Gen. Conference - Day 2


Today was Day 2 of General Conference weekend. Another GREAT day of inspiration! A few notes from the day's talks...

If you're judging others..."STOP IT!" and (bumper sticker) "Don't judge me because I sin differently than you." -- Pres. Dieter Uchtdorf

"Our degree of gratitude is a measure of our love of God." -- Russell M. Nelson

"If you came upon a person drowning, would you ASK him if he needs help?"-- Randall Ragsband(?)

"Study 'Daughters in my Kingdom,' and let it influence your lives."  -- Julie B. Beck

In decisions among the brethren, "the objective is not concensus, but revelation from God."  -- D. Todd Christofferson

"Learn what is really important, and what is merely trivial" and act accordingly. -- President Thomas S. Monson

"A tool more remarkable than the GPS is the prompting of the Holy Spirit."  -- M. Russell Ballard

"We are able to do hard things when our vision is grounded in the Savior."  -- O. Vincent Hallick

"Wise parents prepare their children to get along without them."  -- Larry Y. Wilson

 "When your faith is challenged, rely on previous sacred experiences" to remember the power of God.  -- Paul B. Piper

While it is important that others recognize our Christianity, the most important thing is "What thinks Christ of me?"-- Neal A. Andersen

"The gospel of Jesus Christ provides answers to life's greatest questions." -- President Thomas S. Monson

"May you ponder the truths you've heard today, and may they help you become even better than you were." -- President Thomas S. Monson

Our friends, Christine & Katie Parris came over for dinner between sessions, and we enjoyed their company and discussions of the previous sessions.

It was another great day, and a much needed respite from every day. My cup was feeling pretty empty, and it's feeling much fuller now.

Great quotes. Isn't it great how the spirit and encouragement from our church leaders flip the measure of our cups in our favor?
