Dear #ldsx, Don’t worry so much about people saying you’re not Christian. You are a member of His church. You belong to Him. You don’t need to belong anywhere else.

@ShaunMcKnight 😂

This is remarkable and odd, all at the same time, and I can’t quite put my toe on it.

@Manhattva @Tweedy3420 He’s going to love it so much! I served in Catania 26 years ago. He is in for an incredible experience that will shape the rest of his life and beyond. Congratulations!

My son Mikey just got his mission call.

@ShaunMcKnight Beautiful! Mindy’s amazing. Did you get an end spot, navigating the pole? 😉

My wife has really outdone herself on the Easter dinner decor… 🤩❤️

@fenshamc So kind of you to say these things. You are a true Christian—or truly Christlike—whichever you like! God bless you, friend!

This was my first General Conference since I realised 'Mormons' aren't 'a polygamous version of the Amish.' 😂 Late last year I casually wondered, 'What do the Mormons actually believe?' Months later, I'm reading the Book of Mormon daily and felt compelled to watch the General Conference. Here's my biggest takeaway: If the people attacking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spent just two hours watching one session, I think their views would shift. How can you sit through that spirit, that sincerity, and still see these people as 'lost' or 'evil'? It's mind-boggling. I'm also really grateful for all the LDS friends on X who, knowingly or not, helped me learn and understand more along the way. Whatever path this takes, whether I eventually join or say, 'Fascinating, I respect it deeply, but I'll stay with my Dutch Reformed church', I'm profoundly grateful. The Lord used simple curiosity to change my relationship with Him, how I see the world, and how I face adversity.

@Ch_JesusChrist Such a beautiful talk! Especially meaningful to me: “The love of God and our fellowman is the ultimate test of the condition of our spirit.” Thank you, Sister Yee!

@ShaunMcKnight ❤️ I’m sorry to hear. You’re a good brother and dad, Shaun.

A single brother in our quorum was in a car accident last year that left him paralyzed from the neck down and just passed away. My son and I (as well as other quorum brethren) were able to provide the sacrament and other service to this brother often, as he was in and out of the hospital most of that time. I can tell Brother S’s passing has affected my son, and just like that he has learned just how Christlike service to our Heavenly Father’s children brings the purest form of love.🥹💙 RIP Brother S. 🙏🏻👼

6 Wild things Latter-day Saints believe about other Christians: • They’re our brothers and sisters. • We celebrate their faith in Jesus Christ. • We’re grateful for all the good they do in the world. • We love the service they provide in communities we share. • We admire their devotion to family and fellowship. • We’re glad to call them our neighbors and friends.

@ShaunMcKnight I hadn’t heard they got it approved!!! That’s fantastic! You must be excited!

My son at his Melchizedek Priesthood interview tonight was able to hold a golden shovel from the Fairview Temple groundbreaking ceremony 2 weeks ago for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 🤩 (That temple will be next door to our church building in Fairview, TX.)

The jobs apocalypse is the Population Bomb of our time. Instead we're seeing more hiring in the job most affected by AI: programming. That should have been clear and obvious to anyone with basic economics understanding and good handle on the history of technology but it's sadly lacking today. Fear sells. It drives clicks. It drive engagements. The jobs apocalypse scenario comes from catastrophizing personalities and people who think of life as a zero sum game. It's the same mistake the communist theorists made. They thought jobs and labor were fixed and there's nothing new under the sun. If we take one job that job is lost forever and that person is now useless. Wrong. Instead, what happens is that when something gets faster and cheaper we want more of it. Much more. There is so much software that we could not build before because there weren't enough skilled people and not enough time and it wasn't worth the time or money. Now it is worth it because it is faster and cheaper. Cheaper for SaaS builders, cheaper for individuals, cheaper for enterprises, cheaper for everyone. That's why were are seeing programmer jobs tick upwards. Right now we are not seeing juniors get hired but that is also always the case in a recovery. We just saw mass layoffs because of overhiring during COVID and cheap money printing that made lending essentially free. The unskilled, aka junior workers, are always the last hired. You want skilled verterans who can take on the new technology with experience and take off running not someone you have to train and babysit when you have been stuck in third gear for a few years. Job populists on the hard left like Sanders and many of his mirrors on the populist hard right are the enemies of actual working economies and must be resisted at all costs. They hurt the very people they hope to help by clinging to the past and thinking of life as a zero sum game. This increase in jobs is the reality that will increasingly play out over the next few years if AI keeps getting better, barring some other economic shock that changes the game. It will increasingly play out even when we have "geniuses in a datacenter." It will be a shock to some. Just not the jobs shock they were expecting. Sorry to disappoint but we're not getting UBI any time soon while the robots do all the jobs and you sit on your ass. Seems like we are all going to have to work a bit longer.

@ShaunMcKnight @AJ_Dybantsa Bro. How would it be?

Can we all imagine AJ back in blue??? 🤩 @AJ_Dybantsa

Get your Mac Mini and start paying for tokens…

We’re cooked….

This will be interesting to watch unfold.

No black person should ever be depicted as a Monkey. Ever.

@ShaunMcKnight I love this thought, Shaun. Man, you give good prayers. I’ve got a long way to go still. What’s great is that, knowing you, this is exactly how your prayers actually are. 💪

Just pondering on this absolutely beautiful thought today. Prayer isn't “reporting”… it's fine tuning. We are not informing God (He already knows), we are simply tuning ourselves to His frequency. This is why short and honest prayers often do more than long and polished ones. The goal isn't reverence theater. It's relational clarity… "What am I avoiding/missing?" "Who needs me today?" "How can I improve who I am?" “How can I become more like Thee? Let’s check in like this. These are the prayers that will change us for the better.🙏🏻

@LDS_Liberty You’ve nailed it! So well said!
