One of the last speakers talked about living the spiritual life and living the material life and how if you try to live the two you'll have more trials. When you live the spiritual life you'll still have trials but they'll be much easier to go through. We can't try to live the spiritual life while soaking our feet in worldly things.
Not that I've been basking around in sin or anything like that but I certainly haven't been doing what I need to do to be living the spiritual life.
I have found that I spend more time on the internet then I should. I play more games on facebook instead of spending more time with and talking to my husband. I sit there and watch TV, while also on the internet, instead of getting up and moving around; exercising, reading my scriptures, practicing my guitar/violin/piano.
I have wasted so much of my precious, delicate life doing mindless things for entertainment. Not even giving a second thought at what I could be doing that is better.
I have been given talents that I don't use, and body that I let become sedentary, a brain that I don't exercise.
I'm grateful for these lessons and for the realization that my life is worth so much more.

I enjoyed his talk too. He's actually my cousin. Or...married to my cousin. They live in the townhomes too. Isn't humbling though to realize what we could be doing with our time and how much we waste it? I'm totally guilty of that too.
Totally agreed. It's good to get up and do, and it's also good to sit and chill. We need all of it, I think. But I do agree that the world would benefit from hearing that gorgeous voice of yours a little more often:)
