โNo options leftโ is often just exhaustion talking. When weโre tired, disappointed, or stuck, itโs easy to give up. But the next possibility appears only after we take a breath, ask for help, change the angle, or try the thing that feels too simple to matter.
A timeless talk from President Monson on the truths which remain constant despite changing times.
This is talk is just as applicable 21 years after it was given.
โRemember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.โ
โJoseph Smith did not name the Church restored through him; neither did Mormon. It was the Savior Himself who said, โFor thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.โโ
We are aware of a serious incident that occurred outside a Church meetinghouse at 660 North Redwood Road in Salt Lake City tonight as a memorial service was being held in the chapel. The Church is cooperating with law enforcement and is grateful for the efforts of first responders.
Until more information is available, all questions about this incident are being directed to the Salt Lake City Police Department. We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind.

Major cheat code for life: Reliability. Youโll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary. Show up, do the work, repeat. The recipe for success in any area of life.

Susan and I have spent the day with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other community members who were involved in the tragic shooting episode that took place in Michigan on Sunday.
ย
The devotion of these faithful members makes me want to be more devoted, and the faithfulness of these good people makes me want to be more faithful.
ย
They have the capacityโbecause of the eternal perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christโto learn lessons in tragedy in mortality that prepare them for eternal life.
ย
We are familiar with the admonition that we should mourn with those that mourn. There are broken hearts here in Michigan. My invitation to any and all is to continue to pray for these good people.
โโฆhow great things thou hast prepared for him that waiteth for thee.โ โ D&C 133:45
The Lord needs faithful hands and hopeful hearts now.
He honors those who build His kingdom with diligence.
On this day in Church history:
September 26, 1963
President John F. Kennedy delivers a foreign policy speech in the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
President Kennedy โ who, as a presidential candidate three years earlier, had quoted the Doctrine and Covenants and the Articles of Faith in a speech at the Tabernacle โ once again closed his message with an appeal to Latter-day Saint history:
