    “Edward, never look back; look at what we still have to do.” Good advice. Faith is always looking toward the future. What a build and needed observation that in the church today we still show not enough interest in working together to do the Lord’s work and too much interest on other things.

  • Do We Know What We Have?

    When we partake of the sacrament we renew all the covenants we have previously made with Heavenly Father. She is talking about the need for people to have the blessings of the priesthood. Some would argue that this is reason for women to be ordained so that they aren’t dependent on having a righteous husband—that…

    Meekness was one of the most abundant traits in the Savior’s ministry. This story about a man who had to listen to church services through an open window. I didn’t catch why he couldn’t actually enter the building. This was recent so I wonder where in the world it happened.

    He’s talking about conference prostration both for the speakers and the listeners. He takes notes much like I do although the last few conferences I have not had any peace to even pay attention to most of the talks so I haven’t been attuned to much in the way of personal promptings.

    We are under covenant to lift those in need and to bear witness of the gospel of Christ. Once again I hear bits and pieces of a talk that I’m sure has much to offer when I finally sit down and listen to it.

  • “This Is My Work and Glory”

    I like the imagery of reviving the wilting tomato plant. This could easily be a talk for priesthood session. Actually it is appropriate for a general audience, not simply priesthood holders. The work of Jesus Christ is accomplished through the priesthood.

  • The Savior Wants to Forgive

    What a powerful truth, the Savior forgives sins on earth, not just at the final judgement. The Lord is mindful of mortal weakness and recognizes improvement and not simply perfection. This is important with regard to addictive behaviors.

    It sounds like Sister Dalton was raised largely by a single mother because her father died young.

    We must build on a sure foundation in order to survive the tempests of the world today. The proper balance of all the essential ingredients is necessary for concrete to have the strength for its purposes. I like the concepts I have heard here. I can’t wait to listen without distraction.
