General Conference Oct. 2010

For the past several weeks I have been listening to General Conference on my phone in the car. I never really have the time to listen to it during the conference weekend, but I regularly catch up later.

As with most recent conferences, the direction is clear and direct: "Here is what you need to do and here is how you do it."

I have not yet finished the entire conference, but a few of the talks have caught hold of my heart. One of these was by Elder Richard G. Scott, labeled "The Transforming Power of Faith and Character".

Towards the end of his talk, Elder Scott refers to "four principles which have brought the deepest feelings of peace and happiness into [his] own life". These struck me when I first heard them.

Later my memory rearranged them when I tried to remember, so that I came out with the following order:

* Faith
* Obedience
* Repentance
* Service

Easy to remember as "FORS". As indeed they should be the driving force behind each and every one of us.

TOTD: Remember how personal the Plan of Salvation is. This world was created for YOU to grow. Yes, God had so much faith in YOU...
