There are times when this year seems to be moving slow. Those times happen to be when I find myself strapped to this here computer for my online math class. Then there are moments like just now when I realized that there is an hour until we are in the month of April and I am shocked by just how fast the time is going. It is a wonderful thing. Hopefully the month of April will disappear quickly as the end of April represents the end of the semester and I am ready to be done. I think it is the math that is wearing me out big time right now. The time commitment alone for that is overbearing and since math simply is not my favorite subject it makes that time commitment even more painful. I am glad that I am pushing through it and learning things and that is obviously worth something. It just isn't a subject I find a lot of personal satisfaction in.
April is a month I look forward to with great anticipation as it is time for General Conference once again. I love conference and am excited to hear the Prophet and other leaders of the church speak. There is great power that comes into my life as I review these topics and try to learn from them over the course of the next 6 months. In fact this morning I just finished listening the the October conference once again. There are powerful lessons of a lifetime from men and women I love. Any who know the last talk of the October conference was given by Elder Bednar and in his message he shared powerful lessons of a lifetime that he has learned from members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve that have passed over the course of the last eleven years that he has served in the Twelve. That is what I reviewed today and it is a message that I loved hearing. I look forward to the talks that will be shared over conference on the 2nd and 3rd. I look forward to the stories, the testimonies and the spiritual insights. I look forward to the things the Lord wants me to know. As I have gotten older and learned to listen a little better, I have found so much more in conference that I need to hear, things that uplift and strengthen my resolve to carry on and press forward even when it seems so hard to do so.
Well, now it is 37 minutes until April. Looking forward to it.
