General Conference

I wasn't sure how it would go watching General Conference today.  Chad is at a school conference all day, so it's me and Cameron.  How was I supposed to keep him quiet for two hours (at least quiet enough for me to hear something)?  But he did pretty well.  We had a picnic on the floor and just hung out on the couch and did puzzles, etc.

I'm very grateful for General Conference.  Each time conference season comes around, I have mixed feelings.  We watch or listen to it on the internet and many times fall asleep.  As Cameron has gotten older (yet not old enough to do big-kid activities to keep him occupied), it's been a lot harder to pay attention.

But I felt a sense of renewal today, even just hearing bits and pieces of the first session.  If you've never listened to it, here's a link.  I'm always amazed by how inspired the leaders of the church are.  The economy is on everyone's minds and I know a lot of people are worried.  A lot of the talks during the first session were about being prepared and not fearing.  It gave me some hope to know that Heavenly Father is aware of me and knows my struggles and what I worry about.
