There are very personal experiences to me that I know I can't deny the truth of the gospel. I know I'll continue to struggle with church policy, culture and imperfect men. But I can try to be more Christlike, look out for those in need and build my relationship with our Savior.
My grandpa passed away this morning and was one of the biggest Utah fans I know. If the Utes televised their chess club, he would watch it. In his honor tonight, I hope they win. Go Utes!
It's crazy how quickly you can love a little human the second you meet them. Avery James Lewis finally made her entrance late last night after a really long labor. All three of us are healthy and exhausted.
We'd appreciate some prayers sent to Avery. Poor little thing is in constant pain and we're in the midst of trying to figure it out. She hasn't had the best start on this earth and we're really trying to find some solutions. Thanks friends.
BYU apologized and took swift action. Fans, alumni and the university got dragged through the mud. They do an investigation. BYU still gets called bigots, racists and claim it's a cover up.
Damned if you, damned if you don't.
Don't get me wrong, the Big 12 is great for football but this is a huge level up for ALL sports at BYU. It's a really really good thing for cougar athletics.
With teams dropping out and bowls getting canceled, consider this is a

appreciation tweet. I'm glad our boys want to play. 🏈🏈🏈
If the goal is to find someone who makes you happier than your team winning a football game then I'm definitely marrying the right person, even if he is a Ute. 18 days!
I've literally said so many times, one of my beefs with the church is my place in the church as a single person. It seems the Lord and the Brothern are listening. Amazing.
Out of 33k students, 10-15 students are expelled each year. That means most likely if you mess up, you'll get a second chance, probably even a third. These protests and alleged HC horror stories are a joke.
There are parts of church history I don't understand or make me cringe. But without a doubt, I believe the Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith was a prophet of God.
Shortly after five o’clock pm on June 27, an armed mob rushed the jailhouse. Within minutes, Joseph and Hyrum were dead.
The Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were martyrs for and of the Book of Mormon in all senses of the word.
I think the most annoying thing about Pioneer Day is all the non Mormons who really want to make sure you know they're not celebrating the holiday because they're not Mormon and how "stupid" it is.
Backsplash eventually but I'm out of money. In the meantime, it feels like a new kitchen and I'm stoked! I especially love the sink which makes me old.
If you can't already tell by now, I think the world of my mom. Had a bittersweet day of celebrating her retirement. 33 years of teaching is quite the accomplishment. She's my 🐐.
Because of Him, we're never truly alone. Because of Him, we can start over again.
Because of Him, death is not the end.
Because of Him, I have eternal life with my family.
Happy Easter!
#BecauseOfHim
Too many times members of the church let other's thoughts and actions affect their own faith and relationship with our Savior. We are imperfect people. Have patience with yourself and others. You are a son or daughter of heavenly parents and there is a specific plan for you.
To an outsider, it's hard to explain how much the Jazz mean to this state. We truly have a culture of basketball here. We are lucky to have memories of Sloan, Stock & Malone. Seems like we should all cherish that more since Coach didn't have those memories in the end.

Let's make tomorrow a better day. Who is with me? I'll be looking for ways to serve others and show kindness. Return and report to this thread. Let's get some positive vibes going!!
Post Christmas miracle!!! I was able to ever so slightly taste some skittles today. No other food (yet) but the skittles, even though it was faint, had a normal taste!! I literally cried.
This is when it gets a little scary. My grandma now tested positive. Grandpa got tested today. We all wore masks around my grandparents, tried to distance and we tried to be as careful as possible. It's crazy how fast this spread in our fam. Please keep them in your prayers.
One thing you realize as an adult is that Christmas can be a sad and lonely time for people. I'm sorry if that's you this year and just know someone is thinking about you. Merry Christmas! ❤🤍💚
Man, the reel BYU posted with the Friday Night Lights song and caption "Nights like this make lifelong Cougar fans" gave me absolute chills. Our media team is top notch.

A bishop in our stake passed away from Covid. No underlying health conditions, healthy, just a month younger than my dad. Crazy how my dad had mild cold symptoms and this guy passes away in a month. Grateful all my family didn't have major complications. Super sobering day.
