Oh man, I can’t wait! Conference for me could be compared to a spiritual reset button, a 15,000 mile checkup, a good spring cleaning, or a hour long massage. I love being able to just relax, reflect and be reminded. T-minus 18 days!

MoSop,
I really enjoyed your preview of General Conference using excerpts of speeches from past conferences. You have some technical skills which far surpass mine.
I have, for the first time begun a preview of General Conference in my blog website indicated above. The first was published on March 14th and another will be posted on March 19th with two more after that, one on March 24th and one on March 29th. I will be using, mostly, Mormon Messages’ musical videos to illustrate key points of a number of General Authority Conference talks. I also include some Tabernacle Choir videos because that choir, is such an important part of General Conference as you so well know!
In my post which will be published on March 29th, soon before this conference begins Saturday, April 3, I plan to give technical instructions that are geared to my post readers in other lands who may not know how to access LDS General Conference using the Internet. I’m getting some technical support in this from an Internet expert working in the Church’s High-rise Church Office Building.
Thanks for the good example you set for me with your Conference Preview!
