General Conference

It is time once again to have the opportunity to listen to General Conference. I love it when General Conference falls on Easter. I can't think of a better way to feel of the Spirit, and to celebrate the gift of the resurrection and the other gifts the Savior has given us. General Conference gives un opportunity to hear of the testimonies of our prophet, apostles, and other church leaders. I appreciate their warnings, their guidance, and their counsel. Many people walk away from conference feeling uplifted, recharged, synegized, ready to continue in the straight and narrow path. They are grateful to be reminded of their responsibilities, and not only reminded, but are recommitted to try to live their life a little better.

There is always a few who walk away dissappointed, critical of the speakers or topics, and find it difficult to receive the messages. In most of my experiences this group of people find the truth to be harsh, simply because they don't want to live some aspect of the gospel of Christ. It can be challenging to do what is right, but as live the gospel as is, without wanting to make changes, we grow, we progress, and we become more like God. But that is the whole point of the gospel. I love it!
