My Great Idea: Back to School Breakfast
Mormon Life says: Getting back into the school year schedule after a summer of sleeping in and relaxing can be difficult—not only for kids, but for parents as well. By providing an early incentive a week before school, I’ve found beating the beginning-of-the-school-year blues can be fairly easy.

Word of Wisdom: The Pressure, Part 1

Whose ideas come closest to my own? What group or groups truly satisfy my needs?" Answers may not be that easy to come by, and that's why an understanding of group behavior and how it affects you is so important.
The Pressure, Part 1 Pressure. Is there anyone who doesn't have to put up with it? One way or another, and usually in lots of ways, we all get to feel the weight of the world on our...
TV or Not TV?
Mormon Life says: I'm going to make a challenge here-are you sure you want to keep reading? Here it comes. Ladies and gentlemen (please imagine a drum roll somewhere in the distance), I challenge you...wait...I challenge thee (it sounds more, you know, like a commandment), I challenge thee to fast from TV for a month! No TV, no movies, no videos!
If the television craze continues with the present level of programs, we are destined to have a nation of morons. -Daniel Marsh, President, Boston University Ooh, isn't that a good quote? " ....
Word of Wisdom: Stupid Rule or Cool?
Mormon Life says: How hard is it to be one of the few guys on the team who doesn't throw down a beer once in awhile? How does it feel to be labeled "close-minded," "too religious," or even "brainwashed by your parents" because you won't try just one cigarette...smoke just one bowl...take just one pill? There has to be a way to do what's right and still "fit in," right?
You Gotta Fight for the Right to Party You Gotta Fight For the Right to Party, at least that's what the Beastie Boys said. Is it true? And if so, is the right to party worth fighting for? ...
