Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

Conference Quotes Saturday

Wow!  I just love General Conference.  I am so grateful for these 2 days of help and hope and inspiration.  I really really am grateful for DVR so that I can rewind repeatedly so I can write down what I hear.

The adversary is busy extending his coverage through cell phones, video games, and Ipods. True love must include the idea of permanance.

The only real control is self control.
More than man has been saved from sin or stupidity by remembering the face of his mother, his wife, or his child waiting for him somewhere for him at home. 
Whatever thoughts you may have make sure that they are there in your heart by invitation only.
We need to work a little harder at remembering Him.  Especially that He has born our griefs and carried our sorrows.  That He was bruised for our iniquities and by His stripes we are healed. 
Everytime we transgress we hurt those we love but we also hurt Him who so dearly loves us.
We can reject the evil one.  If we want it deeply and dearly enough, that enemy can and will be rebuked by the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
