✝️🕍 Well, #LDS General Conference is over (next one in April). Decent talks. One which caused most buzz this weekend was about not #gambling. Like the last two conferences, NO new temples announced. #GeneralConference #LDSConf ❉

There's something about this rhetoric about love and truth, or the first two commandments that never sits quite right with me. It's not that I really disagree, it's just that it always seems to be missing something. I'm not sure how to express it, but I'm going to try. #ldsconf

Whoa uncle dallin spoke for like 3 and a half minutes. What's up with that #ldsconf

🍞🍓 9 1/2 years ago I started this conference #snack tradition: x.com/Neilfan12/st..., am eating it now while watching the final session on TV. 😀

#Bagel with #butter, strawberry #jelly & light sprinkle of shredded #cheese.

Trying to remember if I've ever seen an apostle speak directly to the young children in #ldsconf. It's usually a member of the primary presidency, but I do feel like I've seen it before. Just can't remember when.

My opinion? I think we make more of a distinction between lateral and vertical sealings than is warranted or mecessary. I think the only vertical sealing that matters is us to Christ. Other than that, it's all essentially lateral.

I'm not sure a story about a strict border official turning someone away for a damaged passport as a metaphor for the role of covenants and ordinances in salvation is the best choice for the moment. #ldsconf

Jehovah, though, is actually quite common.

For Elohim, it is an uptick, because it hasn't been used in General Conference in almost 10 years, and then it was by ... Elder Dallin H. Oaks.

A lot of similar content from President Oaks' Sunday Morning message to his February 2026 BYU address.

If I'm counting right, we've had 4 speakers from Africa so far this #GeneralConference - is that a record? #lds #ldsconf

Is it just me, or does there also seem to be an uptick on using the names Elohim and Jehovah in #GeneralConference? #ldsconf #lds

Yesterday, a Mormon church leader spoke about the immorality of gambling.

I would focus on the immorality of gambling companies, and the deep harm that gambling--especially online sportsbook--does to people, but I fully agree and appreciate him speaking to the moment. #ldsconf

A couple thoughts about the music at #ldsconf. So far i's been a pretty even split between the new hymns and the most familiar, most traditional hymns from the old book. The ones the choir has been singing for decades. As a ward music coordinator, I relate to this.

Speaking of Elder Soares' talk, here's a link to an essay I wrote for Wayfare with my thoughts on an approach to Fasting that resonated with me... ⤵️

Thinking about this idea Sister Chibota discussed that seeing people as children of God helps you look past labels, I can't help but remember Pete Hegseth's recent bigoted screed about the labels he finds threatening and how people who he applies them to aren't welcome in the military. #ldsconf
