Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon use the phrase “tender mercies.” In my church, this phrase is often used to describe the simple, day-to-day blessings of the Lord—the moments when we are reminded that God is not only merciful at the Last Day, but every day, and that He is aware of and involved in the details of our lives. What are some of the tender mercies you have noticed recently?

Why the Church?
I've been asked many times why we need a church--"Why can't I just worship God personally and privately? Why do I need an organized religion to stand between me and God?" I don't think those are the right questions because I do believe that we can worship God personally and privately, and that an organized religion should not "stand between" us and God, however, I also believe that the Church is a necessary part of Christianity. Do you agree? If so, what does the Church give us that we couldn't get by ourselves?
