Two days ago, I had the privilege of watching my younger sister try on wedding dresses. As a somewhat indecisive person, I've never understood how the phrase "when you know, you know" is even possible. I thought we were going to be there awhile until she found the perfect dress, but boy was I wrong. My sister fell in love with the first dress she tried on. She did her due diligence and tried on a few more just in case, but none of them could compete with the first. It didn't come as a surprise for anyone that saw her in that dress. I knew she would choose it the moment I saw her in it. It was then that I realized "when you know, you know" is indeed possible.
Tell me: What have been some of your "when you know, you know" moments?
Will Utahns have to keep paying sales tax on food? It’s complicated
The Utah Legislature’s $400 million tax cut package included removing the state’s share of sales tax on food, but Utahns may have noticed that the state is still collecting a food sales tax.
Only the state's share of the tax would be lifted if voters approve an amendment to the Utah Constitution in November 2024. If voters approve it, the state's 1.75% portion of the 3% food sales tax would be lifted on Jan. 1, 2025. If voters fail to approve the amendment, the 3% tax will remain unchanged.
Last weekend, Latter-day Saints were reminded during the 193rd Annual General Conference to keep the true meaning of Easter at the center of their Easter celebrations. But that task can be difficult for parents.
“You want to give your kids a religious foundation, but also let them be kids. I don’t know how you square it all,” said the Rev. Burge, pastor of First Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, Illinois.
Here are five tips for parents on making Easter religiously significant and stress-free:
Follow your heart, not the crowd
Don’t let the Easter bunny steal the show
Prepare your kids for worship (and then prepare to field questions)
Focus on the themes of the Easter story, rather than the details
Sapporo, Japan, the former frontrunner to host the 2030 Winter Games, may be back in contention to host. The bid efforts are expected to resume if Sapporo Mayor Katsuhiro Akimoto wins reelection against two anti-Olympics candidates.
One of the mayoral candidates opposing Akimoto believes the money used to host the games should be spent on social welfare programs, health care and better snow removal instead.
The IOC has confirmed that they've had discussions with six regions about hosting, but they did not name the additional interested regions.
Salt Lake City is one of the bidders, but U.S. Olympic leaders would prefer if it hosted the 2034 Winter Games.
