Snap Back to Reality

I love this talk from Elder Bednar. This whole virtual world has been a huge deal for the past decade, but I've noticed that since I have been in Tennessee, there is an even more emphasis on having the "hip, up-to-date, new" devices in the technology world. I loved that Elder Bednar talked about using these great devices to "build the church." I don't wanna say too much about this video, because the two questions that Elder Bednar proposed are thought provoking enough....

I aslo liked this article that was linked to this video: https://lds.org/youth/article/getting-real?lang=eng

I hope that all of us can "Get Real," see things as they really are, and to snap back to REAL reality. I love the scripture in Jacob 4:13, "Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also spake them unto prophets of old." I hope all of us can put away the worldly things and focus on the voice of the Spirit; for the things that He speaks, things as they really are, are things of eternal value.

I Stand All Amazed....at snapping back to reality, with the Spirit.

Pep Talk Anyone?

So, I loved General Conference. Just sayin. How lucky we are to have the opportunity to hear from living prophets and apostles. All the talks that were given were outstanding. This past conference has been one of my favorites. Probably because back at home I would just pass out on the floor, but that is besides the point. Haha I remember my Mama would yell at me when President Hinckley would get up to speak. "Brennan! Wake up! The Prophet is speaking." So, in a daze, half asleep, I would listen to President Hinckley. I love that man. I know that he is engaged in a fantastic work on the other side. So, like I said, I loved all the talks that were given, but if I had to narrow down my top ones they would be, Elder Christofferson's talk on repentance, Elder Callister's talk on the Book of Mormon, Sister Dalton's talk on how to raise a daughter, and then Elder Holland's talk that he gave in the Priesthood session on needing more missionaries. I also hear that President Uchtdorf's talk in the Relief Society General Meeting on "Forget Me Not" was way good too. So, I would encourage anyone to re-watch those talks I listed, but I want to post Elder Holland's talk. He is such a fiery speaker! I love how bold and up front he is. Can you imagine him as one of your life coaches? Haha well, that is exactly what he is! I hope you get the same chills that I did as I heard him speak.
