One of our favorite Easter decorations is this Resurrection puzzle I bought a couple of years ago.I love how it is simple, focused on Christ, and tells the story of that miraculous Easter morning through the figures.

The Power of Mothers and Babies

I am drawn to simple, yet profound statements: one sentence sermons that make me think and stew and ponder. Perhaps this is why, in looking over my notes from General Conference, Elder Robert C.
