"BYU Cougars’ game against the Cincinnati Bearcats took a somber turn as troubling fan behavior overshadowed the action on the field. Survivors of the recent Grand Blanc, Michigan church shooting—BYU alumni Jared and Brandy Hicken—attended the matchup hoping to reclaim some sense of normalcy with their family after enduring an unimaginable tragedy. Instead, they faced an oft-repeated “F the Mormons” chant..."
To quote my 11 year old niece who is not a Latter-day Saint;
"That's diabolical. I would just leave and not care what I paid for tge tickets!"
"Sister Kristen M. Oaks is the wife of President Dallin H. Oaks, recently set-apart President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her life has been a record of shifting roles and accepted opportunities to serve as a wife, member of the Church and daughter of God. She joins this episode of the Church News podcast to speak again with guest host Sheri Dew..."
It is in the now
That you see the far reaches
As time then allows
For what the crowd never teaches
It is in the now
At the bottom of the list
That this truth does show
And that is why I persist
I love to know the remote areas that my poems reach. They never show up in the 7 day data or even in the 24 hours. It is always in the now! I marvel that Singapore and Hong Kong continue to be my top countries.
Gain capacity

The Church just lowered the age to 18!
Beyond the limits

Prophets have visions!
They are the real deal!
In my mind, I keep hearing that the experience
of forming the first Presidency and the president of
Quorum of the 12 was transcendent. It must have
been incredible!

The Internet's been disinformationed
And this is more dangerous than one thinks
For untruths never stay at one site, stationed
But travel the world through a series of links
It is hard to retract disinformation! People talk about AI being a threat as it becomes hard to know what's real. Is AI capable of unraveling disinformation? Will we next create something that unravels disinformation and AI to its origins? Do I even know 🤔 what I'm talking about?
Increasingly, we need to have the power of discernment and go back to old fashioned learning: line upon line- and discover truth for ourselves, through discovery!
Imagine our founding fathers struggling to create a document detailing our freedoms.
We hold these truths to be self evident....
Those inspired words came through a process after the labor of combined thought.
"When American Founder Benjamin Franklin edited Thomas Jefferson’s rough draft of the United States’ Declaration of Independence, he changed the wording of one important phrase from “We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable” to “We hold these truths to be self-evident.” The notion of “self-evident” truth is the idea that some truths do not require complex reasoning or evidence to prove. Such truths are simply understood by basic, original evidence and man’s innate moral or common sense. They are often called “first principles” upon which other truths and arguments are based. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 conveys the principle of self-evident truth in stating, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This principle of self-evident truth contributes to the American understanding of and justification for a Creator God, the Law of Nature, and the equality and natural rights of mankind. While self-evident truth may hold value from a purely secular, scientific and rational standpoint"
None are excluded
From the reach of God's hands
Come. Feel included
He KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS!
Imagine all the joy
When you turn to Him
And pledge your dedication
Where would I be
Without the Book of Mormon?
So easy to read
I know it was written for man!
It is just what I need!
Such words for our day!
It forewarns us of pride
Which gets n the way
Of feeling close to Christ!
And His love for us, always!

"Your testimony will be a “well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life.” It will be an anchor and a motivator, and it will sustain you through difficult times. It will enable you to develop spiritual gifts. It will help you in your personal ministry and service. It will be a weapon against Satan and your adversaries. Your testimony will be a joy as you see it replicated in your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and in those you love and serve. It will be powerful when you share it and use it to testify." Source of inspiration: Kevin G. Brown -

How I feel your pain!
It's personal
When control, can't be gained!
They thrash about. They attack!
We want to scream, "Enough!"
One step forward, one step back
Being the adult is tough!
I feel for all who care
Their moods are everywhere
And they know how skin bleeds!
But, then...a light goes on
In the depths of a soul
The love! The joy! The bond!
And you prize, you've this role!
Let daily repentance
Helps you to grow
To envelop you and
Keep you aglow
Wherever you go
Clean...to both feel and know:
Sin is a part life
A test to find your best
Daily repent. Try.
Have faith. You'll be blessed!
The smallest things
Can beat you up
Repentance brings
Hope...you're enough
That troubling weakness
May follow you, all of your days
There, causing meakness...
For acknowledging always, it's Christ Who saves!

Revelation’s true Bright Morning Star exposes counterfeit illumination
Even a prophet
Receives line upon line
For the saints. Often
After prayers...at bed time
This was true of President Nelson. He and his wife had an understanding and she or he left the toom as he received and recorded revelation.
