Power of music, trials and testimony

PianoGuys perform: “Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine. — Ludwig Van Beethoven” So begins the incredible new music video from ThePianoGuys that combines the greatness of Beethoven with the contemporary jive of OneRepublic. It about blew my socks off. And as a bonus, here is the vocal version with Tiffany Alvord. Let their music take you into an awesome weekend.

Seminary commemoration: I was hoping the video from the recent 100th anniversary of the Seminary Commemoration on YouTube would become available, and here it is on Mormon Messages! Click to view the story of President Henry B. Eyring’s mother attending one of the first seminary classes in “A Foundation of Faith: 100 Years of Seminary.” Enjoy!

Teaching trials: On Dec. 18, 2007, Daniel Hedlund found out he had cancer, three weeks after he married. In “Finding the Incredible: What Cancer and Trials Teach Us,” Daniel and his wife, Melanie, relate their story, through reading journals and reminiscing. Their testimonies absolutely shine though. Please watch and share.
