I strive to be a George Q kind of man.

A man who's wife or father or daughter or bishop or the Savior would say, "I knew I had but to call and here he is."

“We must not be guilty of such simplistic versions of Him that conveniently ignore teachings we find uncomfortable,” said President @HollandJeffreyR. #GeneralConference https://t.co/894caRItDF

After a meeting held at Waiehu, a blind man asked George Q for a healing blessing. He'd been blind for thirty years but began to mend from the moment George laid hands on his head.

The next morning he could see.

Happy Birthday to @NelsonRussellM, our living prophet!

In 2019 during an assignment in Jerusalem, I visited an upper room which may have been near the site where the Savior washed His Apostles’ feet prior to His Crucifixion. I was spiritually touched and thought of how He commanded His Apostles to love one another.

I recalled the Savior’s pleading Intercessory Prayer in our behalf. This prayer occurred in literally the closing hours of His mortal life as recorded in the Gospel of John. This prayer was directed to followers of Christ, including all of us.

In the Savior’s petition to His Father, He pleaded “that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us.” The Savior then continues, “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one” (John 17:21–22).

Oneness is what Christ prayed for prior to His betrayal and Crucifixion. Oneness with Christ and our Heavenly Father can be obtained through the Savior’s Atonement. The Lord’s saving mercy is not dependent on lineage, education, economic status, or race. It is based on being one with Christ and His commandments.

I am soon approaching my 100th birthday. One of the places where the Savior used the number 100 in the scriptures was the parable of the lost sheep. Though 99 of his flock were safely by his side, the shepherd went in search of the 1 who was lost.

At age 99, I have no need of physical gifts. But one spiritual offering that would brighten my life is for each of us to reach out to “the one” in our lives who may be feeling lost or alone.

Over the coming months I invite you to consider prayerfully: who do you know who may be discouraged? Who might you need to reconcile with or ask for forgiveness? Has one name been on your mind lately, though you haven’t quite known why? As you bring these questions to the Lord, He will inspire you to know how you can reach out and lift one who needs help.

What a beautiful example the Savior has shown us – that through each of us ministering to just one within our reach, we can spread the love of Jesus Christ throughout the world. #99plus1

“The intent of the Father’s great plan of happiness is your happiness, right here, right now, and in the eternities. It is not to prevent your happiness and cause you instead worry and fear.” - @PatrickKearon #GeneralConference

[Patrick Kearon @PatrickKearon]

Our loving Father oversaw the creation of this very earth for the express purpose of providing an opportunity for you and for me to have the stretching and refining experiences of mortality, the chance to use our God-given moral agency to choose Him, to learn, to grow, to make mistakes, to repent, to love God and our neighbor, and to one day return home to Him.

The intent of the Father’s great plan of happiness is your happiness, right here, right now and in the eternities. #GeneralConference

When Christ comes, He needs to recognize us not as nominal members but as thoroughly committed disciples. That is one of the lessons I have learned repeatedly this past year. #GeneralConference

This address strongly resonated with me.

“We too can have our own pillar of light — one ray at a time. And in the midst of that pillar, we too will find a loving Heavenly Father, calling us by name, pointing us to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and inviting us to ‘Hear Him!’” - #ElderDushku #GeneralConference

[Jeffrey R. Holland @HollandJeffreyR]

Against all odds, Jesus of Nazareth, the living Son of the living God, restored physical life where death had held sway and brought joyful, spiritual redemption out of sin, hellish darkness, and despair.

One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.

This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” (Mosiah 18:9) for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone. #BecauseofHim

I loved spending time with you during this evening’s worldwide discussion on discipleship for youth. I hope this year’s youth theme, “I Am a Disciple of Jesus Christ,” can remind us all to become more like the Savior.

Although effort and work are required to develop and grow, we can take comfort in knowing that discipleship is a work in progress—not something that happens all at once!

Jesus Christ is the perfect example for us to follow. Let us all strive to become more dedicated disciples this year.
