I'd like to try something different, using this blog site. Once a week, we'll post an intro and link to one of the most recent conference talks. Please read the talk, and then come back here and comment--just anything that stood out to you, or maybe a response to other comments. My hope it that this can become an engaging exchange of thoughts, encouraging us to revisit the conference messages.
Keep it as simple as you need, commenting only as much as you want and can. The first talk is
"Be of Good Cheer", by President Monson. Click on the link to get to the full talk, press the Back button to get back here.
Oh yes, let's take turns choosing the next talk--let us know in the comments or in email your suggestion for the next talk.
Love,
Dad/Mark
"It would be easy to become discouraged and cynical about the future—or even fearful of what might come—if we allowed ourselves to dwell only on that which is wrong in the world and in our lives. Today, however, I’d like us to turn our thoughts and our attitudes away from the troubles around us and to focus instead on our blessings as members of the Church. The Apostle Paul declared, 'God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.'"Read the rest of the talk.
