  • 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.…

  • Conference talk – The way of the disciple

    So continuing on my series of General Conference talks – this week it was by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, called “The way of the Disciple“. A few quotes. It is not enough merely to speak of Jesus Christ or proclaim that we are His disciples. It is not enough to surround ourselves with symbols of our…

  • Increases in children of record

    So, in my continuing series on General Conference talks, this week I decided to combine the Sustaining of Church Officers, the Auditing report, and the Statistical report. I always find the statistical reports interesting (of course I do!) One thing that was interesting to me was the difference this year in the increase of children…

  • 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 as a note, I don’t put a blog post each week when I read talks (though maybe I should!) But sometimes I don’t feel like anything jumped out at me. It’s not like the talk was…

  • I demanded a new apostle song, and they delivered!

    So, as you may remember, back in December when Joseph B. Wirthlin died, I posted a “demand” for a new apostle song. I was actually surprised that more Mormon-themed blogs did not at least mention the fact that a new apostle song was needed. But in any case, this afternoon I got a comment on…

  • 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…

  • General Conference talks

    So one of the things I’ve been doing since last General Conference is reading the talks, one at a time. Someone in EQ suggested that if you read one per week you get through them in time to start over for the next conference (in 6 months time). Turns out that there are actually 33…
