General Conference thoughts: Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear
by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Back when I was a regular journal writer, in a decade known as the ’90’s, I used to sign off every night with the goal “Love not Fear.” I have long since recognized my tendency to let fear govern my actions instead of love. Continue reading

The Righteous Judge
by Elder Lynn G. Robbins
Below is the link to the General Conference talk by Elder Robbins. Between the link and here I share a few of my personal thoughts on the subject.

It needs to be face to face. And that is no easy feat. I think it’s a talent. A much needed talent this world desperately needs.

Just Give Me a Reason
I really like the song Just Give Me a Reason by Pink and Nate Ruess.
Personally, I like the imagery of “We’re not broken just bent” and the one sided lost love (or is it one sided?). However, as I listened to it I thought that line could also apply to a penitent soul coming to that crux of a changed heart.
