Finding God In The Great Outdoors

Last updated on: July 15, 2026 at 9:58 am   By Abby Christianson

July is National Park and Recreation Month. I was recently asked if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints plans hikes, retreats, or outdoor worship services in the summer. Oh boy, do we! And I am really excited to tell you about them. The Church does informal and formally organized outdoor activities in the summer. Enjoying the great outdoors is one of my favorite activities. When I was teaching Primary (ages 3-11), I remember taking the kids outside the... Read more

Generational Miracles: True Stories of God’s Protection

Last updated on: April 22, 2026 at 9:47 pm   By Abby Christianson

0 Comments

After 9/11, I remember hearing so many stories of people who were running late to work and missed being caught in the inferno in the Twin Towers. Their stories were miracles. My own brother had recently started a new job, leaving his old position in the Twin Towers. That move saved his life. I also have stories of Heaven intervening in my life to save me from disaster. God is actively involved in our lives. And today I want to... Read more

Hidden truths revealed- miraculous stories of healing

We are so blessed to have the scriptures and the prophecies of the Second Coming laid out for us. The signs of the times, outlined in the scriptures, are ancient prophecies that will come to pass before the Savior’s second coming.  And those who know what to watch for will be prepared when He comes again.  The news is full of signs if you know what to watch for. Wars and rumors of wars are everywhere. The love of men... Read more

God Understands Autism: A Parent’s Comforting Mantra

Last updated on: March 26, 2026 at 8:04 pm   By Abby Christianson

0 Comments

On my parenting journey, one of the best and most comforting mantras I have started to tell myself daily is this: God understands Autism. This mantra gave me insight into God and autism in four important ways.     First, God is the best support your child could ever have. He not only understands Autism, but He deeply loves and intimately knows your child’s heart. He knows how your child’s brain works. He knows the challenges that have come their... Read more

Why Latter-day Saints Honor Eve And Mary

Last updated on: March 3, 2026 at 9:54 pm   By Abby Christianson

0 Comments

This International Women’s Day, I can’t help but think of two of the most important women in history, Mother Eve and the Virgin Mary. These two amazing women were vital to the success of God’s plan of salvation. I honor both of them. The single greatest difference between our church and others is our view of Mother Eve.    Mother Eve is a hero who made a very courageous choice.   We know Eve is the mother of all humans... Read more

Making Your Home A Sacred Space

Last updated on: February 21, 2026 at 11:12 pm   By Abby Christianson

What is a sacred space to you? Is it a church, a temple, or a shrine? Although some religions encourage a home shrine, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages us to make our entire home into a place where God is welcome. This blesses the family as we focus on filling our home with God’s love. Our homes should invite the Holy Ghost to dwell with us.     We have images of the Savior in nearly... Read more

Give This Season And Feel The Love With Giving Machines

Last week, I noticed my friend had posted online that she and her family had found their local Giving Machine. And each of her 3 young children had chosen a gift to donate. Her youngest was rather upset to discover the chickens she had decided to give were not available for her to take home on the spot.  It was adorable!  Every year, I love watching the progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Light the World... Read more

Remembering Russell M Nelson; Doctor Of Body And Soul

Last updated on: October 2, 2025 at 11:49 am   By Abby Christianson

  Russell M Nelson has gone home to his Savior, and we are left remembering his wonderful life of compassion and service. He served as an Apostle for the church since 1984, for over 40 years. And he has been a prophet of the church since 2018. He visited 32 countries and US territories, and announced 200 temples in his time serving God’s children. Before that, he was a world-class heart surgeon, famously operating on a Chinese opera singer, Fang... Read more

Are Married Mothers Happier? A New Study Says YES!

For most of my life, I looked forward to being a mom. I was the oldest of 6 kids, and even though I was Mommy’s little helper, I didn’t really understand all that went into Motherhood. We struggled to have kids. It took us 6 years to have our miracle baby. The subsequent years have been the most fulfilling of my life. I love motherhood! I know this is the one job where nobody else can replace me, and I... Read more

Inside Anthro Weekend Utah: A Creative, Fun Community

So, what are Furries? I have heard all kinds of crazy rumors. So when my son first expressed interest in this scene, I did some research. I was baffled by rumors that Furries think they are actual animals and use litter boxes. But that is so far from the truth.   Furries are essentially people who create and dress up as personalized mascots. They are much like those who enjoy Renaissance Fairs or Comic Con. And this weekend was Anthro... Read more
