We finished up a wonderful weekend of the 183rd general conference today. I feel like the combination of Quentin L. Cook and Richard G. Scott's talks were something I needed to hear, but here are some other thoughts I enjoyed:
Boyd K. Packer
- we need to protect our nest - the adversary can find its way into our homes
- each of us must stay in conditions to receive inspiration
Elaine S. Dalton
- young women need mothers and mentors to exemplify righteous spirits
- we need media that will ennoble and enable instead of media that objectifies and degrades
M. Russel Ballard
- if your testimony is less than what you know it should be, turn to the light of Christ
Richard G. Scott
- regardless of your circumstance, you can put Christ at the center of your home
- your potential can be destroyed if you yield to the corrupt environment around you
- "recognize the good in others, not their stains."
Quentin L. Cook
- "the Savior's love can blot out hate. Judgement is the Lord's."
- "God is not the author of confusion, but the author of peace."
Stanley G. Elis
- if we do not what He says, we have no promise - so if we feel disappointed or betrayed by the Lord, chances are we weren't doing what He has commanded
- bloom where we are planted
John B. Dickson
- have very little of what matters least, but have much of what matters most
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
- the darkness exists, but you don't have to dwell there
- sometimes it takes an act of faith - you can't sit in the darkness waiting for someone to come switch the light on
Thomas S. Monson
- not once did Nephi fail to do what the Lord asked of him, and millions have been blessed because of his actions
Jeffrey R. Holland
- even if you have only a desire within you, let that desire work until it turns into faith
- when facing the challenge of faith, hold the ground you have already won - hold fast to what you already know
Dallin H. Oaks
- the teachings of Jesus were never theoretical - they were meant to be acted upon
