Judge Not–Or Should We?

Like many of you who were able to attend or watch the general Relief Society meeting last Saturday night, I loved listening to President Monson speak on charity at the close of the meeting. His remarks were loving, wise, and inspired. “Do [our] differences tempt us to judge one another?” asked President Monson. “Can we [...]

Revisiting First Impressions

Rosalyn Collings Eves is our UP CLOSE Trips and Travels guest author today.  She enjoys traveling, although she hasn’t been able to do nearly as much of this since becoming a mother to two young children: a four-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl.

Painting 101

Admittedly, I am a registered Republican. But, an active campaign volunteer, I’ve campaigned for more Democrats than Republicans. I vote for whomever I want.

How do I judge thee? Let me count the ways…

Bishop Brown stood in the common, legs crouched, hands held ready. As the disk sailed across the clear blue sky, he leapt and caught it with a loud, “Yes!” His wife, Peggy, laughed as he held it above his head like a trophy, then readied herself for her own catch. Soon, they settled into an [...]

A stone’s throw

As I sat down with my family on the back row of the chapel I forced back unwanted tears and tried to ignore the bitter sting of what had just transpired. Someone–a good person whom I knew was well-intentioned–had just taken me to task based on something they had overheard my 13-year-old daughter say in [...]
