For Family Home Evening each week, Mark and I sit down together and watch a Conference talk. We are nearly to the end of this last General Conference - which makes it clear that it's almost time for another set of talks! I am excited that it's coming up so quickly.
It's interesting to see Pres. Monson as the prophet -- because it's so clear that he is. He's always been a favorite of mine but now he is acting and speaking as our prophet. Pres. Monson is full of inspiration and wisdom and this little quote is one of my favorites - it's a short little statement of fact that, if we could remember it, would probably change many of our lives.
"Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right." ~Thomas S. Monson
Since I'm someone who likes to be right, I'd better start listening.
