature Book of Mormon. Perfect for an eight-year-old to love. I finger the pages and listen to her tell me how her inactive grandmother found it when they were starting to paint. Katie asked if she could have it, and her grandmother obliged. The first person she wanted to tell about her new book was me, and I had yelled at her before she could show me.

My husband and I were talking one night about a young woman in our ward that had her baby taken away because of her living conditions (she claimed she couldn’t keep house because of her diabetes). After some conversation about it, I said, “It must break Heavenly Father’s heart to send those spirits into situations [...]

Love Heals

Last winter in the wake of a string of heartbreaking events in my family, I found myself in an old familiar position: doubled over with stomach pain, sleepless, sometimes vomiting because my insides were wound up so tight.

In February, I drove down to Salt Lake City and boarded a plane to fly to Phoenix to attend my Grandmother’s funeral in Thatcher, Arizona. I’d made this trip a hundred times, but rarely with such clear skies and never with such a tender heart.
