General Conference ended today. It was wonderful. Life gets so busy, insignificant things fill my mind everyday. Conference jolts me back into reality. Reality:
- Heavenly Father loves ME
- I have something, a lot actually, to share with my friends and neighbors = Love.
- I need to serve more, both in action and word.
- As I take time to listen to the Spirit in my daily life, and ignore the urgent "rush" from the world around me, I can be happy and encourage those around me to be happy too.
The doctrine taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has brought nothing, NOTHING, but happiness in my life. I am so thankful to be able to count myself as a member of that church, but I am more grateful to call myself a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. I hope, after what I have learned and been reminded of during this conference, I can be kinder to everyone I come in contact with. I hope I can eliminate "garbage" from my life...all the extraneous stresses that remove my focus from my family and from my faith. I hope I can attend the temple more often. I hope I can share my love of the Savior with everyone I know.
I invite everyone who reads my blog to read, watch, or listen to the transcripts of General Conference when they are available.
I am thankful for a living Prophet and for his careful and relevant guidance in a world of treacherous pathways.

Dear Sarita:
I want to say amen and amen to your beautiful comments. I am so grateful to have a daughter like you that is able to recognize the amazing and true teachings that we just received from true prophets who are faithful followers of Christ. Like you I was inspired to become a better person, more loving patient and compassionate in all I do and say.
Love,
Mama
I feel like Im in my old Boston ward where Brother Birham would yell AMEN if he agreed with what someone was saying from the pulpit. I LOVE conference and I feel like it makes me centered in life again. I LOVE all the points you mentioned but the Sara I know does a great job on the love and friendship part. Don't you just wish we had conference all the time??
