How often do we take for granted the gift of the Holy Ghost? His influence and guidance is always there if we pay attention.

@cbreezephotos Nooooo

Toddler logic 101: You need to vehemently reject the sleep sack initially, because once mom and dad put you down for the night is when you can then make a sudden change of mind as a stall tactic to stay up a few minutes later. Then comes a drink of water and 27 more prayers.

Verse 20 is the epitome of X.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Best thing to do is create and raise a family in the gospel.

@ITalkOfChrist Great thoughts.

Today is one of those days of having to deal with incredible amounts of incompetence. But my wife & girls are on their way home so all is right.

@chrishardman I would buy this

[Colton @_coltonf_]

@BYUGuy87 That’s my thought. Clearly we needed change.

I'm sure a lot of behind the scenes happening that we don't see. I trust Kevin Young 🙏🏼

Coach Clements was my football coach my senior year in HS. Great man.

Former BYU QB Steve Clements joined @espnthefan to talk his time at BYU:

Q: Walk us through your path—why didn’t you play more at BYU?

Clements: I went to the University of Texas out of high school. Looking back, I followed my heart instead of my head. I was also recruited by Alabama—I probably would’ve gone there if I could do it again.

Texas was a run-heavy program, but they told me things would change. They didn’t. So I transferred to BYU—“Quarterback U”—Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Ty Detmer.

I had to sit out a year, then competed with John Walsh. There were a lot of factors—timing, injuries, competition. I got my first start at Hawaii and dislocated my shoulder in the third series.

The next year against Fresno State, I started, played well, but got pulled. Then John Walsh came in, then another quarterback got hot, and that was kind of it.

I did play in the bowl game in 1994 and had a touchdown against Notre Dame in ’93. But yeah—timing, injuries, and depth all played a role.

Q: Looking back, what did you gain most from BYU?

Clements: Honestly, I didn’t go to BYU just for football or the NFL. I’m a convert to the LDS faith—that became a huge part of my life.

The relationships I built, those have lasted way longer than football ever would have. That means more to me than making the NFL.

Would that have been nice? Sure. But what I gained is way more important.

Q: Do you see BYU athletics as a positive influence beyond sports?

Clements: Absolutely. Even for guys who aren’t members of the faith, they’re exposed to it—they see it up close. It changes perspectives.

Outside of Utah, people associate BYU with football and stereotypes. But when you’re actually around it, you see something different.

At the end of the day, it’s about being good to people. That’s not exclusive to any religion—just treat people right.

We don’t just serve those we already love; we come to love people as we serve them. -Elder Causse

Reminds me of: For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?

@jaredadairbell Incredibly nostalgic. Gordon B Hinckley is one of the best men to ever live.

It’s entirely possible this is the greatest performance of a Christian hymn ever recorded.

Lyrics:
Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still.
His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there
To the place only He could go.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.
He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad,
All the pain we would ever know.
While His friends were asleep, He fought to keep
His promise made long ago.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.
The hardest thing that ever was done,
The greatest pain that ever was known,
The biggest battle that ever was won—
This was done by Jesus!
The fight was won by Jesus!
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He gave His gift to me in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He gives His gift to me from Gethsemane.
