Sat PM General Conference Session

Elder Hales: Discipleship (He is looking very frail.)

A state of being, with Christ’s characteristics woven into our being like a tapestry. (list of attributes)

Mastering an attribute in action only does not equal a changed heart.

Don’t conquer a list; attribute must be interwoven within us.

I like that he defines virtue explicitly as more than sexual purity and as a power. That is true to the original meaning.

This is a solid talk.

The camera pulled away at the end of his talk. I assume someone helped him back to his seat.

Elder Holland: Talk is about difficult times when we can’t feel like celebrating, focused on:

“Jesus listening can hear the songs we cannot sing.”

I love that concept.

Stand as close as possible to the Savior, who has perfect pitch.

When the God of Love is near, the dove of peace sings in our heart.

All God’s critters have a place in God’s choir.

All voices must be heard. Diversity is good. He is reframing Elder Wirthlin’s talk, “Concern for the One”.

God wants us to sing in our own voice. Don’t stop singing. The loss of even one voice diminishes every other choir, in,cuing those who feel they are on the margins of the Church.

We need to eliminate poverty to help others be able to sing of sunshine in the soul.

I am stopping with the notes for a while. I want to listen. I love this talk.
