When I grow up I want to be a Middle Aged Mormon Man.

Confused by that title? Good I got your attention. Have you ever heard of the blog, Middle-Aged Mormon Man? If you haven't and you are a fan of hilarious LDS writing and lovely spiritual insights then I suggest you take a look at it. If you're not a fan of clicking links, then I guess you'll just have to keep reading and hope you catch on.


Well this cool Middle-aged Mormon Man decided to write out his thoughts on conference and I found this so entertaining that I decided to do it myself. (Hence title) So, for your pleasure (or maybe not if you hate long posts and joy) here are a few thoughts I had on General Conference:


The plan was not to take any notes and then Sister Dolton got up and said some pretty cool things and I had to whip out my journal. "What e're thou art, act well thy part." Secretly I think that was directed to the women who think they need the priesthood.  Learn thy part ladies. Also M. Russell Ballard talking about the priesthood and how everyone has a part. Coincidence? I think not! Saturday morning is always my favorite session.


I thought I was doing pretty good at not falling asleep but then I looked back at my notes and realized I had slept through all but two speakers from the Saturday afternoon session. Also, has anyone else noticed that President Uchtdorf always has to say all the names to the releasing and callings? I'm pretty sure that they assume that since he has an accent he can pronounce spanish names.


Sunday morning session is the hardest for me to take notes because all I really want to do is go back to sleep or get ready for the day. Plus I listen to part of it in the car on the way to my grandparents house. All I got out of President Monson's talk was obedience. I was too busy with my mouth hanging open and drooling. His voice makes me extremely happy.


My problem with Sunday afternoon session is I just barely finished eating a lot of really good food and then I snuggle down into my Grandma's comfy couch and it's just hard to pay attention. I didn't sleep though so I think that's a pretty great accomplishment. Who else was counting the scripture mastery's? Who else had a hard time spelling the last few brethren's names? I mean, Kopishke? How am I supposed to figure that one out?


Basically I love conference and I can't wait to go back and read the ones that I missed. If you don't really know what the heck General Conference is or who all these people I'm talking about are visit here and knock yourself out. Or ask the missionaries. They can help you.
