This Easter, I've been thinking a lot about my best friend.
If you don't know Him yet, you should meet Him. He already knows and loves you. He is your big brother, your advocate, your friend, your companion, and your savior.
His name is Jesus Christ.

Tim Tebow as "Messiah" - Photoshopped into LDS Image
Can I just tell you how appalled I was when I saw this image in a recent article featured on Yahoo Sports?
The image featured in the article depicts a photoshopped Tim Tebow in place of the Messiah in a well known Mormon image "The Second Coming" by Harry Anderson. Whether this is intended as a fan image or a jest, the fact that either side would replace the Savior with Tim Tebow is offensive and unsettling. I know Tebow would be disgusted to see this as well. I just have to say it is a shame that our media mocks someone for being religious by also mocking the Savior. Sure, go ahead and make fun of Tebow for being overrated, cocky, and a bit self-righteous. But don't mock Christ and deface this beautiful piece of artwork that members of the church cherish.
It is a shame that being Christ-like or religious makes you an easy target of these kinds of blasphemous jokes. I would expect something like this from some dense fan or critic, but not from Yahoo! Sports.

The true meaning of Christmas
These two videos are incredible reminders that we need to remember the true meaning of Christmas and what it means to truly have Christmas spirit.
The first, a story about a young girl with true Christmas spirit who quietly teaches her preoccupied family the true meaning of Christmas.
The second features a small child who narrates the Nativity and suggests that people should show greater love to each other and thus, follow Christ's example. It is adorable.

Share the love :)
This is an amazing video that has a great message no matter what your faith may be.
So often I find myself getting wrapped up in the trivial stresses of daily life that I forget to focus on what is really important in life. This video is a happy reminder that what is most important are the relationships we have with others.
So share the love.
