Twittering General Conference

This weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year -- General Conference weekend.  Most of regular life comes to a halt as we gather together to sit in front of the TV to listen to the words of our Church leaders. We are blessed to have BYUtv out here in the part of the mission field where we live.  We can enjoy each broadcasted session.  We can soak in all of the spiritual nourishment we are feed right in our own home.  It is a blessing.

Many of the talks this time have been about peace and hope.  I have already started a list of those talks I want to listen to again as soon as they are up on lds.org.  I am anxious to absorb these teachings deeply.

Some of the other counsel that hit close to my heart are:

"Why not choose a time each day to disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other?" Sister Wixom

"To speak to a child's heart, we must know a child's needs" SisWixom

"Pray to your Heavenly Father. This is His work. He will guide you in what to do." Elder Andersen on missionary work

"Our l hope is in Jesus Christ. He is the powerful entrance into the light.Darkness will not gain victory over the light of Christ." President Uchtdorf

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf: "Darkness cannot stand before the brilliant light of the Son of the living God"

"Never do or say anything that approaches the appearance of impropriety" Elder Clayton

Elder L. Whitney Clayton: Marriage is a gift from God to us. The quality of our marriages is a gift from us to Him.

Elder Perry - We need to be reminded of the commandments. Secularism is beginning to become the norm.

'If you are to be a man and live abundantly -- then live God's law #ElderPerry

Elder Perry "Choice of liberty or captivity is the consequence of obeying or disobeying God's law.

For man to substitute his laws for the laws of God on either side of life its the height of sin - Elder Perry

The restored gospel of Jesus Christ, it's stakes, ward, families and individual members do not waiver.  Stand Firm!  Elder Perry

"Life would be simpler for all of us if we would obey such rules completely." Pres. Monson

A knowledge of truth and answers to our greatest questions come to us as we are obedient to the commandments of God - Pres. Monson

Rules and laws are there to protect our physical and spiritual safety.

From a Prophet of God The Lord requires a heart and a willing mind.

In conclusion: Obedience brings peace and happiness not only in this life but in the world to come.

This is something I need to hold tightly to over the next few day.
