Wedding Bells & Fond Memories

I ran away this weekend.

I went with my daughter, J, & her daughter, M.  We went to North Carolina, where we used to live, to attend & participate in a wedding - and got to have a reunion in the process!

We lived in North Carolina while our children were teenagers.  We HomeSchooled our children, and were heavily involved in the support group, H.O.M.E., where we made many wonderful friends.  Our lives also rotated around church & all the people, events, and wonderful Gospel of being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

This weekend, we went back.

General Conference & Social Media

What?
General Conference this weekend!  The whole world anxiously waits to hear from our church leaders. Living prophets who speak to us the words of God.  In an effort to reach more people, the church has embraced social media, with all it’s quirks & idiosyncrasies.  Even before the world echoed “Amen” to the Opening Session’s closing prayer, there were quotes, pictures, comics, and memes spread Facebook & Twitter account, & post regularly to them.  People are encouraged to comment, share, and make their own. 
across the internet.  Every one of the General Authorities have their own Facebook & twitter account, & post regularly to them.  People are encouraged to comment, share, and make their own.

Have you done it yet? What stands out to you most from Conference?  If you were to make someone’s talk into a one-liner, what would you quote?  What would you show?  How would you portray it?
