If you are a stressed-out church leader, or just a stressed-out person in general, I suggest you listen to Timothy Farnes' GC talk on repeat.

The conservatives who said:

1) The war in Iran is catastrophically stupid

2) Affordability is a real problem

3) America First

Were exactly right on every point.

As your president, I pray for what our Heavenly Father wants for each of us—to be active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, proceeding forward on the covenant path into the eternities. 

We need one another’s prayers. I feel the positive effect of your prayers. I am thankful, and I love you.

@StStymie @Latterdaytruth Principles are repeated by multiple apostles. (Thus, why he quoted Hinkley.)

However, it has been a while since I have drank one and I wouldn't drink any going forward.

There is such excitement when a PR comes.
But, consistency is such a powerful tool.
Great reminder to me to enjoy my son's journey!

Take a moment to enjoy this.

Coaches, if your athletes raced to their potential this week.
Athletes, if you raced to your potential this week.
Parents, if you got to watch your kid compete.

All of it is special. Don't rush past it.

[Ronald A. Rasband @RonaldARasband]

Many of our hearts ache for loved ones who have stepped away from obedience to God’s laws.

In our grief, we continuously ponder the whys, hows, and what ifs. We feel we have failed. We preach, teach, and invite—but often to no avail.

By divine design, brothers and sisters, everyone must choose for themselves to follow Jesus Christ.

I ask you to turn over to Jesus Christ your despair for those wayward souls.

We cannot change their hearts, but He can; He is a God of miracles.

Our Savior has already paid for the sins and errant choices of all of God’s children, including those for whom you and I grieve. He knows them. He knows their hearts; He loves them. He gave His very life to bring them home, all the way home.

By the power of Jesus Christ’s Atonement, there is always a way back!

In the vernacular, the Savior says to all who grieve, “I’ve got this!”

Never, never, give up on those you love.

Remember Jesus Christ is the answer. He is, always has been, and always will be.

Trust Him. He’s got this!

Jesus Christ lives and loves to lift.

As a teen learning to fly a two-seat glider, I learned the crucial skill in gliding is finding rising air, otherwise known as “lift.” You cannot see it, but you can see what it does.

Just as there is rising air, there is sinking air, called “sink.” It likewise cannot be seen, but it can be felt, and I quickly learned to avoid it.

During my journey of faith, I recognised that the principles of gliding I had learned in my teens have significant similarities with spiritual principles: We must avoid sink and find lift.

Spiritual lift cannot be seen or touched, but as we learn to discern and act upon the sensitive impressions of the Holy Spirit, we can feel it—as surely as I felt the rising air lift a wing beneath me.

When we first experience lift, it is wondrous. We may feel a soul-expanding lightness of being unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.

Pay close attention to the sweet, peaceful feelings that come when you choose spiritual lift, the rising forces that bring you into the Saviour’s loving upward pull.

Likewise, pay attention to the dim and dampening feelings that lead away from the Redeemer and His infinite love.

We can learn to live in spiritual lift. And when we sink, our gentle Saviour is there to lift us up as we turn to Him.

Your Saviour is your lift. He is your ever-rising air. There is no limit to how high you can climb with Him.

Welcome to General Conference.

In the Conference Center, a new statue titled Christ Visits the Americas, by sculptor Michael Hall, portrays the moment the Savior first appears to the people, as told in 3 Nephi 11.

In that account, God the Father introduces His Son, Jesus Christ:
"Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him."

Today and tomorrow, you're invited to do just that. Through messages delivered by prophets, apostles, and other inspired leaders, General Conference provides an opportunity for you to hear God's voice—wherever you are.

Conference begins at 10 a.m. MT. Watch on https://t.co/xKCj6L1iHH.

@ATrueMillennial @BednarDavidA One of my notes was, "What does this mean?"
In other words, I need to reflect on this more.

[Clark G. Gilbert @ClarkG_Gilbert]

The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to “Come home.”

Feeling we don’t belong, struggling with doubts, or being limited by traditions are just a few of the reasons we don’t immediately find our way home. But even as societal pressures pull people away from faith, life’s deeper questions don’t go away.

Only Jesus Christ can fully restore that light and joy into your life. We all struggle and need patience, service, and love from each other. To those who are trying to help, hold on to truth and keep your covenants. To those who are struggling, know you are loved and the Savior is calling you home.

I witness that Christ is our Redeemer. When we fall short, He repairs the breaches in our lives. The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to come home. Come home. #GeneralConference

The freshman who got me most fired up last night didn't qualify for anything.

He ran the 800.
He didn't qualify.
Wasn't even close.

But me and my assistant coach were standing on the infield losing our minds.

Because this kid stands on the gas from the gun. Every single time.

He doesn't know how to do it any other way.

He's not very good yet. He knows it. We know it.
But the way he competes?

It's like he doesn't care what the clock says. He just wants to race.

My assistant looked at me after.
"Man, I wish I could bottle that."

So many kids are afraid to try. Afraid to look like they care. Afraid to hurt.

This kid doesn't have any of that in him.

He just goes.

Watching him compete made us more fired up than anything else that happened all night.

The road to redemption began with “hosanna.” As we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, may our hearts welcome Him this Easter season.

Just wondering if like the rest of the world Broncos fans can screen grab a play that impacted the result of the game and their shot at a SB. Call this- it’s a safety- game blouses- no OT, no questionable INT, no DPIs to debate. No Jarrett Stidham time. IJS 🤷🏽‍♀️

This was a brutal missed hold on the 3rd and 10 play. Prob saved Buffalo’s season
