@calvinjburke 40+ yrs ago as an MTC instructor I heard a GA (I think it was Elder Hanks) explain to all present that plans existed to set aside portions of each Stk Center for vicarious work for the dead. Would have been 1977-78 time frame.

Arm to the square, it happened.

@amesflames This story SO pisses me off, makes me want to scream from the rooftops how terrible this employee treated you and how much she needs to be fired.

@tstevensmedia @sltrib Utah’s and the @sltrib’s loss. Utahns as well.

Good luck in AZ.

@KeriGagnon2 Sooooooo sorry for your loss. Thoughts & prayers on their way to you.

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@KGrahamSports: For this coming Tues. I wanna write a feature on the Biz side of being the No. 2 player selected in the NFL Draft, w/a slant on becoming a NY Jet. And not only are you a BIG Jets fan, but you’re also “in the Biz.”

So ... whaddya think? You game?

@KGrahamSports: Hey, KG—In light of the likelihood that Zach Wilson will effectively become a NY Jet tomorrow night, can I interview you about the Jets & Zach’s likely prospects there? This is Poppa P from SLC & I currently write/publish “Deseret Business Watch” 2X/week.

@missmadiejean At a minimum, your very heartfelt thread has taught me to be more in the moment w/every person I serve & not caught in some rote approach. So for that, Thank You, immensely.

Such openness & vulnerability has truly touched me. 🙏🙏🙏 /Fin

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean Rather I share this bc I suspect this is quite common in the church: No one ever taught “them” — This is who the HG is, this is how he works, & what you’re feeling/experiencing now is, in fact, the HG.

Anyway, sorry that your chat w/your Bish was less than satisfying. 😢 9/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean Turns out he’d never been taught, 1-on-1 how the HG works or had anyone beat witness to him that what he was feeling/experiencing was a witness of the HG.

I don’t share this ‘cause I feel this is your situation, as that would be very presumptuous & I don’t know. 7/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean This is fresh in my mind bc a young man replied “I don’t know what that means” when he was asked, “Do you believe in God the Eternal Father; and in His Son, Jesus Christ; and in the Holy Ghost?” during a recommend interview last week. 6/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean So...I would suggest a foundational approach instead, to ask “Do I even know God exists? And if so, what is my relationship with God? LDS teaching say ‘I am a child of God.’ Okay, what does that really mean?” The answers to all questions start there, as simple as that sounds. 5/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean Esp. when “burning in the bosom” is so inexact; same w/ “I will tell you in your mind & heart.” Took 3 solid weeks of study till understanding came & even then, it was like stepping off a cliff the first time I truly “acted” in faith during a missionary discussion. 4/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean My sense is that only in/through the Holy Ghost can spiritual matters/challenges be resolved. Was one of my biggest challenges in the mission field: who is He? How does He communicate to me? How will I know if/when I am receiving an answer? 3/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean May seem off-topic, but it’s not. I’m a newly called, 1st-time 65yo Bishopric member (7 wks now). And it’s already clear to me that many members struggle w/the teachings/practices of the church, let alone doctrinal matters, esp when we have imperfect leaders. 2/

[Deseret Business Watch (produced by David Politis) @DeseretBizWatch]

@missmadiejean Maddie Jean: 280 characters in an impersonal yet public tweet is not really a great venue for an in-depth discussion about the church & gospel & one’s relationship with both. But rt now I’m mostly curious about your relationship w/the Holy Ghost. 1/

Ok #Utah Twitter, can you name the Top 10 Sports Businesses in the state? Obviously the @utahjazz are No. 1; but what about 2-10?

@AllisonCroghan Lolz — got a single J&J shot the day the FDA pushed pause on J&J vaccines, and felt great on Day One. Day Two? Not so much; just like a general Flu Bug, with general tiredness & achiness all over.

But then? No problemo.

Hope you’re doing better today.
