@FiredUpCoug Agreed with the changes.

I will say that as a July Bday, Brisket is more of a "Summer" meat to me.

[Booge @Booge11]

@alt_w_v_g Pretty soon your analyst is going to take over your position.

[Booge @Booge11]

@jaredadairbell Wait, don't you work in pharmaceutical sales or something???

[Booge @Booge11]

Yes. (In my third born sons voice)

[Kirk Rollins @nicoraytruth]

When Joseph fell at Carthage, the Saints were a leaderless people with a price on their heads, and by every law that governs such movements, this one should have ended there.

A movement built on a martyred founder scatters and dies; it is nearly a rule of nature.

This one did not die.

Brigham Young, a plainspoken carpenter from Vermont, stood up in the smoking ruin of everything the people had built, and by the sheer iron of his will he refused to let them come apart.

He did not inherit a kingdom.

He inherited a wound, and a target, and ten thousand terrified souls, and he picked them up and carried them out.

A thousand miles, on foot and by wagon, across rivers and plains and mountains, into a desert no one else on earth wanted, because it was the only ground far enough that the world might finally let his people live.

He planned the exodus like a general and shepherded it like a father.

He buried the dead along the trail and kept the living walking.

When he came through the last canyon and looked out over a valley of salt and sagebrush that any sane man would have called a graveyard, he did not flinch and he did not despair.

He said this is the place.

And then he did the most audacious thing any leader of this people has ever done since Moses. He told a starving, frostbitten, exhausted remnant to build.

There was no water where they needed it. No timber. No certainty the ground would yield a single season’s bread.

There was a killing winter, and crickets that came in black clouds to devour what little they dared to plant.

And into that emptiness Brigham spoke a civilization.

He pulled the rivers down out of the mountains in the first irrigation works the American West had ever seen. He laid out a city in clean squares with his own hand and his own eye. He planted across a thousand miles of wasteland an entire commonwealth of towns and farms and temples, not by accident, not by drift, but by deliberate design, as a sustained act of faith, because he believed God had given his people a place and it was his charge to make it bloom or die in the trying.

Brigham took the most worthless land on the map and commanded it to bring forth life, and it obeyed him, because behind the command was a faith that would not entertain the possibility of failure.

Understand what this means for you, sitting comfortable and well fed in a Church whose survival you have never once had to fight for.

Every blessing you take for granted rests on a foundation that hunted, half starved people laid with their bare hands under his direction.

The temples you walk into exist because Brigham would not let the building stop.

The very endurance of this Church, that it survived the decades when extermination was not a memory but a living and legal threat, is the work of his unbreakable conviction that God was not yet finished with this people.

Joseph was the seer who tore open the heavens.

Brigham was the lion who made certain there would still be a people left on the earth to receive what the heavens had poured out.

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

“Hence we say, that the Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard; it is founded in the wisdom of God. It is a heavenly banner; it is to all those who are privileged with the sweets of liberty, like the cooling shades and refreshing waters of a great rock in a thirsty and weary land. It is like a great tree under whose branches men from every clime can be shielded from the burning rays of the sun.”

-Joseph Smith Jr.

@ScottyGZone I get it, this sounds like something a serial killer would like, but try mixing them. You'll thank me later....

@Manhattva True, but when everyone votes, they check "yes" on all of the judges.

Always churn them over. Time in office equals corruption 9 times out of 10.

[Rep. Jack Kimble @RepJackKimble]

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

[Booge @Booge11]

@Manhattva I do like your terms, but I have a problem with it in general.

The people, the ones who are supposed to be in charge, have said they don't want it.

Our form of government is a joke.

[Booge @Booge11]

@DChadwickAuthor @ByuSome I also think the biggest issue I see here, is that elected officials aren't listening to the voice of the people.

Isn't that the whole point in how we are allegedly governed??

[Booge @Booge11]

@ThrillaRilla369

[Booge @Booge11]

@pnwguerrilla I love it.

My goal is to one day run a huge chicken operation and donate eggs to everyone!

I'm gonna take down the egg cartel!!!

[Booge @Booge11]

@superduperpen15 @_QuickFang @FiredUpCoug ☝️☝️HOA president that likes to dictate how others live.....

Not where I live. There are only HOAs or out in the country and I can't do the country thing for a few more years....

[Booge @Booge11]

@_QuickFang @FiredUpCoug Because HOAs exist and someone made that decision that affects another's property.

Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves

[Booge @Booge11]

@Manhattva Meh. I'm not saying I don't have an absolute testimony of the WOW, but this feels like the type of article where the "scientists" state something like "A glass of wine every night is good for you" when we all know that's nonsense.

[Booge @Booge11]

@FiredUpCoug They certainly CAN be life changing sacrifices.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing.

[Booge @Booge11]

@calvinfroedge You should have been there in the 90s.....

[Booge @Booge11]

@blueyandbandit @DevinD33 Agreed. But when one tries to be a good neighbor, but the other person assumes they are only doing it because they are the "project" there's not much to do.

[Booge @Booge11]

@DevinD33 I feel like in some cases we are damned if we do, and damned if we don't.

I've heard exmo say that she didn't want to be the project, so she hated it when people reached out even to just say hello......
