I will be on my iPad at the Nevada Las Vegas Paradise Stake with my sons and my father-in-law.
Yes, I live in Paradise.

Chris, at least you don’t live in prison. 🙂
Not spirit paradise…sheesh.
BYU-Idaho represent!
Go Vikings! Can we still call them that?
Hello, everyone…or anyone. I am at the Nevada Las Vegas Paradise Stake. Where are you watching priesthood session?
Home. The temptation to watch the UConn/Florida game during the hymns is strong with this one.
Oh, I dislike both of theme.
It looks like Ordain Women went down similar to last time…with bigger numbers,
Elder Oaks. I am expecting fewer fireworks than last time.
Interesting choice of words he used about how keys and authority of priesthood bless men and women.
This is the Ordain Woman response…no?
Seems like it.
Is this new doctrine what Elder Oaks said about Joseph Smith not receiving all priesthood keys? If not, does anyone have a scripture reference?
Church hierarchy does not have the authority to change the all male priesthood. — Elder Oaks.
Shorter Elder Oaks: So don’t think we are gonna give women the Priesthood anytime soon.
So not all authority in the Church is tied to the Priesthood? Makes sense.
It would make more sense for this talk to be given in a general session.
I can see why Priesthood is a good setting, but I am sure they know that OW will still be watching this online.
The symbolism is greater than just those that lined up with OW.
I love how he just said “rights”. I get the sense that he has a negative view of the concept of human made “rights:.
I am not feeling the love on that one.
I figured the theorist in you would cringe.
So womanhood=the priesthood?
Why the dig at human rights? As a Kantian liberal I understand the connection with human obligation.
BARF
Now you are getting poetic on my, bro.
Put away childish thjngs…not I feel bad about wearing my converse shoes to priesthood session. Not really.
You wore your converse shoes? Seriously?!!
Our most important priesthood duty….serving our wife and children.
UConn beat Florida 63-53. FYI
I know. Is it bad that I checked it during the talk?
It was an App update for me. I do not think it is bad…but I might not be reliable about such things.
Worthiness is such an amorphous concept. I wish there was a talk about that subject.
Haha. I see what he did there. The “choice” generation.
You can accomplish amazing things..like tweeting during #ldsconf
My cyber book of life includes a lot of Twitter, Facebook, and Buzzfeed.
And?????
DrudgeReport. You got me.
So is repentance like a “delete browser history” button?
It is no longer need to delete browser history.
Stay safe on the internet. Only read Approaching Justice. Am I the only one who heard it that way?
“Be where you are, when you are there”.
Using a smart phone does not make you smart. However, a iPad does #fyi
“an iPad”
That is what happens when you do this on AN iPad.
Haha! I love that your readers edit your posts. It’s what happens when you get so excited; you don’t go back and reread what you wrote.
I am gonna have to read Rip Van Winkle.
Are you sleeping through the Restoration?
So the theme of this session…don’t be selfish.
Making the narrator and I wait this late for some Uchtdorf is #notcool #ldsconf
Are you seriously hash tagging? I thought people made fun of it and didn’t actually do it.
Breaking: Pres. Utchdorf calls us the “narcissistic generation”
Can’t argue with that.
Hugs against selfishness.
Addictions are easier to prevent than to cure.
Oh to be the person conducting the background check on Monson and Utchdorf.
“Dieter, don’t even think about it.” Best moment of the day.
Oh to be the person who conducted the background check on Monson and Utchdorf.
Another plug for ARP.
Loving God and our neighbor is more important than Church service. Love. It.
I knew it. Pres. Eyring is a Yankee’s fan. 🙂
I am sure he has repented since then.
Shem loves baseball! This is his first priesthood session as a deacon! He is sitting by his grandpa who as a freshman at Stanford had Pres. Eyring as a bishop.
Very cool.
“By seeking praise for our service in this world, we may forfeit our blessings in heaven”
If you find yourself where you shouldn’t ought to be, GET OUT!
A little tease by Pres. Monson with the NCAA reference there.
Jabari Parker! This session is totally be tailored for Shem.
I love this story about the Prophet Joseph.
He left out the “Ye fiends of the infernal pit” part
Priesthood Session….by far the best session so far.
