Week Links



A friend and I were talking about this, so I re-listened to it. I remember this talk and I thought it was given just a year or so ago. Time moves way too fast. It is such a perfect talk and I have applying it to my prayers all week. We have been trying to work in more prayers of gratitude and I have been so surprised about how much of it a difference it makes. I have always worked harder this week to have my nightly prayers be a follow-up to my morning prayer; a chance to return and report.

Conference prep re-listen talks:
We Are All Enlisted
Providing in the Lords Way
Preparation in the Priesthood...
Dare to Stand Alone
A Witness
Waiting upon the Lord: Thy Will Be Done
Love Her Mother
The Importance of a Name

Just for a quick plug let me say that listening to conference talks again and again is such a powerful thing. I find that I really do hear so many interesting and inspiring new insights, no matter how many times I have heard a particular talk. I imagine it can seem kinda pointless to put something like this in when you are doing other things and listen with your full attention. But, I still learn and feel impressed by so many things that I hear; things that work themselves into my mind, even when it is focused elsewhere. I find that I still get everything done, plus get a little spiritual uplift right in the middle of my day. I feel happier and am more loving and kind in the ways I interact with my coworkers. Above all, no matter what else I am doing or how many gazillion times I have heard a talk or principle, I am always filled with the peace of the Spirit; with another confirmation of the truth of what I am listening to. I feel proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that, in and of itself, is a great way to spend a day.

Back to links.

I will admit that I want these. Admit it, they are kinda charming and would be so awesome in a little bowl in my apartment. Especially, if it gave me more cause to use the exclamation "Aw Nuts" 

Also I stumbled onto Matchbook Magazine this week and found it really enjoyable to flip through. I have always love magazine but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find any with content that I find interesting. Matchbook was pretty fun it has fashion, art, and lots of real people. 

Some silly re-watches I enjoyed this week:

Have a great weekend.

Waiting Upon the Lord....that is such a great one and applicable to all of us. This morning I listened to Pres Uchdorf's Happily Ever After. Such a sweet little talk.
