We have BYU TV so we are watching Music and the Spoken Word first. The choir is in good form. Jessop truly took the choir to a higher level. I wonder if it can go higher?

You know I was wondering if Conference would be broadcast in HD.

Uchtorf… a decendant of Martin Luther?

If it’s for real, they spend a bunch of cash every 6 months.

I’m enjoying the constant messages – Oaks, and now Christofferson – about constructive and loving engagement with folks who disagree with Mormon doctrine. Oaks quotes Ephesians 4 to great effect, where Paul taught that instead of allowing ourselves to be tossed about by disputation we should speak “truth in love.” Christofferson’s story about being “touched by his concern for me” instead of being offended when a minister expressed fear for his soul was also great stuff.

Christofferson reminds me of Marvin J. Ashton.

I thought she gave a wonderful talk.

Pres. Packer is showing his age.

My wife and I really enjoyed Boyd K. Packer’s talk. He spoke very well. His talk was a wonderful lesson on the role/responsibility of apostleship. It’s interesting to hear someone speak from memory about a personal experience (like that) with Spencer W. Kimball.

Very nice choir arrangement on the closing hymn. Nice, clipped lines.

Interesting press conference by the new YW GP.

A YW shouldn’t be waiting for others to accept her; she needs to reach out and serve and find her own acceptance.
