Dude that’s the worst. I stopped trusting randomly assorted chocolate decades ago. See’s milk chocolate custom mix is the way to go if you want a treat, or to ruin your figure…

W_Cleon_Skousen_The_Meaning_Of_The_Atonement.mp3 Skousen's talk. Around 20 minutes he mentions the inspiration of his mission president, John A. Widsoe. When you listen to general conference, look for the 2 Ne 2: 14 quote. It will be there a couple of times, always is.

I’m heartbroken that BYU got rained on. That was crazy, 25 3-pointers… Very excited about next year though. AJ Dybantsa will bring a huge amount of national attention. First game next season is Villanova. If we can retain Egor Demin and Richie Saunders, it will be awesome. Hopefully we can continue winning seasons with deep penetration into March. Kevin Young has a 7 year contract worth 30M. Alumni with NIL deep pockets helps considerably as well. I also went to the University of Houston a couple years and Med school @ Texas Tech so I still got a couple teams in the dance.

Cleon Skousen actually gives credit of these ideas to the Apostle John A Widtsoe. This single scripture is a major key to the theory. 2 Ne 2:14 And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon. Also good to compare to Helaman 12: 6-17

@LDSGator Y’all made that game way to exciting.

We made it out of the first round! I smell sweet 16.

I like it, #6 seed playing in Denver! VCU first match. Likely Wisconsin to make it to the sweet 16 then possibly Alabama.

There seems to be alot of concern about what seed BYU gets. I don’t really care. But I sure as heck don’t want to play North Carolina in the first game.

I gave this sacrament talk last Easter. Looking for some feedback. Easter.Sacrament.Last day.docx

Gators are looking great today.

Next week is the dance! please win 2 games 🙏

Today’s BYU devotional. That’s our Coach!

I agree. A great sound system dramatically improves a good movie. We have a sonos Arc setup, and any Atmos soundtrack is an experience. My bedroom is better than a movie theater. Great movies for the bass experience: Dune Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse All Quiet on the Western Front

Good question. I don’t know. Only thing I can think of is: D&C 107: 3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. 4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood. Also this, but probably not what you were looking for…

Imagine calling you kids in college and having them tell you the same exact message every time. Hard pass. When we pray in public, it should be pertinent to the place and circumstance. I don’t what to hear a story or any sense of virtue signaling of your or anyones righteousness of library of knowledge. I appreciate a sincere prayer. Children are great examples. In your personal prayers, go for it. You do you.

You may find the following of interest: Please read 3 Ne 11 & 19 3 Ne 19: 16 And it came to pass that he spake unto the multitude, and commanded them that they should kneel down again upon the earth, and also that his disciples should kneel down upon the earth. 17 And it came to pass that when they had all knelt down upon the earth, he commanded his disciples that they should pray. 18 And behold, they began to pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God. Remember They are One. When you pray to Heavenly Father, Jesus also hears. In my opinion, it is important to know as much as possible about the identity of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. How are they different and how they are the same. I pray to Heavenly Father. When I take the Sacrament, I think about Jesus Christ.

I get aggravated in how we (mostly politicians) use the word science. The following are a few of my favorite quotes about science: “We don’t know. We got nothing folks. Well, we got something. It’s tough... It’s tough.” - Paul M. Sutter atrophysicist commenting about the theory of early Universe inflation and why it stopped. “Science doesn’t tell us why. It tells us why we were wrong.” - Stuart Firestein (Neuroscientist) “Science isn’t about being right.” - Grant Tremblay Astrophysicist After reportedly reviewing a paper with ideas that were so flawed or nonsensical and barely met the basic criteria of scientific discourse he commented, ‘This isn’t right, It’s not even wrong…’ - Wolfgang Pauli Theoretical Physicist Science tests a null hypothesis. We make shaky theories and then use these theories to make predictions. We shouldn’t. When I hear a politician say we are following the science, I cringe.

lol, how prophetic. Reminds me of https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/simpsons-future-predictions-accurate-1140775/

Oliver Cowdery never made it to Utah. He was rebaptized in 1848 in Iowa. He intended to travel to Utah but died in Missouri in 1850.

So close. I was in a meeting. I pulled up the score and saw that the Gators were up by 1 with about 2 minutes to go and was impressed with the comeback. Then I saw the final score. 😟 That's why we play the games. I hope BYU can win at least one game in the NCAA tournament. 🤞
