There was a time in my life when I would have viewed Saturday general conference as optional, or as an "if I can fit in a few minutes" type of a thing. As I listened today, my pen hardly lifting from the paper, I realized how fortunate I am!!! When I think about all the wonderful nuggets of love, testimonies and counsel, that seemed tailor made for me, I can't imagine having missed it. As I've gotten older, gained a real hunger for the gospel and have a true commitment to living it everyday, not just Sunday, I see the many blessings and teachings I miss when I am not anxiously engaged in the many opportunities the Lord provides for us to hear His words, listen to His counsel, and hear the testimonies of His disciples. What a gift conference truly is, and I would be a fool not to soak up every minute of it. :)
