A weekend of General Conference

What a good weekend. Conference was really good. As always...
I will admit, I did fall asleep for some of it on Sunday. Those afternoon sessions get me every time. Thank goodness for the Ensign. :)
If you want to listen to it...here is the web site...
Several of the talks were about not coming down from the high road...not gossiping. Asking yourself what the Savior would do...or how the Savior would see something or someone. When someone comes up to you and asks how someone is doing, what is your answer. That made me think. Now I know that we all have to judge between good and bad every day. And we can recognize when someone is in a good or a bad situation...but does that give us the right to think we are better than them? NO. It is a fine line between judging for MYSELF what I should or should not do...and judging someone for the choices that they make...OR...judge others because of the choices WE make. The hazard comes when we start to think that we are better than someone because maybe we aren't addicted to drugs...or we don't drink or don't go to bars or we don't shop on Sunday. We start to think that all of a sudden we are better because we help people, or we do service or we help the old lady cross the street. Not so kimosabe...not so...
I sometimes think of it this way...or I TRY TO....
We are ALL just a house payment or 2 away from living in the streets.
We are ALL just a Sunday or 2 away from being less active.
We would ALL be mortified if all our dirty little deeds were aired out in public(and ALL of us have them...even if we think we don't).
We are ALL just beggars. We can't even make the air we breathe.
We are ALL just trying to make it here on Earth and hope against hope that we learn enough and are kind enough and obedient enough to make it back to Heavenly Father.
We are ALL weak individuals in something...ME probably moreso than anyone else. I am totally weak in a lot of things...
We have to help each other...we have to be true friends. We have to be kind. We have to think of what the Savior would do then we have to have the courage to do it...whether it be opening our mouths and sharing the Gospel....or closing them and keeping the negativity to ourselves. I will be the FIRST to admit...I am not as good at the second one there...

Anyway...just some thoughts that were generated in my head from Conference...
