October 2000 General Conference Sunday Morning

James E. Faust -A Growing Testimony
  • One of the supreme benedictions of my life has been my marriage to an elect daughter of God.
  • At times I have stumbled and been less than I should have been. All of us experience those wrenching, defining, difficult decisions that move us to a higher level of spirituality. They are the Gethsemanes of our lives that bring with them great pain and anguish. Sometimes they are too scared to be shared publicly. They are the watershed experiences that help purge us of our unrighteous desires for the things of the world. As the scales of worldliness are taken from our eyes, we see more clearly who we are and what our responsibilities are concerning our divine destiny.
L. Tom Perry -Discipleship
  • It is in the hidden corners of our lives where there are things that only we know about that we must be particularly through to ensure that we are clean.
  • "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
  • Inescapably our thoughts shape our lives.
  • "Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life. Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance.
Virginia U. Jensen -"Lead, Kindly Light"
  • Christ will illuminate our path, "keep our feet," and show us the way home. For as the Savior has promised, "he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness."
  • Amidst encircling gloom, amidst the darkest possible circumstances, it is possible to feel hope, peace, and comfort--all because of the light which is stronger than all darkness, the light of Jesus Christ.
Thomas S. Monson -Dedication Day
  • Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."
  • When the seas of life are stormy, a wise mariner seeks a port of peace.
  • The standard works offer the library of learning of which I speak. We must be careful not to underestimate the capacity of children to read and to understand the word of God.
  • Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed.
  • Let me tell you a secret. People facing death don't think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. The circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth.
Gordon B. Hinckley -This Great Millennial Year
  • We love Thee and Thy divine Son. We seek to do Thy will. We praise Thy holy name. We lift our voices in anthems of worship. We testify of Thee and of our Redeemer, Thy matchless Son. Majestic is Thy way, glorious the tapestry of Thine eternal plan for all who walk in obedience unto Thee.
  • Wilt Thou smile with favor upon us, we pray in the sacred name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

-Sarnic Dirchi
