Our world is becoming more and more visual and audio centered. We love to see and feel the spirits of those who are far removed from us and how they handle their lives. We YouTube, we FaceBook, we Email and we share abundantly. Now the Church of Jesus Christ has founded a site that feeds that hunger in flying colours.
Now and again we’ll find something in a talk, or a General Conference session that just rings so true that we want more of it. For me, the story of President Cook’s young woman’s purse hit home hard. I wrote my own little poem about it. Now there are hundreds of similar short stories, ideas and experiences put to stunning music and photography by the media department all at our fingertips.
The first video I happened upon was about the purpose of life. A young man named Isaiah shared his search and how he found something that changed his life.
