October Conference

Wasn't conference awesome!!! My batteries were recharged and I feel prodded to be better. For me this conference taught me the basics. Have faith, repent, read my scriptures and just open your mouth. I loved Elder Holland's message to the priesthood. In a word AMAZING!

It was my son's first time to go with me to the priesthood session. I kept telling him that they were speaking to him. I could not help but think it is time to stand up, stand out and be happy.

We are at war. That was made very clear to me. We have casualties of that war all around us. It is our job to be savior's on mount Zion. We are to be ever vigilant and help where we can. Serve our fellow man to the best of our ability and then strive to be and do a little more. Lengthen our stride.

I needed this time to feel the spirit and to put things into perspective. That is what conference did for me. Some specific thoughts that were directed to me:  time management and never neglecting my family. The greatest treasure in my life is my sweet wife. She makes me push forward. she is my rock. I am sooooo grateful for her and the effort she gives day in and day out! My children also need me to be a blaring example of what is right and good. In a crazy, spun out of control world, it is ever important to be there to be the first line of defense. There is only one thing that will stand out louder than words and that is action.
