Thoughts on General Conference

posted by Curt, on October 8, 2007 08:11 am

Another General Conference has come and gone. It seems like it happens faster every year. I really enjoyed Conference, of course (even though I must admit to falling asleep during the Sunday Morning Session). I really enjoyed the talks of my usual favorites--Elder Holland, Elder Eyring, Elder Bednar, and Elder Oaks. I also enjoyed Elder Cook's, Elder Scott's and Elder Hallstrom's talk. I thought that the most poignant moment in the conference was when Elder Wirthlin struggled to finish his talk and Elder Nelson came to help him through it. As far as themes are conerned, I noticed quite a bit of caution against procrastination--especially in Priesthood Session. I also remember feeling that there was quite a bit of focus on being born again. Of course, until I go back and read through the conference talks, I can never be sure whether my characterization of themes is accurate, or just based on the strength of my feelings relating to one particular message.

In any event, it was a great conference weekend and strengthened my resolve to be a little better. Now, it's back to the contention of the law .
