When Families Aren’t Forever, Part 2
by Cindy Beck
Editor’s note: This is the second of a three-part series.
Not long ago, I addressed the issue of divorce among the Saints, and how it was more difficult for Latter-day Saints to cope because of our belief in eternal marriage. Time and the advent of a better relationship will eventually dull the emotional blow that divorce brings. However, until those two events happen, there are a few steps to take to help cope with the heartache.
We welcome your comments.

When Families Aren’t Forever, Part 1
The Emotional Issues in Divorce
by Cindy Beck
Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on divorce and how it affects members of the Church.
As Latter-day Saints we believe that marriage is for eternity, which makes divorce even more complicated and emotionally stressful than for most of the population. Whether you are in the process of separation/divorce, have been divorced for a while, or simply want to understand what a separated/divorced friend is going through, it helps to know the emotional issues involved when a temple marriage ends.
Whether it’s you or a loved one who’s been through a divorce, we all have experiences we can share that could make the burden lighter for someone else. Tell us about them in our comments section.

Think It and Become It
by Cindy Beck
If you want to cultivate a quality in yourself, visualize yourself talking and acting that way. For instance, if you want to be more patient, you might envision circumstances that would normally cause you to lose patience, and in your mind see yourself as being patient. If applied consistently, visualization works because you see yourself as if you’ve already accomplished the trait that you want to acquire—which causes you to become that type of person.
Have you used visualization or another technique to improve yourself or accomplish a goal? Leave a comment.

The Christmas of the Electric Blanket
by Cindy Beck
It was 1977, and we were students—poor as the desert soil around us which grew nothing but sagebrush and rattlesnakes. The rented house we lived in was old, with “central heat” from a furnace under the living room that blasted a column of air up through a grated, three-by-three hole in the floor. Not much of a heating system by today’s standards.

Gratitude for the Shepherd of the Flock
by Cindy Beck
We try to remember to show gratitude to parents, friends, and colleagues. However, as Latter-day Saints do we remember to thank our ward leaders—particularly our bishop?

To Become Like Ruth
by Cindy Beck
Two men are sitting on a park bench. One says to his buddy, “My mother-in-law is an angel.” His friend replies, “You’re lucky. Mine is still alive.”
When dating my husband, I assumed that jokes like that were a comedian’s stock-in-trade and held no basis in reality. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why I get along with Russ’s mom … I never went into the marriage viewing Mom as an enemy. The fact that we both loved the same man gave us common ground. (Well, that and a love of flowers!) (more…)
Helpful Hints: Avoiding Gossip

How do you tell the difference between gossip and sharing valuable information? Read to get our take, then share yours in the comments.
Have you ever started to mention something and then stopped because you were worried you might be gossiping? Or thought about telling a church leader information you’d heard but didn’t for fear he/she would think you were just spreading the latest rumor? Sometimes it’s hard to know if we should share that juicy tidbit that we heard through the grapevine, or let it shrivel and die like an old, wrinkly raisin.
The dictionary defines gossip as, “Idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others.” That doesn’t really explain it all, though, because sometimes it’s hard to know when a piece of information really is gossip, or if it’s a piece of info that should be shared.
Here’s a list of red flags to heed in order to avoid gossiping.
