Jesus Christ lives and loves to lift.
As a teen learning to fly a two-seat glider, I learned the crucial skill in gliding is finding rising air, otherwise known as “lift.” You cannot see it, but you can see what it does.
Just as there is rising air, there is sinking air, called “sink.” It likewise cannot be seen, but it can be felt, and I quickly learned to avoid it.
During my journey of faith, I recognised that the principles of gliding I had learned in my teens have significant similarities with spiritual principles: We must avoid sink and find lift.
Spiritual lift cannot be seen or touched, but as we learn to discern and act upon the sensitive impressions of the Holy Spirit, we can feel it—as surely as I felt the rising air lift a wing beneath me.
When we first experience lift, it is wondrous. We may feel a soul-expanding lightness of being unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.
Pay close attention to the sweet, peaceful feelings that come when you choose spiritual lift, the rising forces that bring you into the Saviour’s loving upward pull.
Likewise, pay attention to the dim and dampening feelings that lead away from the Redeemer and His infinite love.
We can learn to live in spiritual lift. And when we sink, our gentle Saviour is there to lift us up as we turn to Him.
Your Saviour is your lift. He is your ever-rising air. There is no limit to how high you can climb with Him.

"Finisher of Faith" by Kelsy and Jesse Lightweave
Many of our hearts ache for loved ones who have stepped away from obedience to God’s laws.
In our grief, we continuously ponder the whys, hows, and what ifs. We feel we have failed. We preach, teach, and invite—but often to no avail.
By divine design, brothers and sisters, everyone must choose for themselves to follow Jesus Christ.
I ask you to turn over to Jesus Christ your despair for those wayward souls.
We cannot change their hearts, but He can; He is a God of miracles.
Our Savior has already paid for the sins and errant choices of all of God’s children, including those for whom you and I grieve. He knows them. He knows their hearts; He loves them. He gave His very life to bring them home, all the way home.
By the power of Jesus Christ’s Atonement, there is always a way back!
In the vernacular, the Savior says to all who grieve, “I’ve got this!”
Never, never, give up on those you love.
Remember Jesus Christ is the answer. He is, always has been, and always will be.
Trust Him. He’s got this!

Putting money or something of value at risk to bet on a particular outcome or event is an activity that has plagued mankind almost, I suppose, from the beginning of time.
And time has not made it any more worthwhile or any less harmful. Unfortunately, in recent years, gambling has become incredibly pervasive.

More than 200 years ago on Sept. 21-22, the angel Moroni visited and taught Joseph Smith and showed him the location of the gold plates containing the Book of Mormon. Here are Church News articles, podcast episode and videos about the event.

During my address this week at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., I shared that living together in peace requires goodwill among those who differ.
Knowing that we are all children of God gives us a divine vision of the worth of all others.
I pray to our Heavenly Father for His blessings upon us that we will all seek to be peacemakers.
