The Mormon Faith & General Conference

This weekend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be holding their semi-annual General Conference.  During these meetings modern-day prophets and apostles will speak.  If you would like to listen or watch, go here: lds.org.

You might also like to know some statistics regarding our faith.

I love belonging to this church.  I feel that because of its teachings, and because I try to live them, that I am a better person than I would be without them.  Am I perfect?  Absolutely not.  Do I try to be better?  Yes.

I invite you to listen to what will be taught this weekend.  There are sessions on both Saturday and Sunday.

Have a fabulous weekend no matter what you do!

General Conference Study

I was perusing some of my favorite blogs the other day and saw a picture that just made my heart happy.  I don't know if it was the different colors that had been used, or the fact that my scriptures are beginning to look a little like this and I had just never thought of doing this with my conference edition of the Ensign - but I almost got giddy! 

See what I mean?  Looking at this Ensign just makes me happy!  I'm thinking a lot of personal revelation is happening with this kind of study of the talks from our prophets and apostles.  I don't know about you - but I could use some personal revelation right now.  There is something weighing heavy on my heart and I can't resolve it on my own.  I need some help. 

If you would like to feel the peace that comes from listening to modern-day prophets and apostles, I invite you to listen to the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend.  Saturday and Sunday.  You can find the link here: and check on General Conference.  You can stream it on your computer, you can listen, or you can print off written transcripts of the talks that are given.  

I found this wonderful picture here:  and I think you should check it out.  You can download printables to help you study and take notes while conference is happening.  I think I'll just wait for my Ensign to come and will mark it up with pretty colors.  I may buy my markers tonight when I go shopping.  Thank you 'Simple Inspiration' blog.....I love your Ensign!

And - if you want to make Conference a time of celebration - check out this blog post from Emily Freeman found here.  I'll give you a hint:  it involves candy!  I'm all in!

Have a great week and a fabulous weekend.

General Conference

I am so looking forward to General Conference in a couple of weeks!  I love being taught at the feet of apostles and prophets.  I used to read the New Testament and couldn't imagine not sitting at the feet of the Savior to be taught.  And yet, now, it is so easy to be distracted by the 'things' going on in the world that sometimes I forget that these men are His spokesmen on the earth today.  They have priesthood authority and they have the direction that I need in my life RIGHT NOW.....why not set aside the world for a few hours and soak it all up!
