As you can see, President Uchtdorf's two talks in the main sessions were the longest, followed closely by President Eyring's two talks from the main sessions. All four of those addresses spanned around 20 minutes each, which has been typical for First Presidency members. Most of the talks by members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spanned 14 minutes at shortest to just over 16 at the longest, and President Eyring's address from the General Women's Session was about the same length. Elder Hales spoke for just over 11 minutes, which has been typical for his talk lengths in the recent past. The Sustaining of Church Officers usually spans between 5 minutes (in October) to 10+ minutes (in April). And President Monson, as before noted, spoke for a combined total of less than 10 minutes between his two addresses, which has also been very typical.
So there you have it. A first for this blog that I hope at least a few of you will find interesting. Thanks for reading this.

Post a Comment
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.
