Trying to be a disciple of Christ. Co-host of @breakdownbanana I write about music for @provomusicmag but my pinned post shows what really matters

The world is loud and full of distractions. But the most important work is done here, quietly, without fanfare. It’s a beautiful morning.

@Joshua_M_Hump Ha ha ha! Really funny, guy! I’ve never heard that one before! We got a real comedian over here!

@LukeFHan @Lew541207 @coninutah The Church’s style guide specifically says that it is fine to call church members “Latter-day Saints.” Calling ourselves Latter-day Saints does not take Christ’s name out of His church, it is just a way for us to identify ourselves as members.

Incredible.

President Dallin Oaks just posted the first color photograph ever taken of the Holy of Holies in the Salt Lake City Temple.

My wife and I just attended a funeral for one of her high school friends. He died unexpectedly two weeks ago. This was one of the most sacred events I have ever attended. The grief was real, but his family’s faith and resolve was incredible. So thankful for Christ’s resurrection.

Go to moves. Go to Elders Quorum activities that you think will suck. Go to the ballgame with that one brother in your ward who invites you last minute. My experience has improved as I’ve limited the number of “nos” I dish out

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

@hcollier88 @McCadeP8 That sucks, man. I’m sorry. I know it’s a serious issue and something I’ve tried to fix in my ward and we have made progress. But I just don’t know how to fix it other than doing what we have always been taught to do. Some people are just apathetic and wards suffer because of it.

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

The church has provided the infrastructure. Your Elders Quorum can be a great fraternal organization. You just gotta do stuff.

[McCade Pearson @McCadeP8]

The LDS Church—specifically in Utah culture—has a really hard time promoting healthy male-male friendships.

Why is that? How do we fix it?

Every night around 5 PM I have to walk laps around our house while holding our newborn and if I even stop for a split second he will scream.

[wanye @xwanyex]

Everybody talks about sleep and sleep training, but to me the most unreasonable thing about babies is how they always want you to stand when you’re holding them. Don’t even dare sit down. Any particular advantage to standing? Is it more comfortable? Does it help us accomplish anything? Nope. Do it anyway! Do not sit on that couch. I’m going to need you to stand.

The Party Animals are finally showing some flashes of the championship team they were last year

[Banana Ball @BananaBall_]

In a sold out Truist Park, the Party Animals defeat the Savannah Bananas in their first home show in an MLB Stadium⚔️

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

Jared just blew my mind. I somehow have never looked at it this way but it makes so much sense. I love this idea.

[Jared Cook @jkimballcook]

The Nauvoo endowment liturgy is a way to ritualize the endowment given in Kirtland, and to transcend the carriers of time space to make the endowment available to all saints who were not present for the Kirtland endowment. It's similar, in that way, to the way the sacrament...

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

This sucks

[NCAA March Madness @MarchMadnessMBB]

A look at the new bracket 👀

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

I have been saying this for years but people look at me like I’m crazy when I do it

[Kari Ann 🍓 @kariwarburton]

I wish we would start calling each other Brother/Sister *insert first name* rather than our last names

[Sporty @SportyMcSports]

parenting is hard actually. but doing hard things is good. i don't know why everybody started talking like hard things are intrinsically bad. you can't just relax your way into a good life. it takes effort

[Sammy Collier @samuelcollier99]

@SamBaumananas Remarkable reporting, Sam.
