LDS General Conference is here! The bi-annual women's broadcast was last night. I wrote down a lot of personal notes, but I wanted to share a few favorite parts of the broadcast. Jean Bingham spoke about charity. Cause and effect is a concept that speaks very clearly to me. I liked how her explanation that found hope and strengthened faith are natural results for both givers and receivers of charity. I have experienced this many times and know it to be true.
Carole Stephens spoke of Living Water, Light, and likened the Atonement to medicine with the power to relieve, heal, and comfort us from pain caused by sin, others, and mortality.
I really loved Bonnie Oscarson's choice of words as she calls on women to "inoculate" children against the threats of the adversary and learn to detect deception. The world has a buffet of lies offered for women to believe. I appreciate the trust Sister Oscarson's has in women of Faith to build testimonies and become a force for good that will speak louder than the world.
I felt the Spirit as Deiter Uchtdorf spoke about what faith can and cannot do and received an answer to act on a pending decision I have hesitated to make.
I loved singing I Believe In Christ with millions of women, worldwide, including my mom and daughters sitting beside me. Quincy sang her heart out.
Here we are at our last minute "fancy dinner" at Popeye's chicken. It was just the reset button that we all needed.
