October 2014 LDS General Conference
Saturday AM Session
President Monson: Welcome to Conference
Elder Boyd K. Packer: Repentance and the Atonement of Jesus Christ
Elder Robbins: Which Way are you Facing?
Sister Esplin: Sacrament
Hymn: Guide Us O Thou Great Jehovah
Elder Chi Hong Wong: Church Members Working Together in Rescue Assignment (Cantonese)
Elder D. Todd Christofferson: Every Subject's Soul is His Own
Choir
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf: Our Ability to See
He reiterated a message from Elder Packer about "facing the right way".
And he talked about those in Lehi's dream who pointed their fingers in scorn, causing the faithful to stumble and fall away in their feeling of shame.
When others demand approval in defiance of God’s commandments, we must always keep in mind that we are striving to be disciples of Christ, and which way we should face.
I have abandoned my attempt to take notes while watching the Conference broadcast. This has been my custom for years.
Not up to that kind of multitasking any more, I'm afraid. I didn't even follow through with transcribing my notes onto my blog from last April. My capacity seems to be progressively diminishing little by little.
Sorry. Makes me feel sad to realize. It might be easier to simply pass on, than linger in my malingering. Nevertheless, I will keep doing what I can, until I can't.

Elder Robbins was specially inspirational for me today.

President Deiter F. Uchtdorf: Lord, is it I?
President Henry B. Eyring: Priesthood Probationary State to Prepare
President Thomas S. Monson: Steering the Course
Missionary Choir: Ye Elders of Israel
President Uchtdorf's message hit hard, for me. Really hard. I need to review it when it is published.
Lord, Is It I?
I fear that it is...
I was impressed that Sister McConkie reiterated that faithful women in the Church support Church leaders. It struck me as a direct refuting of the "Ordain Women" challenge.

President Eyring made several references to his involvement in the Teton Dam Disaster in 1976. Hearing recalled some tearful memories - I was there too.

Stay in the Boat - Elder Ballard.
Such a timely and appropriate message.
I am still trying to figure out exactly how this counsel dovetails with Elder Oaks' admonition for greater civility.
Another marvelous Conference, giving me a lot of cause for personal reflection.
I will ponder these things in my heart...
