Many of you know this was General Conference weekend for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every six months we are able to receive guidance from the prophet and our other leaders. There's no assigned theme or topic, but it usually seems that one or two evolve over the weekend. I noticed the two great commandments (Love God and Love your neighbor) we're discussed several times.
I also always have a few little quotes that speak more loudly to me than others might. Sometimes they make me laugh, sometimes they give me a new perspective, and sometimes they are a reminder for me. Here's a few from this conference.
"We can rationalize all we want, but the fact is, there is not a right way to do the wrong thing." - Becky Craven
"As for punctuality, a late pass will always be lovingly granted to those blessed mothers who, with children and Cheerios and diaper bags trailing in marvelous disarray, are lucky to have made it to church at all. Furthermore, there will be others who unavoidably find their ox in the mire on a Sabbath morning. However, to this latter group we say an occasional tardiness is understandable, but if the ox is in the mire every Sunday, then we strongly recommend that you sell the ox or fill the mire." -Jeffrey R. Holland
"Feasting upon the scriptures is not just reading them. It should bring us real joy and build our relationship with the Savior." - Takashi Wada
Fortunately, Ron is doing marginally better. He is once again able to swallow a small amount of liquid (he's counting ice cream as a liquid). Hopefully we can get the weight loss under control again.
We saw this on one of the ferry trips and thought it was pretty funny for some reason.
We have had a few good rain showers interspersed with brilliant sunshine. I am so grateful we get to hang out at home for the next week or so. I am hoping to get a good chunk of yard stuff done this week before the next bout of running between medical appointments.
