Here is the best thing I heard (What?), saw (Eye.), and read (Read.) this week, as well as the best idea (💡) I developed.
What?
All In Podcast – Andy Reid: United—Creating Great Teams On and Off the Field:
- “Speaking of Patrick Mahomes. When I was preparing for this interview, I read something where he said … you let him be himself and that he feels like that he wouldn’t be the player that he is if you hadn’t been his NFL coach. Why is his personality something that makes him great? How have you kind of tapped into that?” -Morgan Jones Pearson
“Yeah. So he literally wants to be great every day. I mean, he says it when he gets in the huddle every day and it’s not something that he’s just saying. I mean, he actually means it. It’s great for young people to see that there’s a guy that is blessed with athletic ability, but he’s going to try to maximize that part of it every day. He also does the same thing as a person. He’s a father and he wants to be a great father. He wants to be a great husband. And so he’s always searching those things out and trying to see what he can do better in the areas of family and football. So he’s a pleasure to be around. You can give him something on the football field – now, this sounds easy – but you can give him something on the football field in practice, and he’ll actually try it in a live situation in a game. And so that tells you as great as he is, he wants one more nugget to be greater than he already is.” -Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid

Why Is It Important to Wear Garments? – True Millennial – Instagram:
- “If you understand what the garment symbolizes, and that you are putting that on your body, and that every time you take it off you’re taking off Jesus Christ, then that helps answer that question right there. I’m not going to give a big list of when you should wear your garment and when you shouldn’t, but don’t wear it if it’s completely impractical. You’re not going to swim in your garment. There are certain things that you’re not going to do. But if you can do it, keep it with you. You want to keep Jesus Christ with you as much as you can.” -Sharon Eubank

Our Children’s Divine Destiny – W. Justin Dyer, PhD – April 2024 Liahona:
- “One woman I know had a father who was often angry and easily upset. She said, ‘For many years, I saw Heavenly Father the same way I saw my own—someone who for the most part kept his distance and was easily disappointed.’ This impacted her ability to truly understand Heavenly Father. However, she shared that Heavenly Father helped her learn that ‘He is slowly walking me out of fearing Him and into the saving power of His love.’ She began to see the real Him.
“The first purpose of Primary is to help children feel their Heavenly Father’s love. This can also be one of the first purposes of parents. As children feel Heavenly Father’s love, they will have a better understanding of Him and want to become like Him.”
