Prophets of God

I remember when I was younger, perhaps a little younger than Natty is right now.  I remember sitting in front of the TV watching conference and finding myself bored out of my mind.  I had some growing up to do.  Last night as I sat in the Priesthood Session of General Conference I was pondering the meeting and how great each talk was.  They were powerful messages, inspiring and lifting.  I thought to myself how wonderful it was to be in that meeting, to be spiritually fed and to be alert throughout the meeting.  It was a good meeting.  Today the sessions were also quite good.  The entire conference was uplifting and inspiring.  Doctrine was taught powerfully and  by the spirit.  I am grateful for living prophets on the earth. 

I want to note that I quite enjoyed Elder Perry today.  He spoke boldly and it reminded me of a talk he gave many years ago, I think is was actually 20 years ago actually.  In that talk he shared one of my favorite quotes. "What the Lord has declared to be true will always be true.  What he has declared to be right will always be right, rest assured that when the so-called enlightened doctrines of mankind contradict the holy scriptures, they will only bring heartache, disappointment and destruction to the souls of mankind".  That was a favorite to quote on the mission.  Today's talk reminded me of that one from 20 years ago.  It was shared with power and conviction.  I sure love Elder Perry. 

I am grateful for living Prophets on the earth.  I know President Thomas S. Monson is the Lord's prophet on the earth today.  I am grateful for Conference when we can sit at the feet of spiritual leaders and by lifted and strengthened.  I look forward to reviewing these talks over the coming months.
