General Conference Afterthought

1. Favorite quote: My son, Ryan, told me that he really likes President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's definition on humility-"humility is not thinking less of yourslef but thinking less about yourself."

2. It's a good idea to make resolutions right after every general conference because you just heard the Lord's counsels from His servants, and you know you need to work on one or two things.

3. It pays to have righteous desires. President Henry B. Eyring related his experience. Years ago President Ezra Taff Benson counseled members to pay off their mortgages during one general conference session. Hearing that counsel, President Eyring whispered to his wife and asked if it's possible for them to pay off their mortgage, and the following Monday their real esate agent called and said someone had inquired about their out of state property that was sitting on the market for quite some time. The sale amount was a few dollars over their mortgage amount and with the money they were able to pay off their mortgage. We may not have same result like President Eyring, but we know God will bless us when we have righteous desires and want to follow the prophet.
