'Something sacred happens every day' in early-morning seminary
Cathy Pickren is an early-morning seminary teacher — not a morning person.

When school resumes in the fall, however, she'll once again put in hours of daily lesson preparation, get by on five or six hours of sleep a night and arrive at the Laramie meetinghouse each weekday morning for the 6:15 a.m. class.
"Something sacred happens every day," she said. "It's so worth it."
