General Conference

This last weekend I was able to watch General Conference.  This is a conference held over 2 days that is broadcast and available over the internet.  Prophets of God speak to us the word of God so that we might know His will for us and do it.  There were a couple of talks given that included the message that God gives commandments and they don't change, even if the ways and laws of man do over time.  It was comforting to me to have this reminder, especially with all the changes occurring in the world these days.  It is nice to know that God is constant, even if nothing else is and that I can rely on Him always.  Another message I heard was that we need to stand firm in living our religion and standing up for what we know and believe is right.  This may be hard to do in a world where people are departing from living a lot of good principles and commandments.  Commandments that are given to help us to be happy and live successful lives.  I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to listen to this conference twice a year and I look forward to it when it comes up.  I know that God lives and that He cares about all of His children all over the world, regardless of their beliefs or ways of life.

There were a lot of topics spoken on during the conference.  Here is a link to watch or listen to it online:
