@smootdawg01 @IDHSAA @SBLiveID @idahosports @MrIdahoPreps @idaho @CascadeHoopTalk Keep preaching it Smoot!!! Absolutely ridiculous they haven’t changed it yet.

I’m tired of telling an 18 win team they can’t go to state when they’re top 3 in the state and we have to watch a team with 3 wins go! I welcome any @IDHSAA member to come down & explain why? Expand! Ridiculous! @SBLiveID @idahosports @MrIdahoPreps @idaho @CascadeHoopTalk

I recently celebrated my 99th birthday and thus commenced my 100th year of living. I am often asked the secret to living so long. A better question would be, “What have I learned in nearly a century of living?” I have learned that Heavenly Father’s plan for us is fabulous, that what we do in this life really matters, and that the Savior’s Atonement is what makes our Father’s plan possible. Here is the great news of God’s plan: The very things that will make your mortal life the best it can be are exactly the same things that will make your life throughout all eternity the best it can be! Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import. Far too many people live as though this life is all there is. However, your choices today will determine three things: where you will live throughout eternity, the kind of body with which you will be resurrected, and those with whom you will live forever. So, think celestial. When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view—an eternal view. Put Jesus Christ first, because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and in His Atonement. It is also dependent upon your obedience to His laws. Obedience paves the way for a joyful life for you today and a grand, eternal reward tomorrow. When you are confronted with a dilemma, think celestial! When tested by temptation, think celestial! When life or loved ones let you down, think celestial! When someone dies “prematurely,” think celestial. When someone lingers with a devastating illness, think celestial. When the pressures of life crowd in upon you, think celestial! As you recover from an accident or injury, think celestial! As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change. You will want to pray more often and more sincerely. The Lord’s perspective transcends your mortal wisdom. His response to your prayers may surprise you and will help you to think celestial. #GeneralConference

To the many seasoned seniors in the Church who could serve as missionaries—the Lord needs you. We need you in New York and Chicago, Australia and Africa, Thailand and Mexico, and everywhere in between. My parents, Elder Rulon and Sister Verda Rasband, were serving as a senior couple in the Fort Lauderdale Florida Mission. They were proselyting and by divine guidance, knocked on the door of Rebecca Guzman’s home. Unknown to them at that moment, Rebecca already had some familiarity with the Church due to being a fan of musician Donny Osmond. “My mother told me to get rid of them,” Rebecca later wrote, “but my heart said ‘No.’ I looked into their faces and felt so much warmth and love. The memory still brings tears to my eyes and deep emotion to my heart.” Rebecca invited them in and my missionary parents shared a message with her, her two younger sisters, and despite her objections, her mother. Rebecca described to me, “Both your parents were wonderful in explaining any questions we had. I can still see their faces as if there was light surrounding them. We always hugged your mother when she left and she always made a point of helping my mother feel comfortable and respected. Your father always had a sparkle in his eyes as he was teaching us about Jesus Christ. He tried to include my father in discussions, and eventually won him over.” After four months, Rebecca insisted she be baptized and join the true Church. She recalled, “Every fiber of my soul knew it was true.” On April 5, 1979, missionaries baptized 19-year-old Rebecca, her mother, and two sisters. My father was a witness at the baptism. There are so many ways senior missionaries can do what no one else can. You are a remarkable force for good, seasoned in the Church, and poised to encourage and rescue God’s children. #GeneralConference

@RepChrisStewart You have been such a blessing for our country- thank you for your dedicated service. Hope you have some free time now for you and your family!

As I sat on the airplane last night, flying home from DC for the last time as a Member of Congress, I started to think about this amazing experience, the incredible people I have meet, and the things I have learned. I started to write them down and continued for about 3 hours.

@JasonBMac24 @BrockMackenzie1 Awesome!!!!

Extremely happy for this guy! So well deserved!

@CoachWhiteISU Congrats Coach!!

I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by great people in my career. Coaches, players, support staff, administrations, etc. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them. Nothing is more important than the relationships built along the way. Go Bengals!

@CoachWhiteISU Very well deserved!!!! Go Bengals!!!

Blessed and honored to be promoted to Associate Head Coach! My family and I are very grateful for the trust Coach Looney has in me and to be a part of the Bengal Family! Let’s keep building. Go Bengals! 🐅🏀

@NelsonRussellM We love you so very much and pray for you daily!

You may have heard a rumor that someone saw me somewhere using a walker or a wheelchair. Well, it’s not a rumor. From time to time, I’m having a small challenge with my balance. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when little issues arise as I near the century mark. Gratefully, my heart is good, my spirit is strong as are my legs, and my brain still works. I love you my dear brothers and sisters, and am grateful every day to serve the Lord and you. Little challenges with balance should be the least of our worries. Onward and upward!

Congratulations to @asmay20 @BrockMackenzie1 @daxtoncarr27 @jaynagle3 @JaredtRod and Ed Chang. All graduating and leaving us with a degree(s) from @IdahoStateU. #GoBengals
