Hello again, everyone! I thought I had reported on this already, but apparently I haven't. The Church News recently shared two articles about General Conference. This one gave an overview of how President Monson and Elder Hales, who were absent from General Conference, still had a profound effect on the messages given & the events that took place, in addition to sharing messages that verified that, even in these uncertain times, "the best days are yet ahead."
And this article, submitted by retired Church news editor Gerry Avant, who will still be contributing to the Church News in the wake of that retirement, but as "senior contributing editor", talks about the results of President Monson's birthday wishes of the past, as reflected in the words of those who enjoyed General Conference.
That does it for this brief news update. Any comments are welcome and appreciated, as always. For now, thank you for the privilege of your time, and may the Lord bless you all until my next post. Until that time, I wish you all the best.

Church News Publishes Two Articles about General Conference
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.
