Image by Andrew MartinEveryone has been there. You get invited to something that you absolutely do not want to attend – a holiday party, a family cookout, an expensive trip.

Does Heavenly Father show off? While I know He doesn’t, I couldn’t help but wonder that while sitting in the Tabernacle last month. This was the moment (see photo).

Through it all I’ve learned that almost all losses are temporary, and that much of my parental misery comes from my misunderstanding of redemptive labor.

As a college dean, I regularly observe campus controversies about the Israel-Hamas war, race relations and other hot-button issues. Many of these concern free speech – what students, faculty and invited speakers should and shouldn’t be allowed to say.
