By Howard Lemmon As I looked at her, something remarkable happened to me. I did not simply see a woman hanging up laundry on a clothes line. I felt a desire deep in my soul to offer a prayer to God for her. In April of 1976, after serving in Elmhurst, Illinois for the first three months of my mission, I got a call from president Christiansen. He told me that I was being transferred to Downers

By Nick Sidwell They tell me that I am nice now, but they remember when I said “this about their shoes” or “that about their school picture.”When my best friend, Sarah, and I got married in the temple, the sealer compared our life ahead to a great journey down a long road, our destination being returning to our Father in Heaven. I remember him saying, “There will be bumps and potholes but also

By Kristina Haws If someone was trying to kill you, would you just stick around and see what happens? We all have inside of us a gift given to us by Heavenly Father: the ability to create life. Our loving Heavenly Father wants us to know how precious and sacred this gift really is. President Ezra Taft Benson said, "Guard your virtue as you would your very life." So if someone was trying to kill

By Leah Higginbotham Every evening, Dylan and I sat together, hand in hand, watching and reciting the Seinfeld episode we'd seen at least eleven times by now.The cool glow of the television washed over us, transfixing our minds and erasing all competing thoughts in one flicker. It was our comforting, secure little ritual. There is so little you can really depend on in life. But Fox news at nine,

By Howard Lemmon “It was one of the most incredible things that has ever happened to me in my entire life... I was literally lifted out of the water and placed there!”I am driving my car down Interstate 40 through Nashville, Tennessee returning from our overnight canoe trip. The Boy Scouts in the back of my car are sound asleep at 4:00 P.M. It was an exhausting trip. But as I drive down the

By Kristina Haws All of us have someone we look up to; someone we might call a hero. They may come in the form of a parent or a teacher, but others come from some of the most unlikley of canidates. One person who has made a big differance in my life is my dance teacher. She is a very fun person to be with and her personality reflects the ability to be understanding and helpful. She is dedicated

By Kristina Haws It seems like all we hear about in the paper and on TV are wars and conflicts covering the earth. Many times the effect is restlessness and fear. Now around Christmas time what we're thinking about is joy and peace. But where does that peace that people crave so much come from? It comes from the home. Ok, maybe you're thinking that your home is anything but peaceful sometimes,

By: K. A. Saundra A journey of the world has started, The climbing of a rocky way. Some may slip and fall to their knees, But from there they start to pray.                 “Oh Lord. Please help me.                 I've stumbled and wandered astray.                 Please lift and hold and guide me                 Along a more excellent way.” Behold the cry of one such girl Who fell and lost

by Kristina Haws Have you ever been to a dance where it seemed like everyone was standing on the wall? Sometimes during the fast songs most everyone is out on the floor but when a slow song starts all the boys seem to disappear. I've had both of these experiences. So why don't boys just ask you to dance? Do they not like you? Or are they just nervous? Well whatever the reason is, there is a

A Jen Magazine reader emailed this question: "I just wondered if you guys had any advice on getting friends, because I really am lacking in the department, and I think its because I have higher standards than a lot of people at school. Will you give me some suggestions?" Jen says: Wow, what a good question! I could give the usual answers like "be yourself" and stuff, but there is more to it

By Howard Lemmon As a young man I was a very poor reader. My comprehension was mediocre, but my reading speed was dismal. Being called upon to read a passage of scripture in church was always traumatic. I would often butcher it beyond recognition. In elementary school, I would be placed in reading groups with other kids who were likewise “challenged”. Taking turns reading aloud in the group

Now what? What's next for me? After graduating from high school, you face so many choices. It can be hard to figure out what's right for you. The academic world would have you strive for a degree that will lead to a fulfilling, well-paying full-time career. Our religious world stresses getting married and becoming a stay-at-home mom. In an ideal world you might see yourself becoming rich,

By Howard Lemmon In 1989, my father gave me a copy of the book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. It had already been on the New York Times best seller list, a place it would reside for a decade to come. It was written by Steven R. Covey, a notable member of the church and world renowned management guru. It is a great book that I still have and refer to frequently. A portion of the

By Howard Lemmon Grandma Lemmon was an eccentric character. Many stories are told and re-told about her by the family. Most of them are designed to poke fun at her. I do not pretend to be an expert on everything about Grandma Lemmon. My interaction with her during my youth was quite limited. I only know what I know about her, and as to those things, I am an expert. There were those times

I don't watch T.V... I used to be addicted to T.V. and would watch hours and hours a day. Watching things other people were doing! But then I realized if I wanted to do cool stuff I couldn't afford to waste time like that. Anyway, no show could possibly be good enough to outweigh all the lies they feed us. AAAAAAHH!!    SMASH YOUR TV!!!!
