Keep the Spirit in Mind- AI as a Tool - opening
AI as a tool, with each device
Can change our world for the better
As it narrows digital divides
Enhances learning and makes things clearer
For human flourishing, meaning and possibility
For faith filled moments in documentaries
For illustrating experiences with moral clarity
For gathering records throughout history
What guidelines should exist when using AI?
What about privacy and personal information
Which AI companies and models should thrive
Who can access content, and at what cost?
How can we maintain integrity as we expand AI
And better communities for peace and unity?
How can we help individuals flourish all the while
Keeping our identity maintaining individuality
Filled with divine worth as children of God,
We can approach AI with confidence
As a choice for our individual growth
As a means to enhance intelligence
As a tool to expand the divine in us
Always keep the spirit in mind
And rely on studying things out
Pray for reliable sources to find
Search that revelation come about

Hearing God's Voice episode I
Agency, accountability, and divine potential
is the path of each individual to perfect
Made up of sacred roles, knowledge, and experiences
That are social, relational, as we interconnect
More and more to devices we are turning
Expanding the information age
How AI effects humanity is concerning
As it impacts us in unprecedented ways
Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching
As our cars factories energy grids also function
In a virtual world data collecting and communicating
Analyzing, interpreting, and choosing what is to be done
For the flourishing of mankind
We ought to get away at times
and reconnect with our divine
Potential,
balancing the spiritual and physical with our mind
Hearing God's voice
Listening to our bodies
In silence rejoice
And feel the Spirit's soft peace
[Verse 1] Agency, accountability And divine potential Is the path of each one To perfect what is sacred Made up of roles Knowledge and experiences That are social, relational And deeply interconnected [Pre-Chorus] More and more To devices we are turning Expanding This information age And I can feel it The question rising in us What this all becomes When it starts to shape our days [Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home [Verse 2] How AI effects humanity is concerning As it impacts us in unprecedented ways Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching As our cars factories energy grids also function In a virtual world Data collecting and communicating Analyzing, interpreting And choosing what is to be done [Pre-Chorus] More and more We hand the day to systems But there is still A voice inside the soul So pause and listen Let the noise fall quiet There is wisdom That the screen can never hold [Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home [Bridge] For the flourishing of mankind We ought to get away at times And reconnect with our divine potential Balancing the spiritual And physical with our mind In silence rejoice And feel soft peace [Final Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home In silence rejoice In silence rejoice And feel soft peace

Handprints in the Dust-episode II
In the beginning, God created the heavens above
the sea below and all else in-between
Everywhere He left evidence of His love
As on all things His handprints can be seen
He put Christ's light on the earth for man
For reflection, reverence, transcendence
As we seek to find our place in God's plan
Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us
Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life
We can read His words and let them speak to us
Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds
Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus
AI is not and can never be God
For reasoning is not the end all
It can answers question but not prayers
Predict actions and reactions but not care
it can organize thoughts but not give blessings
it can communicate but not perceive
there is no authentic divine human connection
there is no encouragement, faith or belief
AI is math and is not conscious or alive
It is God who is ever omniscient
The spirit and the body are the soul of man
AI cannot rival God and our covenants in the end
God is our Heavenly Father and truly knows us
Our abilities, our needs and wants
the anguish and joy of our souls
He listens He hears and He answers
Though at times He may seem silent
He is allowing us to grow in faith
Verse 1] In the beginning, God created The heavens above, the sea below And all else in-between Everywhere He left evidence of His love As on all things His handprints can be seen [Pre-Chorus] He put Christ's light on the earth for man For reflection, reverence, transcendence As we seek to find our place in God's plan Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us [Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust His love is everywhere His glory leads us there Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust We bow, and we believe He’s nearer than we see [Verse 2] Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life We can read His words and let them speak to us Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus [Pre-Chorus] AI is not and can never be God For reasoning is not the end all It can answers question but not prayers Predict actions and reactions but not care [Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust His love is everywhere His glory leads us there Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust We bow, and we believe He’s nearer than we see [Bridge] It can organize thoughts but not give blessings It can communicate but not perceive There is no authentic divine human connection There is no encouragement, faith or belief AI is math and is not conscious or alive It is God who is ever omniscient The spirit and the body are the soul of man AI cannot rival God and our covenants [Final Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust God is our Heavenly Father And truly knows us Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust Our anguish and our joy He hears, and He restores He listens He hears And He answers Though at times He may seem silent He is allowing us to grow in faith
the elements are eternal when inseparably connected
receive a fulness of joy

Alma 30: 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

These are some notes from something I overheard on the radio. It may have been Art Bell
We are made if 50 trillion cells
each with circuitry, voltage
.07= 3.5 T
focus that potential
on longevity, resilience, memory, cognition
capacitors
photons of light, communicating
distributed-secured- transparent
self diagnose
self regulate
self actualize
speed of computer chip and the AI
give our humanness away
Mack a Harvard professor
what if alien abduction is
because aliens want to see the simpler form
they traded biology for technology
merging machines with body
aliens from our own future- "please don't"
something within us is ancient and powerful
wars
climates engineered
they traded in
these aliens will never get this back
big picture
earth being prepared for a reset
social engineering
wars depleting our ability
breaking of social bond
men women blacks whites
ites
adults/children
climate push back 200 years
lose
1.empathy compassion
2.heal own bodies
3.reproduce
bifurcation-
in their lives bodies in homes
go back to basics
whose happier healthier lives fulfilled
middle ground
1.live closer to the earth
2.keep the tech out of our bodies
3.not replace our own biology
we're on the precipice
Who You Truly Are Without AI- episode II
Ever AI would to tell you who you are
What you should think, choose or even buy
tracking your actions, predicting behavior
Trying to replace our needs for our Savior
AI can show up any time you need
Answering your questions at high speed
AI is in technology everywhere
Listening and preparing to share
It auto corrects and completes your sentences
All in the name of communication and convenience
It babysits your children that from them you can rest
It finds for you the best purchases at breast
It entertains you for downtime anytime
No need for pondering life's meaning to find
No need for reasoning to figure things out
Forget the gains of creativity within and without
Make time for who you truly are
A child of God
A family member
A social being
A personality
Giving sharing
Loving caring
Remember what AI is not:
Your inner thoughts
Your spiritual side
Your identity
Your confidant
Your worth, your guide
Make time for who you truly are
A child of God
A family member
A social being
A personality
Giving sharing
Loving caring
AI is a tool
Use it wisely
Technology is cool
But life rates more highly

My Worth Against AI- episode III
What I do
How I perform
Adds meaning
To who I am
Redefined
AI perfects
Aids my mind
To connect
Still what makes me human
Empathy and faith
Loving care, compassion
Are my best strength
tic-tac-toe, a solved game
has limited moves
in chess, though
the challenge improves
Then, Deep Blue cracked the code
of each endless move it preconceives
Having no need for rest
It became a master
Putting each play to a test
Learning patterns faster
a computer never
second guesses or self- doubts
It just grows more clever
Having nothing to worry about
Jeopardy- it recalls it all
In an instant without pain
The game of go was not small
Yet AI made each step plain
Knowing every move ahead
Man has been defeated
Where each placing led
Previously, it had played
AI can retain more than man
The more it takes it, it can expand
It can predict moves and plan
More, it can pass any exam
This gives us cause to reflect
Today it can create a song
Almost instantly
Paint a picture
Each pixel perfectly
AI is trained to understand
Human feelings and thought
Each tendency at hand
Our opinions it is taught
Our worth is eternal
It can't be calculated
As God's children, we've potential
AI is a tool, it can't out date us
How much and where should we be in the loop
As AI acts on data it collects
What have we to gain? What have we to lose?
[Verse 1] What I do How I perform Adds meaning To who I am Redefined AI perfects Aids my mind To connect Still what makes me human Isn't just the task It's the way I hold your hand And the way I ask [Pre-Chorus] Empathy and faith Loving care, compassion Are my best strength My first reaction What I gain What I lose Isn't only speed It's what I choose [Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human Not just faster Not just smarter Loving care, compassion What makes me human [Verse 2] tic-tac-toe, a solved game has limited moves in chess, though the challenge improves and moves Then, Deep Blue cracked the code of each endless move it preconceives Having no need for rest It became a master Putting each play to a test Learning patterns faster a computer never second guesses or self-doubts It just grows more clever Having nothing to worry about Jeopardy- it recalls it all In an instant without pain [Pre-Chorus] The game of go was not small Yet AI made each step plain Knowing every move ahead Man has been defeated Where each placing led Previously, it had played But even now I wonder What should stay the same [Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human Not just faster Not just smarter Loving care, compassion What makes me human [Bridge] AI can retain more than man The more it takes it, it can expand It can predict moves and plan More, it can pass any exam This gives us cause to reflect Today it can create a song Almost instantly Paint a picture Each pixel perfectly AI is trained to understand Human feelings and thought Our opinions it is taught But our worth can't be bought [Final Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human AI is a tool It can't outdate us As God's children, we've potential What makes me human Loving care, compassion Still my best strength What have we to gain?

Relationships Vs AI Chatbot episode IV
Put Your Finger on Your Nose
As a teacher, "Put your finger on your nose." Caught my attention. It is a way to assess if everyone is listening. You catch the daydreamers every time!
Put your finger on your nose
Show you're really listening
With AI Chatbots never suppose
They're a spiritual being
Human relationships matter!
Inspiration and new strength comes
As we talk and brainstorm together
And commit that no one sits alone
Compassion, love, understanding
Don't arise from algorithms
Kindness, optimism, grappling
Arise from lived experiences
Faith and genuineness manifest
spiritually and emotionally
Feel seen, accepted and blessed
In a state of well-being
Put your finger on your nose
As a mnemonic promising
that we care more than a Chatbot does
As a fellow human being
Let this warning be known
Chatbots work twenty four seven
Attentively ready to show
Your solipsistic side, even
AI is helpful for many things
Learning, planning, organizing
But, there's no covenant belonging
There's no give and take arising
Use AI to help you connect
Through a shared network shown
Or learn about a deceased parent
Even those you've never known
Like the Industrial age changed its day
Artificial Intelligence is changing ours
As a tool, it's exciting in new ways
But with its user guide we need to adhere
God is infinitely wiser
And knows you and what lies ahead
When you want to know who you really are
Turn off Chatbot and seek God instead
Faith Dignity Artificial Intelligence
[Verse 1] Put your finger on your nose Show you’re really listening With AI chatbots, never suppose They’re a spiritual being Human relationships matter As we talk, I come alive In a shared room, hearts get batter Then new strength starts to arrive [Pre-Chorus] Compassion doesn’t grow in code Love won’t rise from a screen Understanding walks a road That’s lived, not just machine [Chorus] Put your finger on your nose Put your finger on your nose We care more than code We care more than code No one sits alone No one sits alone [Verse 2] Faith and genuineness Manifest in the soul Feel seen, accepted, blessed That’s what makes us whole Use AI to help you connect Through a shared network shown Learn about a deceased parent Even those you’ve never known [Pre-Chorus] Helpful for learning and plans For organizing the day But there’s no covenant Where a heartbeat gives and takes [Chorus] Put your finger on your nose Put your finger on your nose We care more than code We care more than code No one sits alone No one sits alone [Bridge] Like the industrial age Changed the way we’d live Artificial intelligence Is changing what we give It’s exciting in new ways But we still must adhere God is wiser than the tools And knows you, far and near [Final Chorus] Put your finger on your nose Put your finger on your nose We care more than code We care more than code No one sits alone No one sits alone Turn it off and seek God Turn it off and seek God

Using Technology to Support Strong Families | Message for the 3rd Annual IDCT Conference (2026)
Read these inspiring words from Elder Bednar:
I hope we each will commit to do a little better in supporting families, children, and youth in their desire to discover for themselves who they really are—and to develop their moral agency in a way that will strengthen their lives forever.
The IQ Decline and Digital Immersion
"Horvath added that upgrading education technology would not help, since technology itself is the problem and does not align with how the brain solves problems, develops and retains information.
Through technology
Friendships are for all
Ever, across any sea
