Every overpass in south Utah County looks like this. People lining up to pay their respects to the @SantaquinCity police officer killed in the line of duty this morning, as his ambulance and countless emergency vehicles proceed north on I 15.

After a two-and-a-half-year renovation, the Manti Utah Temple is now rededicated as a house of the Lord. A major part of the renovation included the restoration of sacred and historic murals that needed the expertise of a team of conservators to bring these paintings back to their original luster after decades.
Each mural, completed by renowned artists of the time, represents different historical settings: the earth’s creation, the Garden of Eden and the fallen world that evoke sacred reminders of spiritual progression to Latter-day Saints.
See the process of preservation and transformation of these priceless paintings.

Students at Payson High School, where "Footloose" was filmed, are on an all-out mission to have star Kevin Bacon attend their prom.
In a TODAY exclusive, @KayleeHartung reports on their viral campaign — and @kevinbacon's responds live!
Why did God create evil? A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
“Yes, sir,” replied the student.
The professor asked :
- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
- Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.
A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist?
— Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir, does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.
To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s absence of light.

@Varneyco Stumbled across Varney & Co many years ago and it very quickly became my absolute favorite show to watch! Varney is so smart, covers all the important issues of the day and is the most patriotic American from Britain I've ever seen! Love him and the show! Keep up the great work!
If your father is still alive , swing by and see him. Just give him a hug , tell him you love him. I miss my dad every single day and wish I could just swing by and give him a hug
On this day in 1988, a Def Leppard classic ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ was released in the US. It charted at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was also ranked number 2 on VH1’s “100 Greatest Songs of the 80s” in 2006. Blast it loud and pour some sugar! #PourSomeSugarOnMe
