Fwiw, I hate Gospel and church kitch. That is all.
He just mentioned the sealed portion. Joni, I love the irony. 😆 Old Timer wrote:There is plenty to cause some concern. Not including the sealed portion in that talk is not one of them.
No worries, it’s being covered now.

It was an attempt at humor. Sorry. I’ll see myself out.
Elder Christofferson – God’s love is not described in scripture as “unconditional,” but raither as great, wonderful, redeeming, perfect, everlasting, and infinite. God doesn’t save us in our sins; he saves us from our sins.
I like the part about Helen Keller’s parents being content to just have her civilized, but Sullivan knew she could do more.
No, Joni, please don’t leave. Humor is hard to translate, which is why the laughing emoticon is such a blessing. 🙂 Seriously, please forgive me. I didn’t mean to offend, and I obviously missed the humor. That is my fault totally.
Who spoke after Elder Christofferson? I think it’s just as well that I didn’t catch it. I caught a whiff of “don’t draw your own conclusions.” It’s all good. I’ll try harder to remember to use the emojis when I’m trying (however badly) to be funny. Ann wrote:Who spoke after Elder Christofferson? I think it’s just as well that I didn’t catch it.

Elder Bassett. Yeah, it was a lot of the “trusting God means trusting church versions of history” spiel.
There was some good stuff about trusting God and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, though.
I served in the Sapporo, Japan mission. Elder Yamashita is a good man. One other fact about Mary Rollins (thanks, Wikipedia): she lived longer than any of Joseph Smith’s other wives, dying at the age of 95 in 1913. It blows my mind that Joseph Smith’s last widow died a year before World War I began!I don’t know if that’s interesting to anyone else, but it is to me. Joni, like Dallin Oaks being born in the house of a beloved aunt – a woman who had lived polygamously. They aren’t far removed from it. Old Timer wrote:I served in the Sapporo, Japan mission.

While I don’t think missionaries should run themselves into the ground, that story of Elder Cowan was powerful.Welp, now I know what 1st and 4th Sunday PH lessons are going to be about for the next 3 months. (missionary work) I’ve actually prayed and fasted several times to have missionary experiences, and didn’t have any. I’ve honestly made my peace with it. I think it’s just not one of my spiritual gifts.
