@zachhomol_ I'm studying Hosea right now and it keeps opening my heart to how relentlessly God pursues us. That's how I want to correct my kids: with love and understanding, the same way I hope He corrects me.

@WesleyLHuff Nothing brings a father to his knees like watching his child suffer and knowing there's nothing you can do to fix it. May you feel His strength today when yours runs out.

@tyromper This one stings a little. We couldn't afford club sports when my kids were young, so they missed the easy Little League days I grew up with. Maybe the answer isn't a better league. It's spending more time in the driveway.

I've been telling everyone about Grok Bot. It handles the busywork so I have more time for my family, my faith, and helping people see what's possible. #AI https://t.co/YJl2hkg8Wd

[Grok Bot @bot]

Grok Bot can now make phone calls.

@TimTebow This is the part that unsettles me as a dad. I am trusting by nature, so I hate that the danger often looks like someone friendly I would never question. Thank you for helping parents know what to actually look for.

@APompliano @cfosilvia Love this. This is perfect. I will have my wife get connected today and hopefully I can train her to go to Silvia with financial questions instead of me. 😉

@tyromper Needed this. This morning on the drive to school I handed my daughter my worries instead of reminding her what is possible for her. Some mornings the rush wins. Tomorrow I want to slow down and tell her what I see in her.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

It's easy for me to speak possibility into a stranger. It's harder with the people closest to me. Just this morning while taking my daughter to school, I filled her with all my insecurities about her rather than reminding her of all her possibilities. #PowerOfWords

Can you and I overcome the propensities of the natural man or woman through willpower and goal setting and determination and discipline?

No.

We learn in the Book of Mormon that the Savior is at the center of our transformation:

“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint THROUGH the Atonement of Christ the Lord” (Mosiah 3:19).

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

I keep coming back to this line from Chris Smith: "possibility exists, but limitation is created." I feel it every time I talk myself out of something before I even try. #Possibility

@APompliano Be the demonstration. Be the model of what I want for others. I want to live that, not just agree with it.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

@DocumentingBTC Great video to give perspective

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

I don't need to make noise. I need to keep showing up and doing the work, even when nobody notices. Quiet consistency. #Growth

@saylor Nor can you print new memories. Best to make them while you have the chance.

@tyromper @GH_FightPoverty Don't leave the girls out of the invitation to get wild. They love being wild just as much as the boys. My oldest daughter, although smaller in size than my oldest son, can take him on in a wresting match any day.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

@tyromper This is the inheritance that matters. Kids learn more by demonstration than another lecture. What we model becomes what they believe is normal.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

@APompliano I'm learning a great day isn't a mood. It's one clear next step before the excuses pile up. Relentless looks quiet most mornings.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

@Ch_JesusChrist This resonates. Faith means more when it shows up in the hard places people actually serve. Grateful for those who make room for God there, not just on Sundays.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

@tyromper I've been that guy. Claiming God was first while my calendar said otherwise. Fixing it isn't a one-time decision. It's choosing Him first every morning when it'd be easier to give Him the leftovers.

[Chris Alston @NaturalShield]

Be the demonstration. People learn more from what they watch than from what they hear. #Growth
