Sweet stuff. Here are a few more sometimes lesser-known pages:

The Girl Effect

This is an interesting site that I had show up in a sidebar ad. I watched the little flash movie on their website. I think they hit a lot of good points: people are all of value (I guess I'd better point out that boys are too), that families impact communities and nations, that education is foundational in improving one's adult life, and that many problems in society today are brought about because of the waning importance given to upholding family by society. Hmm, where have I heard that before?

I'm so thankful to have the true gospel of Jesus Christ, taught by authorized prophets and apostles as in times of old. Heavenly Father has shown us the way that we can live and be happy. If we would all realize that this way is heralded by the prophet constantly, we might find happiness in our lives more often by following.

It's not just the girl effect. It's the child of God effect. We all matter to Him. I'm glad that I know that.

A Brand New Year!

This is just such a great example of how the church is expanding and using technology at an accelerating pace to connect with the techie generations. I think it is wonderful. I think it is inspired. And I think it will help and support a wider and wider mesh of young people and others who will find and experience the full gospel of Jesus Christ in whole new ways.

I love listening to Elder Holland! His voice just rings of gospel truth.
