As a teenager, I was the model for an illustration accompanying an article in my Church's youth magazine (The New Era). I've only gone downhill from there!

Illustration by @RogerMotzkus.

@RibBears88642 @CoreyJMahler Okay, thank you, but the scripture Corey shared doesn't seem to have anything to do with subjective physical human beauty. At least, from context it doesn't seem to be about that at all.

@BSpackman When our son went out a couple of years ago, at 19, I was happy to hear from him that the current equilibrium seems to be about 50-50, so lots still go after a year away from home.

I love Professor @SharonJanelle Harris's take on Enos in the Book of Mormon. https://t.co/xKtsB2dOeT

The audiobook just dropped! I'm excited to get listening! https://t.co/PzTgaMdoB1

Just finished John Turner's extraordinary biography of Joseph Smith from @yalepress - it is compelling, authoritative, and fair. https://t.co/iSMF9jyy8Z affiliate link

A friend was giving a talk and wanted to highlight some lesser known latter-day saints in church history, and I recommended @Orsonite's piece on Vienna Jaques (in his book, Fragments of Revelation https://t.co/XPGZLDshe9), and she used it and it was a big hit!

[Dave on faith @daveonfaith]

Here's the book https://t.co/6TycGYoP4t

[Dave on faith @daveonfaith]

In my church calling, colleagues & I were discussing just how much of our decisions were inspiration, and one former bishop expressed that if 5% is inspiration and 95% administrative expedience, we're doing okay.

I thought of this when I read this quote from @Orsonite's new book

[Chad Nielsen @Orsonite]

The cover!

I continue to be inspired and taught by Margaret Olsen Hemming and Fatimah Salleh's work in the third and final volume of their Book of Mormon for the Least of These (https://t.co/qIY1WyuUrZ).

My review on @TimesAndSeasons: https://t.co/BbeKw8AW67

[Dave on faith @daveonfaith]

@ImprovementEra I really enjoyed his biography of Brigham Young, and I enjoyed his Mormon Jesus even more. Looking forward to this one!

[Times and Seasons @timesandseasons]

@gboatman12 @ImprovementEra A review just went up at Times and Seasons:

Are the new sleeveless garments available yet in the USA and Europe? Any idea if they will be, or if sale will be restricted to warmer climes?

“Divine love never runs dry and we are each a cherished favorite,” said Elder Karl D. Hirst. #GeneralConference https://t.co/6LBupDCfbL

[Dave on faith @daveonfaith]

Nope. Right on time.

[The Cultural Hall @TheCulturalHall]

Too early to claim Elder Hirst's talk as the best one of this #GeneralConference? #LDSconf

[Dave on faith @daveonfaith]

I loved the story of simple and spontaneous service in his talk. I went through chemotherapy earlier this year and could see myself as that woman they served.

Elder Gregorio E. Casillas is from Mexico and was sustained as a General Authority Seventy in April of this year. Previously he worked as an area temple facilities manager. He's 49 years old. #GeneralConference #LDSconf #ElderCasillas

“The joy of the gospel is available to all: not just the happy, not just the downcast. Joy is our purpose, not the gift of our circumstances.” —Elder Karl D. Hirst #GeneralConference

The famous Heavenly Feather!

(Joking. In seriousness, I really liked this talk.)

[Latter-day Women Leaders @LDWomenLeaders]

"I invite you to pray to know Heavenly Feather is there, pray to grow to become like Him and pray to show His love to others." -Susan H. Porter

Loved this book!

[Paul Reeve @WPaulReeve]

If you haven't had a chance to read Let's Talk About Race and Priesthood yet because you were waiting for the Portuguese translation, no more excuses. It's now available in Portuguese.

I'm thrilled that @DeseretBook did this. Link is in the first comment.
