As things in our lives are more and immediately distracting… our phones, apps, AI, and self-driving cars… the underlying relational degradation and quality of our lives and politics increasingly reflects that.

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

We ask God for everything, and in a very real sense, AI is about to give us that. And once again... we'll have more than we've ever had. And once we have it, then what will we do with it? Enjoy what you have while you still have it. Gratitude goes a long way to being happy.

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

We have a long history of asking for things, receiving them, misusing them, suffering the consequences, and blaming God for the fallout.
It’s not how AI will playout, it’s the kind of people we'll be when it does. The Jetsons... or the apocalypse.

"We are vulnerable, finite, dependent, relational, born into families, choose under constraint, love without omniscience, trust without certainty This is moral becoming Choice only exists where knowledge is partial, power is limited, outcomes uncertain, and relationships matter.”

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

We humans have shared vulnerabilities that compel us to have collaborative relationships and to be moral to be able to maintain them. To be successful, that’s what we brought in the past. To be successful we necessarily have to bring it to our future.

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

"AI is amplification.
If we are tribal, fearful, selfish, cynical, fragmented AI will magnify that.
If we are collaborative, moral, covenantal, relational, sacrificial AI will magnify that.
The future depends, as always, on the moral condition of the people wielding it." -Copilot

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
—Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.
—Maya Angelou

“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.”

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
—Maya Angelou

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak—from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak but to be strong in a way that the world may not understand.
—Gary E. Stevenson

Each individual…holds in his hands the peace of the world.
—John A. Widtsoe

[Michael Ward @MikeWardTweet]

With persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, and love unfeigned, kindness had done its quiet work deliberately building others up instead of tearing them down.
—Gary E. Stevenson

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Elon Musk: "They're doing the same thing to me that they did to Trump, which is, they're making it sound like if you kill me, you're a hero. What they're doing is evil."

Joe Rogan: "They're also doing the same thing where they're completely distorting who you are...people have Elon Derangement Syndrome."

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:20-21

[Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey]

Where you go to school does not matter.

[Joel Osteen @JoelOsteen]

The enemy would love for you to be a prisoner of doubt, a prisoner of shame, a prisoner of bitterness. You’re in the wrong prison. God wants to pay you back. Become a prisoner of hope. Listen to this message from Joel! "From Trouble to Double": https://t.co/KpspxxmnN3

[Dieter F. Uchtdorf @UchtdorfDF]

Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift, but receiving it is a conscious choice that requires a commitment of all our “might, mind and strength" (Moroni 10:32).

[David A. Bednar @BednarDavidA]

Three years after Joseph Smith’s miraculous vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ, he was visited by an angel named Moroni, who declared that God had a work for Joseph to do—including the translation of ancient records that we now know as the Book of Mormon.

[Victoria Osteen @VictoriaOsteen]

I get excited whenever I get a glimpse of the potential God has put inside of someone. We all have the capacity to grow and produce more than we’re producing right now. We can do more for God, for ourselves, for our families, and for others.
