Top 10 Reasons Why I Love General Conference

Oh, how I love General Conference weekend! Let me count the ways... all Top 10 of them.

#10. I swear that I am much more perceptible to the Spirit when I am not wearing nylons and heels.

#9. When the kids act up, I don't have to walk the hall. I just push 'pause' and yell.

#8. I get to fantasize about being in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir... with my very own camera close-up shot!

#7. I learn new beat patterns and choral conducting techniques as I gaze at "Mack Wilberg The Great!"

#6. I feel my spirituality growing... even as I doze.

#5. I marvel at how a particular address (or "little prophetic epistle") was written and delivered just for ME!

#4. I am reminded that having a living Prophet on the Earth is no small thing--but a miracle and gift from a loving Heavenly Father.

#3. I am reminded of God's purpose, work, and glory as I learn of new missions, members, and temples spreading across the world... and amazed that I am part of His great plan.

#2. I am filled with gratitude for God's guidance in my life.

#1. I turn off the television with a renewed hope, strength, and determination to "Be" an "Do" better. (Thank you President Lynn!)

We do Conference one week later due to time differences and issues so this weekend was our G.C. and can I just say I laughed out loud at your #9? Because we seemed to do a lot of #9 yesterday...
