General Conference (Saturday March 31)


This weekend is General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It's like church all weekend long, listening to the modern day prophets about the messages that would help us stay grounded in our topsy turvy world.  

General Conference consists of a two-hour morning and afternoon session on Saturday and Sunday, with a Priesthood session on Saturday evening.  That's 10 hours of sermons!!  You can go to the church building to watch, or if you have cable, you can watch it on Satellite or even via the internet.

Today, I had a chance to watch the "morning session" today and also the priesthood session.  With the advent of Facebook, my Mormon friends and I would post comments of the speakers, of which we'd either "like" their status, or even comment on them.

I'm grateful that we have modern day prophets.  They guide is in these latter-days.  Humans will always be humans, so the struggles we have today are not any different than past eras.  We can easily learn from the scriptures, but how neat it is to listen to living prophets in our current times.  We're gonna need it.
