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.

I love being a mother.
I love playing tag in the back yard.
I love reading together in bed.
I love making cheerio necklaces.
I love hearing the kids roar into the house after school.
I love singing showtunes and dancing in the family room.
I love sitting on the bed having a ‘heart-to-heart’ with one of the kids.
I love [...]

When people start talking about politics around me, I tend to get a little, well, worked up.

My preschooler’s foot kicked my leg in protest and I stifled a yelp. I tried to maintain the pretense of my eyes being closed by squinting from the bottom of my lids while wrestling El Guille to be quiet. From the pulpit Brother Soandso droned on and on while the clock in my head continued [...]

Hmmmm

Six weeks ago, in a conversation with my husband, we sat discussing the general gist of life here on earth. The conversation sounded something like, “Since we’re really just down here to figure stuff out, wouldn’t it make sense to just get it all over with, go through it all now? I mean, if there [...]

rant and rave, or, “I heart Utah” redux

Lately it seems that every time I turn around someone is saying something not very nice about the place I have lived now for the past 17 years. A place I love, though I am fully aware of its flaws. The place I am choosing to raise my family and which has given my kids [...]
