The General Women's Session of conference was held tonight. The addresses were wonderful, and I learned so much. You may ask, how did my predictions for that session turn out? Well, I correctly predicted that President Uchtdorf, Bonnie L. Oscarson, and Carole M. Stephens would speak in the order they did. Instead of Sister Bonnie H. Cordon, Second Counselor, Jean B. Bingham, First Counselor spoke from the Primary Presidency. I also corrected predicted that Linda K. Burton would conduct the session. With five slots to be filled, and with my system of calculating my progress, I am giving myself 3 points each for the 4 things I corretly predicted. I will call my prediction about Sister Cordon worth one point, as she did participate in the session by giving the benediction, and at least I correctly predicted she would take part in the session. I just didn't know it would be this way.
So, how'd I do? 13/15=87% accurancy, which is better than my usual average. But there will be more numbers to add to that once general conference weekend concludes. I still anticipate that I will be around my 60-80% accuracy rate.
Hope I didn't bore anyone with this post. I just wanted to share these results. Thanks for your readership and friendship!

How my predictions for the General Women's Session panned out
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
