Elder Anderson – about “overcoming the world.” What exactly does the phrase mean? Maybe he’ll answer Yeah, this talk isn’t doing it for me. How bad can the world REALLY be? Didn’t God create it?
Evidently “overcoming the world” means keeping our promises and loving the 3-hour block. This one also isn’t doing much for me. “The happiness of our spouse is more important than our own pleasure.” I like this. Good talk so far. Focusing on turning outward towards others. Simple loving others message. Chips with your sandwich anyone? A cold coke to wash it down? Oops spoke too soon. We should all apparently log off now. DT – Take the best line and work with that. Leave the rest to chaff. Drat. Was driving during Holland’s talk. I’m anxious to read the transcript. DoubtingTom wrote:

I like that too, accept that church callings always took precedence over spending time with wife or family in our ward. It almost destroyed our marriage.

We have GOT to stop perpetuating the idea that if you pay your tithing instead of feeding your children, everything will be okay. That is FALSE.
So agree Joni.
Missing most of Ballard’s talk with crying 2 year old but I like the idea of how important goals are and striving to plan our actions towards achieving those goals. Even if some of my goals are different than the church’s, the concept still holds true. I like this part about doing a “private personal review” as we know ourselves best. Can this PPR permanently replace the PPI? Yes. Literally. You don’t have to go to PPIs. Quote:Yes. Literally. You don’t have to go to PPIs.
Deal.
Thanks everyone. I hope it’s a great rest of your day.
