I tried to watch the LDS General Conference sessions today. I have a hard time sitting still when I’m getting a lecture. I also had to take several long breaks to deal with the needs of the family. Of the four hours I probably managed to watch about a half hour here and there.
One of the things that struck me in the Conference talks was how pessimistic some of our leaders are. They told a tale of a world that is getting increasingly dark and dangerous. The prescription of course is to cling to the church. The former seems to be factually incorrect, and the latter seems to be self serving.
There are two more sessions of Conference tomorrow. A part of me doesn’t even want to watch, but I feel I should. The LDS Church has been my spiritual home for a very long time. I owe a lot to The Church. But like so many other debts I don’t see a good way to repay it. I love the Book of Mormon but sadly being a Saint doesn’t motivate me.
