Conference Week-end





Conference week end in Salt Lake City is a most singular event. Thousand descend on the Conference Center for the bi-annual gathering seeking guidance, direction, and inspiration. With Brigham & Evan we were able to attend Saturday morning and Saturday night’s sessions in the Center. Like any event center type activity people were looking for seats with their signs hoping to gain admission, the difference being no cash is exchanged. The themes I identified which most resonated with me were: Loving our god, families and neighbors in a meaningful and significant way coupled with the flip side of avoiding anger and contention; following the spirit in all things particularly the need to be independently in tune in our rapid pace, rapidly changing world.; and recognizing the reality of God..

Going to the priesthood session Saturday night and to dinner afterward was a delight. Though I enjoyed the additions of Oliver and Ben; I dearly missed Blair, Parker and my own dear Dad.
