@Utah_Football I am BEGGING you to retire the Moment of Loudness or at least celebrate it at a different point during the game (coming from someone who has a loved one shown on the screen). It's killing vibes at a critical time during the game. See @BYUfootball for suggestions.
Kirk Herbstreit: “For the people around the country that watch BYU play football, what do they maybe not fully appreciate about the program and what it kind of stands for?”
Kalani Sitake: “Well, I think it goes back to LaVell Edwards, and I'd be a fool if I didn't do it the way he did it, he's BYU. He's the father of BYU football. He helped change the game, and he did it with a lot of humility and grace, and he did it with a lot of faith. And so, we are a faith-based institution, and we represent the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and it just shows that shows that the gospel of Jesus Christ works in many things, works in business, works at home, definitely works in football, and we're making it happen.”

More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness. https://t.co/g3TG6MnS2J
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

#SundayThought
As Mary Magdalene and her companions mournfully approached the Garden Tomb, two angels appeared to them and shared the clarion call of all Christianity:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"He is not here, but is risen" (Luke 24:5-6).
This Easter season we also joyfully testify of this same eternal truth—Jesus Christ is risen. He lives!
The Savior of the world was crucified and, on the third day, rose from the dead, "the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20). His Resurrection allows all to be resurrected, and through His grace, we can find peace "which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7) and "be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:32).
We invite each of you during this Easter season to "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written" (Ether 12:41). As you do so, we testify that your Easter celebrations can strengthen your own faith and testimony that "death is conquered; man is free. Christ has won the victory" ("He Is Risen!" Hymns, no. 199).
