Re: [ZION] the Need for Speed
Your policy sounds really good to me, Bill, and I agree with it. I've never implemented it (and probably never will, since I love to blab) but I agree with it. One o' these days, I'll actually SAY that to a bishop and watch his shocked look. *jeep! ~~Chet (Almost as shocked a look as I get when I say I'm going to quote J.

I actually had the good fortune to be able to take a couple of days off of work and road trip it to SLC from CA to attend the Priesthood session with my 14 and 12 year old sons. What I took away from that session was an overwhelming love and appreciation for Pres. Hinkley. About 10 minutes before the session started, a voice over the PA system asked everyone to take their seats. A hush fell over the crowd, as we eagerly awaited Pres. Hinkley's entrance. About 3 minutes before the session started, he entered. Everyone, in unison, arose and remained standing until he sat down. We stood up out of love and respect for the prophet, not because everyone else happened to be standing also. I had such an overwhelming desire to shake his hand that I actually wondered for a brief second if it was possible to race to the front without getting stopped by security. Needless to say, I'll have to wait for a different occasion to shake his hand. Getting thrown out of conference is not the example I want to set for my boys. My 12 year old asked me if Pres. Hinkley has seen Christ. I said that prophets in the scriptures had, so I assume that modern prophets have also. Quite a concept for a 12 year old to digest. My son wondered if Joseph Smith thought he would see God as an answer to his prayer in the Sacred Grove, or if he went expecting an answer to his question to come the way we receive answers to prayers. Any thoughts? . // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / --^ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.

RE: [ZION] the Need for Speed
Chet, If I were to vote, I would go for Elder Ballard's talk Sunday morning. What better a topic than coming to know our Father in Heaven? Been a long time since I heard the Lectures on Faith quoted. What a beautiful rendition of the encounter of Enoch with the Father. How canst thou weep? How is it? Just finished listening to it again. That is the talk that really reached out and touched my spirit. By the way, the transcripts of the conference talks should be available tomorrow...

(You already know what's coming, don't you?) The bishopric (of our newest ward in Marysville, Michigan) just asked us to give talks on Sunday. Oh, and for Cherie to teach the Gossip Doctrine class. The topic(s)? (Of the talks, not of the GD class!) Either something we learned in General Conference, one of the talks, or on the process of listening and learning from our prophets, seers, revelators, and just plain good ol' folks who spoke to us from that old tree stump that became a podium. So we're sifting through our notes (when we really should be asleep, since we have an early morning tomorrow) and thought we'd ask some of the most Gospel-Wise people we know what they might do after a similar call. To tell the truth, I think this request may be a bit of inspiration. I think I'm supposed to share something I'll hear from one of you. Thanks - in advance - to anyone who is willing to share. Cherie I each wish we could be with each of you in person, having a wonderful time talking about this super conference we experienced last weekend. *jeep! ~~Chet If ya thinks ya is right, ya deserfs credit - even if ya is wrong.
