I rewatched Independence Day and forgot how much of that movie is just Jeff Goldblum being anxious in a dress shirt. The whole planet is under attack and he's over here recycling cans and running probability math in his head. He's not the guy you'd cast to save the world. That's kind of the point.
Most of the people who move the gospel forward look a lot more like Jeff Goldblum than they do like Will Smith. Anxious. Underqualified. Doing the thing anyway.
This Sunday is Fast and Testimony meeting. If the Spirit's been nudging you, or you've had one of those quiet weeks where something small mattered more than it should have, come share it.

"He Took Up… the Mantle of Elijah" — 2 Kings 2–7
Elijah gets caught up in a whirlwind and Elisha is standing there holding his coat. He walks back to the Jordan, hits the water with the mantle, and it parts again. Same miracle, different guy.
I think about that whenever a calling changes hands, or a parent watches their kid leave for a mission, or somebody quietly steps into a role nobody expected them to. The work keeps moving because someone picks up what got dropped.
See you Sunday.
