President Monson is incredible. I am so grateful to be alive on the earth when there is a prophet to lead us and guide us. I know that he is God's prophet, and I am grateful to have been able to hear his words this past weekend, as well as the other words that came from our inspired leaders.
I liked President Eyring's plea for unity. It reminds me of how important it is not to be the same but to be one. There is a strength that comes through synergistic combinations of various points. We are a varied and multi-faceted organization of saints, but we are united in our purpose of opposing evil, promoting good, and loving each other. We are the same flock of children, all harkening to the voice of the Shepherd.
I also appreciated greatly the plea of Elder Scott in the Priesthood Session regarding the respect that we MUST have for the faithful women in our lives. As a son, brother, husband, and now father of beautiful, faithful women of integrity, I am overcome with the joy it is to be associated in any way with these precious daughters of our father in heaven. I cannot look into my daughter's eyes and not see the face of God. She is wonderful. All of the women in my life are. I am made a better person because of their faith and example, their strength and power.
And Elder Hamula's talk in the same session reminded me of my son. As men of faith, blessed beyond measure, we have a divine potential and heritage that we often cannot comprehend. It is an exciting time to be alive, to bear the priesthood of our Lord, and to be able to serve and share and grow.
All in all, a fantastic conference. What a great time to be alive! What a privilege to be a member of the Church and Kingdom. Christ lives and loves us. He wants us to grow and love and share. We can! We must!
PS - why is it easier to accept Moses or Noah or Elijah as a prophet, but not now? Don't we need one more now than ever? Aren't our needs just as great now? Has God stopped speaking with man? Who says? As if man could tell God not to speak with man... It's laughable. Could someone explain that to me?
