Today in the Bloggernacle: Interview with political party presidents at BYU

Currant Bush: Elder D. Todd Christofferson recounts “The Currant Bush” story by Elder Hugh B. Brown, beautifully illustrated (literally!) in the newest Mormon Messages about learning to recognize “The Will of God.” And as Elder Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve concludes, “All of us can meet God’s high expectations, however great or small our capacity and talent may be. Let us pray for his love-inspired correction.” Incredible!

BYU parties: In “Democrats vs. Republicans at Brigham Young University,” a reporter from the YouTube channel CampusCampaign interviewed both Debra Anderson, president of the College Republicans, and Ben Ader, president of the College Democrats, and asks about issues, Mitt Romney and more. Both presidents articulately discuss their positions. Click in!

Mutual theme: The 2013 Mutual Theme has been announced: “Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8; emphasis added).” Click in to learn more about it!
