  • More Diligent and Concerned at Home

    Continuing my general conference series, this week I was reading David A Bednar’s talk, More Diligent and Concerned at Home. Here are a few quotes and thoughts We can begin to become more diligent and concerned at home by telling the people we love that we love them. Such expressions do not need to be…

  • Conference talk – To Acquire Spiritual Guidance

    So, I’m back in the saddle of reading conference talks. Today was my first one reading the new conference that just happened earlier this month. But since I missed Priesthood session, I have the whole list to do, which is 34 talks, so I will have to double up to get them done by April.…

  • An interesting perspective on parenting

    So, I had an interesting thought on a different perspective on parenting while sitting in Priesthood class last week at church. Within the past few weeks, Carolyn and I were talking about our kids (of course). And Carolyn was mentioning how you can’t treat kids as “little adults”. Meaning, that you think that you can…

  • Conference talk – Respect and Reverence

    This week’s talk is called “Respect and Reverence“, by Margaret Lifferth, who is in the Primary General Presidency.

Just enough to read one every week till next conference. This week’s talk…

  • Sunday Sacrament meeting

    So as I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been dealing with some kid sickness. Because I have meetings and such that I have to go to church anyways, I went by myself last week. Church is definitely interesting with the no-kid factor in there. So while I was sitting there in sacrament meeting, actually…

  • Return to Virtue

    In my ongoing posts about General conference talks, this week was from Elaine S. Dalton (General Young Women President), called “Return to Virtue” I liked how she talked about how you get desensitized to things, whether it be sex, violence, or whatever.  She also referenced Lehonti and Amalickiah up on the  mountain (which I talked…

  • General Conference talk – Christian Courage: The Price of Discipleship

    So in my continuing series of reading GC talks, I read one from Robert D. Hales (from Idaho!) – Christian Courage: The Price of Discipleship One of the things I liked about this talk was his talking about the perils in leaving “the high ground”. A lot of his talk focused on how to react…
