CherylKActon, a public figure known for her commentary on faith and community issues, shared a series of reflections on May 19, 2026, addressing themes of intelligence, spirituality, and urban aesthetics.
In her first post of the day, Acton referenced scripture to discuss the nature of intelligence: “This morning, before seeing this post, I thought of D&C 93:36: ‘The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.’ While I’m sure that God is proud of his children’s inventiveness (as any parent would be), we must be cautious in discerning intelligence” (May 19, 2026).
Continuing her thoughts later that morning, Acton emphasized the importance of spiritual guidance: “To continue my thought: Having the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost is more critical than ever. Live worthy of it and pray for it continually.” (May 19, 2026).
Later that day, Acton shifted focus to urban environments and their upkeep. She wrote: “I think beauty is important, too. If we’re not making beautiful fountains anymore, we should at least maintain the ones we have. There are few things lovelier in urban areas than rushing water and well maintained green spaces. Everyone benefits.” (May 19, 2026).
Acton’s posts reflect ongoing conversations about balancing technological advancement with spiritual discernment and highlight a broader societal interest in preserving public spaces for communal benefit.
