My wife rn. Literally skinning a deer on my fricken kitchen floor. 😂😂 🦌

[Jeffrey R. Holland @HollandJeffreyR]

Most of you will know that my wife Pat passed away last July with complications from Covid and other respiratory problems. I am brokenhearted and lonely, but that is the price we pay for love in the world. I look forward to rejoining her.

But the wonder of life goes on, including for these two great-grandchildren who, with our other family members, were the delight of Pat's life. Her passing and their arrival are a reminder that both birth and death are a part of the Savior’s plan of happiness. I dearly, deeply miss Pat, but I am grateful for a new generation in our family. This is why we speak of family so much in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for, as President Russell M. Nelson has said, salvation is an individual experience, but exaltation is a family experience.

I bear witness of the beauty of this plan and that all is well if we live for its promises. I am trying to live worthily of those promises and the trust that those living on Pat's side of the veil have in those of us who have access to the temple where so many of those promises are revealed.

I recently celebrated my 99th birthday and thus commenced my 100th year of living. I am often asked the secret to living so long. A better question would be, “What have I learned in nearly a century of living?”
I have learned that Heavenly Father’s plan for us is fabulous, that what we do in this life really matters, and that the Savior’s Atonement is what makes our Father’s plan possible.
Here is the great news of God’s plan: The very things that will make your mortal life the best it can be are exactly the same things that will make your life throughout all eternity the best it can be!

Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import. Far too many people live as though this life is all there is. However, your choices today will determine three things: where you will live throughout eternity, the kind of body with which you will be resurrected, and those with whom you will live forever. So, think celestial.

When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view—an eternal view. Put Jesus Christ first, because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and in His Atonement. It is also dependent upon your obedience to His laws. Obedience paves the way for a joyful life for you today and a grand, eternal reward tomorrow.

When you are confronted with a dilemma, think celestial! When tested by temptation, think celestial! When life or loved ones let you down, think celestial! When someone dies “prematurely,” think celestial. When someone lingers with a devastating illness, think celestial. When the pressures of life crowd in upon you, think celestial! As you recover from an accident or injury, think celestial!

As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change. You will want to pray more often and more sincerely. The Lord’s perspective transcends your mortal wisdom. His response to your prayers may surprise you and will help you to think celestial. #GeneralConference

I know this is a lie, as a questioning LDS member myself, I feel I have received an outpouring of love and support from members in my life and here on X and it’s been inspiring me to return.

Triple trouble with these brown phase black bear cubs. Don't you worry the mom is out of frame about to attempt a camera trap readjustment.

[Petros Chrysafis @pchrysafis]

The set is all dialed in! Hoping for some shots of more animals braving the crossing once the water calms down a smidge.

Search the Book of Mormon and the words of the living prophets every day, every day, every day! It’s the key to spiritual survival and avoiding deception. Without it, we are spiritually lost.

[Utah Fire Info @UtahWildfire]

Today, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, San Juan and Grand Counties are under Red Flag Warnings. The fire danger is high due to hot temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds. Use caution and avoid activities that could cause sparks near dry vegetation.

“I fear that some know just enough about the gospel to feel guilty…but not enough about the Atonement to feel the peace & strength it affords us.”—Sheri Dew

Just enough to feel guilt, not enough to feel redeemed. Satan’s sweet spot. The answer is not less Christ, but more.
