General RS Meeting

Ok, so I am a bit of a rebel most years and I don't watch this.
But this year, if you can believe it, I did!
And...I enjoyed it.
I have nothing against being spiritual. In fact, I find that I like it. Sometimes I just have this rebellious streak in me that tells me to do something else instead of go to another meeting.
Anyway, here is a quote that I loved from the meeting by Sister Barbara Thompson
"Sisters, now, more than ever we need women to step up and be strong. We need women who declare the truth with strength, faith, and boldness. We need women to set an example of righteousness. We need women to be anxiously engaged in a good cause. We need to live so that our lives bear witness that we love our Heavenly Father and the Savior Jesus Christ and that we will do what They have asked us to do. We need to “rescue all that is finest down deep inside of us” so that as daughters of God we can do our part to build the kingdom of God. We will have help to do this. As Joseph declared, “If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrain’d from being your associates."

Whoa, have I got a lot of work to do!
