@chloewoods2022@maistomedia I don't have any empathy for the exact decision they made or the fact that they made it public. I do have empathy for any parent who has to make that decision even if I disagree with the decision they made.
@CAustinCox Honestly, the reason Boise State never got the invite is their football team is the only thing that is close to being p5 level. Other sports are not close, academics are not super strong. Outside of Boise they are a novelty and unless they are really good they don't draw eyeballs
@amesflames I love jimmer. But it was correct for him to not be drafted until 10 honestly, looking back at it he probably should have been drafted later, if he came out today he'd be at top five picks and would have a long NBA career. Awards are great, but you don't draft awards.
Too many elders quorum presidents try to do everything themselves. They don’t understand or not comfortable delegating. Delegate, get more quorum members involved.
My Elder Quorum President submitted request for release today.
He’s been in position about a year. We are still missing one counselor that quit.
Just me (Secretary) and a First Counselor left standing going into the busy Stake Conference, General Conference, scheduled activities & responsibilities season. Send help. 🙏
I don’t understand why my ward has such a challenge with men in the EQ presidency. Constant turnover and lack of engagement.
Is this normal in your ward? An issue of church or part of the overall problems with men checking out, feeling overwhelmed, and failing to take on leadership?
I’ve been secretary for over three years and being a four year convert, I’ve been really surprised by this. There was stability in the four years I investigated before (and during) the pandemic. But something broke and it’s been chaos and disorder since.
I don’t know how to help it tbh. I can only continue to pray. I feel broken most of the time and only find footing by putting myself into my calling more and seeking guidance in my own life through service in others.
One thing I notice, that’s changed since, is that these presidencies either by choice or by lack of willingness in our quorum, do not have any delegation callings. No service, activities, ministering, or anything else, callings in support. It’s just been us. Trying to do it all. Since I was called and a few presidencies.
Previously, when I was first baptized, I know the presidency called other sub-callings to support the presidency on these things. I was part of the service committee. These kind of callings have been nonexistent since the pandemic was over. I don’t know if it’s been a choice or a lack of quorum support. But it does make the weight of a presidency that much heavier.
@TheBYUFlash I have no problem with the beards, But I think it’s a really petty thing that people get all worked up about. I’ve heard of some people not attending BYU because of the beard issue or other people wanting to organize some sort of protest. Which is pointless..
@scottmgower Honestly neither party represents how I feel as a member of the LDS church. Nor should they. How you feel politically should not be completely determined by your faith.
@TheMontyShow I connect through the Salt Lake City Airport every week and I find it to be great. Your concerns as someone who starts and ends or travel there are valid though.
@oldmaxhall @jakehatch@Mitch_Harper Distracting fans and distracting players are two different things. I'm sure the players have been updated and his intentions have been made known to them. This feels like a pretty tight-knit team.
