Doubt your doubts.Originally Posted by DrumNFeather
What is the gist/premise of Uchtdorf's talk? Is it just about following counsel of general authorities or that changes to the structure of the church may still be forthcoming?
Doubt your doubts.
His talk is based on this idea of "Are You Sleeping Through the Restoration" He offers three reasons as to why...which I want to get to in my lesson. I was just looking for some examples over the years of things we've heard over the pulpit in the way of counsel that we may have "slept" through (such as Getting out of Debt).Doubt your doubts.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

I used that talk (and the death of Robin Williams) as the premise of my lesson last week. It was a sober and somber lesson.

I spoke in church today . I was switched from 2nd counselor to 1st counselor. I was also the last speaker. I finished my talk with " to quote Joe Walsh: I cant complain but sometimes I still do. Lifes been good to me so far".
I spoke in church last week and had an impromptu joke. I was talking about spontaneous moments to teach your children and how one time I was walking into the grocery store with my daughter and there was a man outside smoking. She said to me outside of earshot, "Dad, that guy is bad, he is smoking!" I took that moment to lovingly correct her and said to her, "That man isn't bad because he is smoking, he is bad because he is wearing a BYU t-shirt."
Equal laughs and groans.
