What is Emotional Resilience
Personally, I struggle with feelings of anxiety and inadequacy, developed through past experiences and (if we’re being totally honest here) too many hours dedicated to magazines and the internet.

Lent and the Word of Wisdom
Doctrine and Covenants 89 was given in revelation to Joseph Smith on February 27, 1883 and has become a recognizable (if often misunderstood) feature of Latter Day Saint practice that sets us apart from the Protestant churches around us.
