A few days ago I read an excellent article that answered an "awkward Mitt Romney question" called, "A Brief Guide to "Mormon Underwear"." My husband and I both thought it was well done.
I also have the following FAQ: What are LDS Garments or Mormon Underwear?

Poll: Still Working on Your 2012 New Year's Resolutions?
Saturday January 21, 2012
"They" say it takes three weeks (21 days) to create a habit, but how long does it take to break a new habit? Since it's the 21st of January, today is a good day to reevaluate your 2012 New Year's Resolutions. How are you doing? Have you already lapsed off or are you still going strong?
Since I started my New Year's resolutions a few weeks early this year (technically I started last year) I've already had to reevaluate my goals. For example, I have a goal to run my first 5K (3 mile) race so I'm running three times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Like most people I started out strong, but at the end of my fourth week of running I didn't run on Saturday. Unfortunately, that made it hard to keep going, thus I didn't run the following Monday either. Fortunately, I reexamined my goal and reaffirmed that I did want to achieve it. I rededicated myself and got back on track (pun intended). At this pace I'm on the right road to creating a habit out of my new goal.
Of course, achieving a new goal is a challenge, but when we stick with the daily/weekly aspect of a goal at some point it turns into a habit. For example, I go to a kickboxing class every Tuesday and Friday. I don't have to think about it, I don't have to decide if I'm going to go or not, and I don't have to reevaluate my goal because it's a habit- I just go.

God's Laws: Blessings and Punishments
Wednesday January 18, 2012
Recently during my daily scripture study I was reading 2 Nephi chapter two (one of my favorite chapters) and read some words by the prophet Lehi that caused me to ponder God's laws. I envisioned a balanced scale which I sketched in my spiritual journal and then recreated in the picture shown here.
I found some related scriptures and excellent quotes in the Church's student institute manual for the Book of Mormon about God's laws which I've put together in this detailed article about God's Laws: Blessings and Punishments.
