Quote I shared in my Sunday School lesson today that I think is so needed for our day. President Spencer W. Kimball said, “The burning bushes, the smoking mountains, the sheets of four-footed beasts, the Cumorahs, and the Kirtlands were realities; but they were the exceptions. The great volume of revelation came to Moses and to Joseph and comes to today’s prophet in the less spectacular way that of deep impressions, without spectacle or glamour or dramatic events.  Always expecting the spectacular, many will miss entirely the constant flow of revealed communication.”

“In times of war and extreme polarization, sport is one of the few things that brings us closer together.” “Let us pray this June that sport may be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that it may promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.” - Pope Leo XIV

I’m convinced if members understood our story, they’d have most of their questions answered and far fewer would walk away from their faith. This article is my attempt to tell it. rsc.byu.edu/vol-27-no-1-2026…

Winter Quarters, Nebraska. They didn’t endure because it was easy. They stayed because it was true. Their faith is of the thousands of reasons I will never walk away.

Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech: He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played. Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points. His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one. This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis. Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.

"Once we make a covenant with God, we leave neutral ground forever. God will not abandon His relationship with those who have forged such a bond with Him. In fact, all those who have made a covenant with God have access to a special kind of love and mercy." - Russell M. Nelson One of my favorite quotes ever. Leave the neutral ground by making covenants with your Father in Heaven. You will never regret it.

Well, after 6 years of serving, I was released today from my calling as a Deacons Quorum Advisor. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding calling. This is the Lords restored Church and it is true

I feel to shout from the X rooftops that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet whom the Lord raised up and ordained, and to whom he gave keys and power to build up the kingdom of God on earth. I don't worship Joseph, but I love him and esteem him highly. My life has been blessed beyond measure, and I am so much closer to my Savior, because of the light and knowledge that was restored by God to the world through him. Joseph doesn't need me to defend him, but I will do so until my dying breath. Praise to the man!

“[Our smartphones] need to be our servants, not our masters. For example, if … you share inspiring thoughts from [your meetings], your smartphone is a servant. If you randomly surf the Internet, your smartphone is a master.” - Elder M. Russell Ballard
