Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship

DC 76:25

And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,

General Conference

The True, Pure, and Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ

M. Russell Ballard

"Loving God and loving our neighbors is the doctrinal foundation of ministering, home-centered, Church-supported learning; Sabbath-day spiritual worship; and the work of salvation."

It was an absolutely beautiful spring day in the 60's. Best of all, there was no wind. I know this but didn't really experience it except for looking from the inside out. My day was spent watching general conference and working on catching up this blog.

Here is how conference went today:

It was an inspiring and faith-filled day. 

During Elder Gong's talk a stained-glass picture of the Savior holding a sheep came up on the screen. This exact stain-glassed is in the foyer of the Snowflake temple. Recently we had a visitor to the temple that James spoke to. He was touring the temples in the United States looking for this stained-glass picture which is also in the Provo City Center temple. When he walked into the Snowflake temple on this particular Saturday he looked at the picture and said, "There it is I have been looking everywhere, and here it is."  

The only changes for this conference came a few days before conference regarding the blessing and baptism of children of gay couples. It was a decision rescinding a policy made in 2015 and was done as, I believe, an act of love.

James gave me the bunny report first thing this morning and brought two of them inside for me to see.

 See they will be going out into the lone and dreary world.

The smaller ones are pretty mild.

 I wish we could keep one.

 I know, I'm obsessed!
It's my personality.

She listened to President Nelson,
then it was time for a nap, and then,

 a ride on her horse.

A Hallmark movie to end the day.
