If Ben Sasse beats his cancer diagnosis, he needs to run for President. This country needs him.

Calling your own child an environmental liability is the bleakest form of modern ideology.
If your worldview leads you to see your baby as a carbon problem, the problem isn’t the baby.
Breitbart News@BreitbartNews
Esther Kim Varet, a prominent L.A. art dealer and Democrat candidate for Congress, says she had an abortion at age 41 because she and her husband are "big environmentalists," and they did not want to have more children than the two they previously conceived through IVF. "The irony is, so many people that want to wave their finger at you -- I'm telling you, if you've gone through IVF, you're doing the same thing. You have embryos; you're you're making choices."

Imagine that…
A religious institution that isn’t pillaged by fraud.
A sect of people devoted to paying God and not church employees.
You want a real story!?!
Look how much it gives to charity annually while still being responsible.
Hell…
If the Government ran like our church, we’d pay 10% tax and thrive.
I’m shocked by people’s shock of an honest tithe and honest tithe takers.

As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.

My wife has been a homemaker for the past 17 years, so I’m a big fan of that, too.
I’m just saying you can be a good mom and work outside the home.

Just a reminder that Brigham Young asked latter day saint women to study medicine. And it wasn't just single sisters.
You can be a wife and mother and a doctor. It is fully compatible with the Family Proclamation and the Church.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints@Ch_JesusChrist
“I grew up in Arizona, served a mission in Mexico, and went to college thinking I had a pretty clear path for my life. Then I met my now wife Victoria, and everything changed in the best way. “She always knew she wanted to be a doctor. Pediatric neurology isn’t an easy road, but it’s who she is, compassionate, steady, brilliant, and drawn to help kids and families through the hardest things life hands them. When she got into med school in California, we packed up and moved. “Stepping into her dream together was an easy choice. I wanted to support her the way she has always supported me. And honestly, watching her work and sacrifice and love people like she does has strengthened my faith more than anything else. “My path hasn’t been as clear. I’ve tried different directions, learned a lot, prayed a lot. Some days I still feel like I’m figuring it out. But I do know that God doesn’t measure timelines. He measures love, humility, and the way we show up for each other. “Supporting her doesn’t shrink my purpose—it expands it. Our callings from God can look different, and that’s beautiful. I’m building my future too, but I’m grateful that right now, part of my purpose is cheering for the person I love most as she steps into hers. “There’s not one 'right way' to build a family or a future. For us, this is ours. And it’s sacred.” — Nate

Sasse: "At a policy level, I’m very conservative. At a dispositional and tonal level, I’m a moderate because I believe that American civics and the glories of being able to inherit a constitutional doctrine of anti-majoritarianism and restraints and a belief in pluralism — that stuff is so glorious"

“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.”
— President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) #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.

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.

The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to “Come home.”
Feeling we don’t belong, struggling with doubts, or being limited by traditions are just a few of the reasons we don’t immediately find our way home. But even as societal pressures pull people away from faith, life’s deeper questions don’t go away.
Only Jesus Christ can fully restore that light and joy into your life. We all struggle and need patience, service, and love from each other. To those who are trying to help, hold on to truth and keep your covenants. To those who are struggling, know you are loved and the Savior is calling you home.
I witness that Christ is our Redeemer. When we fall short, He repairs the breaches in our lives. The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to come home. Come home. #GeneralConference

Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that.
Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity, or the pure love of Christ. As we are blessed to receive this supernal gift, a transformation occurs in our spiritual nature and character. Charity encompasses both what we do and what we can become as this spiritual gift ultimately possesses us.
As we follow, love, and serve the Savior, we gradually focus less on our own desires and interests, and more on understanding and addressing the needs of others. We do not merely perform benevolent deeds; rather, our state of being is changed and becomes increasingly Christlike. Charity, then, ultimately possesses us.
The scriptural phrase “endure to the end” is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ. #GeneralConference

The world today seems to be in commotion. There are wars and rumors of wars. The economies of whole continents seem to be faltering. Prophesied wickedness seems to be accelerating as the Savior’s return draws nearer.
Yet despite turmoil and difficulty, faithful Latter-day Saints in hardship across the world have flooded heaven with prayers.
In public, and in private, they are petitioning the Lord for help, for comfort, for direction, and personal peace for those they love.
Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us.
As we pray continually, no matter the circumstances of life, the Lord will offer us His peace and abiding support.
Consistent prayer during joyous times and also during seasons of distress and grief will surely be rewarded according to His will and perfect timing.

“At this Easter season, I reaffirm our testimony of the Resurrected Lord and recognize that He is the head of this Church.” — President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) #GeneralConference

The General Conference we convened today was remarkable because it began with what we call a Solemn Assembly. For more than a century this has been an event of great significance to members of the Church.
In a Solemn Assembly, we vote to sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in this Assembly voting by quorums and groups. We do this only in the first conference where a new president and prophet of the Church has been called.
I am grateful to be among those whose callings are formally recognized in this way, and appreciate your participation in this significant occasion.
I express our gratitude as leaders of the Church for our members’ sustaining vote, prayers, and support. We also pray for you to be guided and prospered as you continue the great service you give to the children of God throughout the world.
At this Easter season, I reaffirm our testimony of the Resurrected Lord and recognize that He is the head of this Church. We pray for His blessings upon this conference and upon all of you.
