Remember the Reason for the Season
I have created this special blog in answer to the plea from the General Authorities of my church, to have a presence in social media. For every bad piece of publicity about my church, there are tens of thousands of examples of good works just waiting to be shared. I hope this blog will add positive publicity about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

General Conference 2016
I love finding memes online with quotes from General Conference. Here is one of my favorites:
Other prophets have also commented on the Word of Wisdom:
Elder Richard G. Scott:
Do you scrupulously avoid the use of stimulants and substances that conflict with the intent of the Word of Wisdom, or have you made some personally rationalized exceptions? (General Conference, Priesthood Session, Oct. 2008)
Ezra Taft Benson:
We need a generation of young people who, as Daniel, eat in a more healthy manner than to fare on the “kings meat”—and whose countenances show it. – (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson , p. 476-477.
Harold B. Lee:
The Lord’s word of wisdom . . . counsels the simple diet of fruits, grains and vegetables in season, with meats used sparingly, has been given you as a revelation of God’s great law of health. . . . (The Teachings of Harold B. Lee, p. 205-6)
George Albert Smith:
(In the summer he ate no meat, and even in the winter months he ate very little.) Let me plead with you, search the Word of Wisdom prayerfully. Do not just read it, search it prayerfully. Discover what our Heavenly Father gave it for. He gave it to us with a promise of longer life and happiness, not if we fail to observe it, but if we observe it.

1 Nephi 1: 1, 3
...therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge.
