A Few Bright Spots on a Cold January Day

A few things that have made me particularly happy on this frosty day:

This lovely article at Patheos.com that gives theologically-grounded reasons we have children that I think most would agree with, regardless of one's specific doctrinal creed.

Two new video profiles on Mormon.org: first, Shawni Pothier which I helped produce, and Najia Pettit which I did not contribute to but love nonetheless.

And speaking of video: This riveting video of classical cellists colliding with Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. Love the range of acoustic instruments! Would love to see more of this type of exploration from the world's best instrumentalists....
