@TrumpDailyPosts Cut southwest from TSA check points then. Make them do their own screening of passengers! You get so many government benefits you don’t get to choose to not allow a government agency the ability to do there job.
@realericmoutsos Utah law allows 1 day before and after the fourth to do fire works.
Utah is already on fire dealing with the structure ever burned in a fire in Utah.
"This is why the temple matters most in the pit. When the floor is gone and you are falling and certain you will fall forever, it stands as the one answer your despair cannot argue with. And despair is clever. It dismantles every consolation. It turns every comfort to ash. It talks you out of every hope you try to hold.
But the temple does not offer an argument for despair to attack. It makes its claim in stone and ascent and a room full of light at the top of the climb, and that claim slips beneath every objection you can raise, because it never asks you to feel better or to think your way free. It simply shows you, in a language older than your pain, which way the universe runs. It does not promise the climb is easy. It never did. It tells you the one thing you most need and least believe in the dark. That the climb goes up. That the falling is not the end of you. That there is a floor beneath the floor, a hand already holding you, and a room of light at the top of a stairwell you cannot yet see."
Latter-day Saints believe in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the end of one’s identity changes the entire perspective of mortal life. It gives strength to endure mortal challenges and encouragement to fulfill family responsibilities. It helps individuals live together in love.
Jesus Christ taught that the great commandments are to love God and neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39). He also taught to “love your enemies” (Matthew 5:43-44).
“Today we might say that we are commanded to love our adversaries. All mortals are beloved children of God.”
Following these teachings of the Savior does not mean surrendering one’s values, but seeking to live peaceably and lovingly with others who do not share such values and do not have the same covenant obligations. “This balancing is not easy.”
“As followers of Christ, we should seek to live peaceably and lovingly with other children of God who do not share our values and do not have the covenant obligations we have assumed.
“In a democratic government we should seek ‘fairness for all.’ In countless circumstances, strangers’ suspicion or even hostility gradually give way to friendship when personal contacts produce mutual respect.”

The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.
I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.
It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.
It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.
Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.

“Our understanding of eternal truth is not forged in a single moment—testimony is built over time, day after day, both best days and worst.” — President Emily Belle Freeman #GeneralConference
He is risen! And because Christ rose again, we will too. Thanks to Him, no pain, fear, failure, or unfairness is permanent. This is greater love. This is Easter.
“Living the message of the risen Christ testifies of our devotion and love of our Savior. It may well be that our consistent, courageous and humble acts of service and love for God and His children will speak far more eloquently and powerfully than we ever could through words alone.” — President Dieter F. Uchtdorf (@UchtdorfDF) #GeneralConference
