President Hinkley, Priesthood Session:
I am reading all the talks listed for us and enjoying taking the time to think about spiritual things and bring the spirit close to me but don't have a lot of comments to share. I loved this talk to the men, not like the women don't have problems, but how he addressed several issues so commonplace in society and how the priesthood of God does not belong there. He addressed the seriousness of pornography and the deep pit of sorrow and addiction for those who fall into it and addressed things as minor as wearing "slouchy" clothing and how you speak and act the way you dress. I just think it's always nice to be reminded what a special privlidge it is to have the knowledge that we have and to hold the preisthood. To have the power of God in your hands if you are willing to be humble and righteous. I could just feel the power of God in President Hinkley as he cries out the men of this generation to stand up and be strong in this world of increasing wickedness. We need that power more than ever and it can only be held by righteous men of God. It made me want to do better at supporting the men in my life and helping them in their efforts. Sometimes I complain when Kimball is working on church things and I have to put the kids to bed or when I see him reading the Ensign or scriptures because somehow that belittles me because I am not doing it. And yet I am so grateful for his love of the Lord and his continual efforts to draw closer to the Savior because I know it blesses our family and I know his a blessing and example to so many.
