Great talk by Uchtdorf

Post by _why me »

Enjoy the journey...not the finish line and spend more time with those we love. Good advice for the world today. Much inspiration in that talk.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

Hypothetical corollary talk:

Conference Version: spend more time with family, less time with church.

Conference edition of the Ensign: spend more time with church and the family, but especially the church.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

:rolleyes: See the positive and what it would mean for many people outside the church if they followed what he said.

There were some good advice in that talk. Many people would benefit if they listened to what he had to say and put it into action.

I like President Uchtdorf. He is one of my favorite apostles to listen to. He always gives a good talk, and it is usually about love for your fellow man and family.

Yeah, Why Me. Nobody has ever thought of this before. What a blessing that we have inspired prophets and apostles to come up with these original ideas that never occurred to the non-LDS world.

Common sense, not inspiration. We don't need prophets for this kind of advice.

He is the handsomest.
