  1. "Hostility never persuades." A variant I've heard is that you can't insult someone into being wrong. #ldsconf #generalconference

  2. One of my friends likes to say "need is a strong word". Sometimes we don't know what we actually need, and we confuse wants for needs. It's good for all of us to be self-reflective to tell the difference between the two. #ldsconf #generalconference

  3. Challenges are meant as opportunities to grow. Opting for the easiest life robs you of the opportunity to be your best you. #ldsconf #generalconference

  4. Justice and mercy must be in balance. Leaning too far towards one extreme or the other means you will lose yourself. #ldsconf #generalconference

  5. There is more that unites us than divides us, across cultures and faith traditions. This is what makes the United States unique, an ideal that embraces this pluralism in the most radical way ever in human history. #ldsconf #generalconference

  6. C'mon, guys. It's been long enough that the lyrics should be on the screen when you're expecting us to sing along. #ldsconf #generalconference

  7. We're given opportunities in this life and are expected to rise to the occasion, but we have additional opportunities in the next life. God wants us to succeed, and He will not set us up to fail. #ldsconf #generalconference

  8. One of the best examples of Jesus is that he went out and did the work. He even received baptism not because he needed it, but because he had to be the example. "I am not above the law" is a powerful statement. #ldsconf #generalconference

  9. Remember that Moses called himself "slow of speech" which has been interpreted to mean he had a stutter. He still went on to accomplish great things. #ldsconf #generalconference

  10. We have a very radical form of universalism in which not only do we believe all can be saved, but all are entitled to the direct light of God. As a "peculiar people", we should embrace it! #ldsconf #generalconference

  11. Really leaning hard into "a hospital for sinners, not a rest home for saints". We should be united around a common sense of purpose, a knowledge that we're imperfect but trying, and not any other attribute. Diversity in the Church is good! #ldsconf #generalconference

  12. I think the lesson to take away from Elder Uchtdorf's story is that people always react well to genuine sentiment. Fake stinks. #ldsconf #generalconference

  13. Faith doesn't give me all the answers, but it gives me enough of them. #ldsconf #generalconference

  14. "Without the atonement we cannot save ourselves from sin and death." The deeper lesson I take from that is that we are all to help AND be helped. The latter one we all have so much trouble with. #ldsconf #generalconference

  15. "High on the mountaintop, a badger chased a squirrel..."

    My wife has that one permanently stuck in my head. #ldsconf #generalconference

  16. "We admire Him, but we don't worship Him." Dang, that's a deep cut. #ldsconf #generalconference

    "Many of the Savior's parabolic teachings focus on gathering, restoring, or striving to find that which has been scattered or lost."

    #Parabolic, meaning "using parables"! Very different from the mathematical/geometric concept of Parabolic I normally use.

    Never before has there been such a proliferation of media and facts. Working in a College of Humanities, that's why I've taught #CriticalThought is crucial. But the gospel, Holy Ghost are crucial tools too.
