Does God care about the MoTab Choir? Does God want the MoTab Choir to be successful? i.e. be a great choir that grabs the spotlight

Does God want LDS media advertising to be successful? i.e. quality production that impresses people

Does God want LDS to become successful in the areas of sports, entertainment, art, business so they shine their light before wide audience, bringing attention to LDS church?

Does God want the missionary effort to be effective, maximizing impact of budget $ and time of volunteers?

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

But God wants all of his children to be successful. He wants Utah football so succeed as much as he does BYU football. He wants Oral Roberts basketball to succeed as much as Notre Dame basketball.

Try again.

OK, rephrase. It's a world of scarcity. We compete for resources. If a choir is successful it means another choir out there is less successful. Same for a church tv commercial, etc. So I'll rephrase all four questions with a do you think God wants it to be successful in relation to competing similar resources not expressly affiliated with LDS church.

In that case, I still want Utah to beat BYU.

The other 3 the answer is still yes.

Good answer. You're at least a partial BYU fan.

Well, the Lord asks that I only pay 10% of my income for tithing. This would be 75% of me towards other things.

That is an admirable thing. But I'm a mere mortal.

Now, if Utah dropped sports, I'd consider being a BYU fan.

Maybe.

Not really.

I'll send you a free t-shirt and duffel bag. I'm positive that will expedite your return to the BYU fold.

No way. I've seen Judkins play. I haven't seen you play, but I can say with confidence that you are no Judkins.

And there were shorts, wristbands, a headband, shoes and socks in the bag as well. I'll admit that I can be bought, but it would have to be a lot more than that. Like LES for starters.
