@bmariner @ATrueMillennial Hey Clint can you elaborate?

@ATrueMillennial I don't think it helps that we tend to run YSA wards like they're adult extensions of YM/YW.

I talked with a good single man in his thirties. He's describing the Utah/singles ward environment/dating pool. I feel so bad for everyone, that sounds absolutely awful. Hopefully it's not as bad as he made it sound?

This morning, I described how blessed it is to be a peacemaker and how peacemaking begins in the most basic place: in our hearts, then in homes and families. As we practice there, peacemaking will spread into our neighborhoods and communities. Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak, but to be strong in a way the world may not understand.

Susan and I have spent the day with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other community members who were involved in the tragic shooting episode that took place in Michigan on Sunday.   The devotion of these faithful members makes me want to be more devoted, and the faithfulness of these good people makes me want to be more faithful.   They have the capacity—because of the eternal perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christ—to learn lessons in tragedy in mortality that prepare them for eternal life.   We are familiar with the admonition that we should mourn with those that mourn. There are broken hearts here in Michigan. My invitation to any and all is to continue to pray for these good people.

The day before he was horrifically murdered, Charlie Kirk sent me a direct message on X. Unfortunately, before I could even respond, Charlie Kirk was killed — seemingly assassinated for the words he'd spoken. I've taken issue with many of those words — sometimes strongly — but never his right to speak them. Never his right to express those views and then go home to his family. That is a sacred American value. Kirk’s murder gives us all reason to come back to the table for dialogue. There is a rising tide of political violence that has already swept away his life and many others’ lives, from both the Left and the Right. Violence like this should compel people in both parties to turn down the heat, seek common ground and look for off-ramps from the vitriol — as Kirk was doing with me, the day before he died. We can choose to go the way of more violence, more outrage and more censorship — if we want to. But if we choose censorship and civil war, we cannot blame that choice on Charlie Kirk! From his last 24 hours, I have the proof that he wanted to go a very different way.

@T_Jackman @LDSchurch Tapir’s on the hunt!

@OSayWhatIsTruth @1derdude @LDSchurch I can verify that you are indeed misinformed.

@1derdude @LDSchurch I wish I was. Truly.

Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ truly care about us and what we are doing. They want us to be made “perfect in weakness.”

A loving Savior has provided a way for us to heal from spiritual wounds and illness by turning to and coming unto Him.

Our way of life, hour by hour, must be filled with the love of God and love for others.

@KBlickenstaff hah I'm just seeing this now. Hope you guys are well!!
