Today's session started with a bang - Elder Uchtdorf started things off with a powerful plea for us to take action; a reminder that this church and our testimonies are not "spectator sports". (He looks a little more natural today - somebody must have talked to his makeup person!) A little later the message was given that it's time for all of us to "get on with our lives"... It's like they knew I'd be listening today and wrote the messages just for me! Elder Holland (one of my favorite speakers ever since I had the opportunity to see him literally pound the pulpit during an address at the MTC) gave a deeply moving message about the Savior, His Atonement, and the necessity that we never betray or abandon Him as He was betrayed and abandoned - and to remember that He and Heavenly Father will never betray or abandon us.
A couple of little kids running around this session - might be disctracting, but they're so stinkin' cute it doesn't really matter. The adults are a little chattier - we've all got computers or other projects though, so it never gets really noisy. All about multi-tasking, my family.
I'm still full from last night's dinner - I even broke out the dessert I didn't eat then to nosh on for breakfast, and only made it halfway through.
I'll be waiting for this Conference to come out on DVD - I have every intention of watching and re-watching these sessions to remind me of the things I need to be doing, and to help me stick to my resolutions. (Kathy, this has been a very interesting Conference for me - it's been very very good in regards to that one thing. The big one.)
One more session to go - in the meantime, we'll eat; I'll get my taxes done (Dad's OK with doing it on Sunday since he doesn't intend to charge me); I'll make cookies (the Careers class has been great, again); I'll work on lesson plans; and I'll finish up the photo CD for Rules of Comedy. Oh, and I'll go for a walk. For at least a little while, there's sunshine today. Appropriate.
